How to Apply Mascara: Quick Tips

• Step 1. If you have an eyelash curler, use it. It's a great way to prep your lashes for mascara application
• Step 2. If you're applying liner, swipe it on before the mascara, not after, to ensure it goes on flawlessly; curled lashes can hinder application
• Step 3. Repeat the step above for any other eye makeup you may want to apply
• Step 4. Now, it's time to actually apply the mascara. Dip the wand in the product, wipe off excess product, then apply it on your lashes. For the upper lashes, start on the lower side from the lid, then work the product outwards, gently. For the lower lashes, very gently apply product starting from your lower lashline (you can skip this entirely if you're applying kajal)
• Step 5. Brush out the clumps, if any
• Step 6. Repeat above steps if necessary (but don't overdo it, or your lashes will look clumpy!)
• Step 7. SLAY!
