1. Top Vs. Bottom Lashes
/filters:quality(70)/content/dw/xh/mykjl8zk_497x750.jpg)
For a casual look, skip the mascara on your bottom lashes. Personally, I think the top lashes are already enough! However, if you feel like your look just isn't complete without it, use less mascara on lower lashes than on the top ones. You don't want it to look too overwhelming!
2. Pumping the Wand

When applying mascara, never pump the wand! What that does is adds air to the mascara container, which will only make your mascara dry out faster. I used to be guilty of this but now I know better!

3. When to Buy a New One

You should be changing your mascara every 3-6 months. Personally, I tend to lean toward the 3-month mark. It helps avoid problems of the mascara drying out or becoming clumpy! Make sure to change your mascara if you notice a change in its color, if it has a funky smell to it, or if you've noticed that it's become dry and flaky!
4. Extra Coat

After you've coated your lashes with mascara, add another layer to the outer corners. This extra coat will make your lashes look especially long!

Comments
Jackie: I use Lancôme hypnose mascara and Lancôme cils primer. My lashes always look triple in size with my mascara on!!
HandbagJunkie: I use a Sharpie to mark the date I bought it right on the tube so I know how long I've had it and when it needs to be tossed. I need this system because I own 20+ tubes!
Beryl: I use Estée Lauder Primer for eyelashes before applying mascara. Makes them much thicker! Never do the bottom eyelashes as now am older they are very sparse!
Thelma62913: It absolutely is! However, I always add mascara to the bottom lashes. Clinique came out with one specifically for them, and it's only $10! It's excellent and doesn't smudge.
Aubri: There is nothing i love more than doing my Eyelashes!
Kaitlyn: I've used Arbonne mascara for 3 months now and my lashes have grown more fuller and longer. I rarely wear mascara now, unless I'm going out.
