5 top tips for getting the most out of your mascara:
- Don’t apply more than 2 coats of mascara. Applying more will make your eyelashes look clumpy
- If you have shorter lashes, use a brush with smaller bristles and vice versa
- Don’t pump your mascara wand into the tube – this allows air into the tube and causes your mascara to dry out
- If you want to get to the root of your eyelashes with your mascara, use the tip of your wand to get the them
- If your mascara dries out, don’t throw it away. You can use the thicker remnants as brow gel
