Many of us, if not all, think that putting on mascara couldn’t be any easier. However, believe us when we say that we are making a lot of mistakes when doing it.

Here are the 5 mistakes you normally do without knowing:

1- You start by applying it on our top lashes.

When you do so, your lashes will smudge once you apply mascara on your bottom lashes. So start with your lower lashes. When you are doing your top lashes, look straight ahead and start with putting your wand at the base to help them curl.

2- You pump the wand many times

By doing this, you are pushing air into the tube, causing the mascara to dry faster. Instead, you can pick up the desired amount of mascara by doing a circular motion.

Before putting on the mascara, take off any excess, so you don’t get lumpy lashes.

3- You use old mascara

First, avoid using old mascara because your eyes will get infected. Second, don’t use it because it will give your eyelashes a lumpy look.

4- You don’t take into consideration the type of your eyes

Putting on mascara is not the same for all women. If your eyes are apart, you should put more coats on the inner side of your eyes. This doesn’t apply for women who have close eyes, because they need to put more coats on the outer side of their eyes.

5- You don’t use the curler

Do so, because it will make your eyes look bigger.

Try to avoid these mistakes the next time you put on mascara and we guarantee that you will find a big difference!
