Eyelashes are essential elements of our eyes. This is why knowing how to highlight them well is essential. Discover our best tips for applying makeup to your eyelashes.

Eyelash makeup is a subtle art. It is therefore important to respect certain rules so as not to end up with eyelashes that are too heavy with makeup or, on the contrary, not voluminous enough. How to successfully apply eyelash makeup for sure? Discover our 5 tips for perfect beauty for your eyes.

Brush your eyelashes before applying makeup

To make sure you apply your makeup to clean lashes, start by brushing your lashes with a brush head. This will initially cleanse them by removing all traces of impurities and dead skin. Additionally, it will separate your lashes from each other, which will subsequently make applying your mascara easier.

Go through the essential step of using an eyelash curler

The eyelash curler allows you to accentuate the natural curvature of your eyelashes. To do this, always use a clean eyelash curler on previously brushed eyelashes and especially without mascara. Indeed, mascara tends to harden the hairs of your eyelashes, which can become more easily brittle due to lack of flexibility.

Finally, also take care to position your eyelash curler correctly. Ideally, position your make-up accessory at the level of the upper eyelashes and gently squeeze your eyelash curler for a few seconds. You can repeat this once or twice following the length of your eyelashes. Eyelash enhancement in an institute can also be an excellent alternative to restore volume to your eyelashes!

Apply your mascara correctly

You can amply apply 2 to 3 coats of mascara after curling your eyelashes. The trick to applying it well is to zigzag with the brush to avoid forming clumps. In addition, it will give your eyelashes a more voluminous and elongated effect.

On the other hand, for your makeup to be more precise, be careful to apply your makeup with a clean brush that is not too heavy in texture, otherwise clumps of mascara will be almost inevitable.

How to choose the right mascara?

Choosing your mascara should be done carefully. Always choose quality products so as not to damage your eyelashes. Another important point to take into account is that depending on the mascara brand, the expected effects are not always the same. Take the time to read the specifications of your product before purchasing it, to be sure it matches the result you want to achieve.

Which shade to choose?

To highlight your eyelashes, the color of your mascara should not be left to chance. Generally, the black color is preferred, because it accentuates the look and suits all iris colors. However, some eye shades can afford more original colors, such as electric blue, purple or other flashier colors.

Using baby powder

Baby powder is an unexpected make-up tip to say the least, which can give you the opportunity to enjoy XXL eyelash volume.

To apply it, nothing could be simpler, put on a first coat of mascara, then apply talcum powder to the ends of your eyelashes. Finally, apply a final coat of mascara.

This way, the volume of your eyelashes will be accentuated and will give a guaranteed false eyelash effect, without having to resort to natural eyelash extensions !

Focus on lower eyelash makeup

Our eye is surrounded by two types of eyelashes: the upper eyelashes and the lower eyelashes. They correspond respectively to the lower and upper eyelashes of your eyelid. If the upper eyelashes are often highlighted, because they are more visible, the lower eyelashes are also important and should not be neglected or poorly made up.

Indeed, applying makeup to your lower eyelashes can be complex, since these eyelashes are very close to your lower eyelid, which can lead to material falling out and smudging onto the lower part of your eye. A simple little trick is to put a sheet of paper right on your lower eyelid. This way, if the mascara runs, your complexion will not be impacted.

Another point, you should know that putting makeup on your lower eyelashes is not always very wise. Indeed, if you have very dark circles, it is better to avoid making up your lower eyelashes and focus everything on your upper eyelashes. On the other hand, if you have light eyes or small eyes, lightly applying makeup to your lower lashes can help you open up your eyes and bring modernity to your makeup.
