Hello Barbie’s, It’s been a
while, I know….. I have been caught up with lots of course work from school
that I have paid less attention to my blog, which I feel terrible about. Anyways,
I am hoping to catch up on the stuffs I have missed out on. How have you guys
been? “STUNNING”, as I thought right??
So today, I am going to be sharing tips about my
new found addiction, “MASCARA”. Thinking about how much I dislike anything touching
my eyelashes, kept me wondering why the sudden love for mascara, alas… It
struck, ‘The Mascara Effect’.
Mascara is a must have make-up tool in any ladies
make-up bag. Mascara has the ability to transform the appearances of your lashes
from *PLAIN TO STUNNING*, by increasing its length, thickness and volume. For
ladies, with naturally long lashes, Mascara helps to enhance the appearances of
your eyes.
The Mascara effect is an easy way to draw attention
to your eyes and also make your eye stand out with or without eye shadow. Whereas, when mascara is applied improperly,
it draws attention to the clumps in your lashes and creates an unattractive
effect.
Applying mascara is as easy
as applying any other make-up. It just takes some practices in learning the
techniques. Here are some tips I use in applying my mascara to create that ‘PLAIN
TO STUNNING’ effect;
Step one; having the right mascara is the first step in
achieving your perfect mascara effect. In picking mascara, you should consider
the formula you want; lengthening, thickening, waterproof or non-clumping, depending
on the look you want to achieve.
Step two; before applying, remove any excess mascara from the tip of your wand by
scraping the tip against the side of the tube or wiping it with tissue.
Step three; gently wiggle the wand left to right at the roots of
your lashes which gives it the illusion of length. Then slowly pull the wand up
towards the tip, wiggling as you go. Wiggling helps to separate lashes and minimize
clumping
Step four; using a back and forth motion while moving the wand up helps your lashes create a curly effect.
Step five; you can apply addition coat, to create a defined look and get your
lashes as thick as you want but usually 2-3 coats are required to avoid heavy
eyelashes and clumping and this must be apply before the first coat is dried.
Step six; applying mascara for your bottom lashes is not always necessary. But I sometimes
apply on mine, I gently apply a coat of mascara and I try to avoid smudging on
my lower lid.
Step seven; in completing my application, I close my eye and used
my mascara wand from my makeup brushes on my eyelashes, pulling through from
the base to remove any clumps.
These are the basic steps I used in applying and
creating the mascara effect. I hope it helps any of the lovely Barbie’s out
there in transforming their eyelashes from ‘PLAIN TO STUNNING’ without the aid
of a fake eye lashes. Have fun in achieving the mascara effect. Stay Beautiful.
