How to Apply Mascara - Eye Makeup - Remove Mascara - Tips

There are a couple of ways to apply mascara. Although eye shadows define and dramatize your eyes, only your eyelashes are in a position to actually reflect colour into the eyes. So, to emphasize the colour of your eyes, you must frame them with an appropriate shade of mascara.

Step 1 - First look down and brush the top lashes from the roots downwards; then look up and brush the top lashes upwards. Then still looking up, brush colour on the lower lashes;

Step 2 - Wait a minute for them to dry, and similarly apply a second coat.

Step 3 - After applying the mascara, brush with a clean dry brush, to separate the lashes. You should not, however, have a lot of problem with sticking of your eye lashes if you're applying less than two coats.

To Remove the Mascara

While removing the mascara avoid the colour from going onto the delicate area below the bottom lashes. Hold a tissue under the bottom lashes and close your eyes. Roll a cotton bud dipped in a cosmetic cleanser over the lashes, taking the mascara down onto the tissue. Repeat till all the mascara is gone.
