How to apply mascara

The best way to get those curly lashes is to curl your lashes once before applying mascara and once after the mascara has dried. It is hands-down, the most impactful way to make them legit long and fluttery fringe. To make lashes look extra thick, it’s best to dab and puff the lashes with translucent powder before applying the mascara.

It’s best not to coat the mascara brush in a pumping action since it allows the air to flow into the tube and along with it air borne bacteria into the tube. Coat the wand in one go and apply, first in a downward motion the top lashes by keeping your eyes closed and then open them and coat in one direction from left to right and then from right to left. For the lower lashes do a zig zag motion from right to left and then left to right. This is exactly how I do, and I love it! To prevent further clumps, wipe off that excess mascara on a tissue paper.

For most of us applying a single coat of mascara is our only move. But you can add that extra “oomph” by wiggling it. Yes, open your eyes wide and wiggle your top lashes’ tip with a mascara. Remember, only the top and not to the whole of lashes. Let it dry completely. Once done, wiggle your mascara through the entire body of the lashes—that is from the roots to the tip of your lashes. The extra mascara at the tips lifts your lashes outward and lengthens them, which adds on to the glamor of your eyes. A well-defined base, what else do we need?

Another way to apply mascara is by closing your eyes and holding it tight at one corner, (just like when you are applying an eyeliner.) Now take the mascara and pull it outward from the down lashes. Thereafter open your eyes and carefully apply mascara from bottom to the top lashes. Now go for another round (for that fluttering look, always coat your lashes thrice ) and apply it in a zig-zag motion. Once done, keep eyes closed for at least 15 to 30 seconds and let your mascara dry up. For those sexy, super-defined look, comb your lashes to get rid of clumps.

If, on the other hand, you’re going for trendy eye look, our favorite too, then opt for the colored mascaras — we’re talking greens, purples, orange and wine reds — a bit tricky to pull off but once done, it looks gorgeous. In case you have decided to rock this look, just swipe on your blue mascara and then apply a strip of dark falsies on top — you can skip your smokey eyes effect too.

Available in black, blue and brown, Dr. Hauschka mascara creates fuller lashes that accentuate your eyes. Medicinal extracts of eyebright, black tea and neem leaves have a soothing effect on the sensitive eye area while rose wax and jojoba oil protect and fortify each individual eyelash. Ophthalmologically and dermatologically tested.

Eye make-up can be gently removed using the moisturising, creamy Cleansing Milk. Simply pump a little Cleansing Milk onto a moist cotton wool pad and gently wipe away the eye make-up using a sweeping outward motion.

The Mascara adds the finishing touch to the eyes. Apply this first to the lower and then the upper lashes using a zig-zag technique: hold the brush at a diagonal to the lash growth direction and move it back and forth. Finally, drag the brush away to the side, not upward.
