Eyelash make-up – check the most common mistakes!

How to apply make-up so that your eyelashes are full of volume but at the same time natural, separated and match your beauty? Many women learn how to do it through trial and error. What are the most common make-up mistakes that make your eyelashes look worse than they could have?

It’s good to know what are the most common mistakes in eyelash make-up – either to prove your own skills or to find out what you’re doing wrong. A properly made make-up guarantees perfect appearance and durable effects. Even the most expensive mascara will not give promising results if we don’t know how to use it. And, in fact, the amount of possible mistakes is impressive!

EYELASH MAKE-UP ERRORS

1. Too strong pressure on the brush

The application of mascara is not a battle so you don’t have to expose your strength. Eyelashes like delicacy because they are tiny. If we push the wand too hard, there may be smudges on our eyelid. A good mascara should have an applicator with which you can apply the formula leaving perfectly clean eyelashes even without pressing. This way the effect will be natural and the process itself will not damage our lashes.

2. Not replacing the mascara every 3-6 months

There is no make-up product that would last forever and retain all its properties for months. There is no specified shelf life when it comes to mascara. However, you should always keep in mind that mascara stays fresh for 3 months or (in the case of a better quality cosmetic) a maximum of 6 months. After this time it’s necessary to replace it with a new one, even if it has not been finished yet. Otherwise, the risk of eye irritations associated with bacteria accumulated in the tube increases. The end result will be unsatisfactory as well, because old mascara can make clumps.

3. Applying mascara only on eyelash tips

Applying the formula from the roots to the ends is very important. Obviously, covering only eyelash tips is faster as it does not require much precision and focus, unfortunately, it does not guarantee a spectacular effect. It’s only possible to achieve a desirable effect when applying the mascara from the roots.

4. Applying too many layers of mascara

Sometimes we think that if we apply more layers of the product, we will achieve more spectacular and beautiful effects. It is not the case, unfortunately. It’s better to choose a very good mascara that will properly emphasize your eyelashes with just one layer. Applying next coats is a simple way to stick the lashes together.

5. Using mascaras of poor quality

Another common mistake involves the choice of mascara of poor quality. We tend to forget that eyelashes also require care, they are delicate and very susceptible to damage. That’s why we should pay special attention to the products we use. Check the composition to eliminate mascaras with strong chemicals. Replace them with products enriched with nutrients (vitamins, amino acids, extracts). A good mascara should contain the highest quality substances.

6. Pumping the wand in and out of the tube

A definite winner when it comes to eyelash make-up mistakes is pumping the wand. Many women in order to get more formula (especially when it’s old) pump the applicator in and out of the tube. This is a huge mistake! This way the air is pushed into the tube which makes the mascara dry faster than normally.
