1. Replace Every 2 Months

Replace Every 2 Months If you want amazing lashes then you have to use fresh mascara. Replace your mascara every 2 months, 3 months maximum. Fresh mascara always delivers the most impact. If you feel wasteful doing this then remember that eye doctors recommend you toss mascara every 3 months, too. Not only will your lashes look fab but you’ll avoid yucky germs this way.

2. Mix up a Mascara Cocktail

Mix up a Mascara Cocktail This’s my favorite mascara secret. Mixing 2 mascaras will give your lashes a look that’s completely unique. My favorite combo is a volumizing mascara mixed with one that’s lengthening. But you can also mix it up so that you’ve got a lengthening with a curling or a volumizing with a defining. Apply the mascara you like best first and then go back over it with the second mascara for a final coat.

Frequently asked questions

3. Wiggle through Both Sides of Your Lashes

Wiggle through Both Sides of Your Lashes Don’t forget the top of your lashes! It’s easy to neglect the top of your lashes but this area needs attention too. Simple wiggle your wand through the top of your lashes before you start working on the more visible underside. Wiggling helps you to coat every lash. It can take a bit of time to get this right so be patient with yourself.

4. Turn Your Mascara Brush Vertical

Turn Your Mascara Brush Vertical After you’ve coated both sides of your lashes by wiggling your mascara brush through then turn the brush vertical. This tip is great for getting those tiny lashes near the inner corner. I also like to coat the outer lashes again using this technique. And this’s the absolute best way to apply mascara to your bottom lashes. Once you start applying mascara to your bottom lashes by holding your brush vertically versus horizontally then you’ll never go back.

5. Let Q-tps do Clean-up Duty

You don’t have to wear mascara very long before you see marks where wet lashes have touched skin. Clean up duty can be a pain. Rather than try to smudge it off with your fingers, use this strategy. A dry q-tip can easily do clean-up duty. Simply dab it over the mascara mark and it’ll come right off.

6. Soak Your Mascara in a Cup of Hot Water

Soak Your Mascara in a Cup of Hot Water So you meant to replace your mascara but you forgot. While fresh mascara is always best, this tip can help you out until you get a new tube. Place your closed mascara tube in a cup of hot water for a few minutes. This helps thin it out enough to apply. You’ll be astonished how well this works but don’t let that deter you from replacing your mascara regularly!

7. Separate Your Lashes

Separate Your Lashes Don’t you love the look of perfectly defined lashes? They’re separated evenly and look beautiful! You can get that look with this trick. Save your old mascara brushes and wash them well. They’re perfect for separating any clumps you may have. Your lashes will be so perfectly defined you may be even asked if they’re real.

8. Buy the Right Mascara

face, person, cartoon, nose, head, There's tons of mascaras on the market in a plethora of colors. Make sure you're picking the right product for what you want it to do such as curl, lengthen, etc.

9. Baby Powder

black, eye, face, white, black and white, Between mascara coats, make sure to coat your lashes with a thin layer of baby powder (paying special attention to the tips) to help the second coat of mascara stick and enlongate your lashes.

10. Don't Pump Your Wand

hair, face, eyebrow, woman, person, Instead of pumping the wand in the tube, twist it around. Pumping only pushes air and bacteria in which dries out your mascara faster (creating clumps) and puts you at a greater risk for an infection (eww!).

These're 7 mascara hacks to give you great lashes. Now I have to ask! What’s your favorite mascara or best kept mascara secret?

Milani runway lashes is a brilliant mascara. Just discovered it on a YouTube tutorial. And bonus, it's cheap and not tested on animals.

About the q tips, there are really good ones with a pointed tip and the other flat, they work very well and for the same price as regular qtips

I love the CoverGirl Super Sizer

Great article, thank You, 😉

My lashes have thinned out a considerable amount! It's upsetting. People used to think my lashes were fake too, now I have a couple of little patches where there aren't any lashes! I have no idea what's going on, any suggestions ladies??

I where two mascaras all the time. I use lengthening on the bottom and a waterproof volume one on top. When, I'm in a rush I use the L'oreals double extend mascara (but not the primer side because you end up with clumpy, spider lashes).

Always used Great Lash pink & green tube . Always used as has no fibers they send to fall in my eyes make them sore :-/

I use Loreal Carbon Black Mascara after I use Maybelline Lash Sensational, it's creates beautiful lashes.

Lovely article, interesting tips, thanks! I received a sample of DIORSHOW, OMG it's amazing, natural looking lashes with volume and length, love love love & recommend

Thank you @hey123!! I'm going to try it ASAP! :)
