Sure, we all want lovely, natural looking eyelashes like this excited young man.
But a lot of us just don't know how to do it right.
Especially when it comes to the lower lashes, which I believe should only be coated in mascara if you know what you're doing.
So, do you know what you're doing?
Yes?
Liar.
Here's the good word, thanks to a lovely makeup artist called Sam Powell, who taught me the secret trick to Applying Mascara to Lower Lashes.
It's this: Only apply mascara to the roots of the lower lashes.
Just wiggle the wand in there for a second.
Avoid the tips like they are an invitation to nibble on a homeless man's toenails. You don't want mascara on the tips. 'Cause that's when you morph from a Sweet Girl Trying to Accentuate Her Eyes, to a Spooky Clown Woman That People Will Avoid at Parties.
