Thick lashes add drama and intensity to your eyes. If you know how to apply mascara, you can achieve this look with ease. Makeup enthusiasts and experts alike know that a swipe or two of mascara can significantly affect the length and volume of lashes, giving you a stunning look. But beginners need help with the application process, and we’re here to help. Swipe up to find out more!
Step 1: Start with clean eyes and lashes
Make sure there are no traces of makeup on the lashes. A clean substrate is always good to prevent clumping.
Step 2: Curl your eyelashes
Looking straight ahead, hold the eyelash curler at the base of the lashes (but not too close). Now look down and gently press on the lashes. Repeat 3 times while moving towards the tip of the lashes. Depending on your needs, you can choose black or brown for the application.
Tips: Another way to curl your eyelashes is to place your index finger at the base of your eyelashes, look down and hold for 6 seconds. Do this if you are uncomfortable using an eyelash curler.
Step 3: Start in the middle
Open the mascara tube and wipe off the excess product with the applicator. Look directly in the mirror and place the applicator at the base of the lashes. Sweep the applicator up to coat your lashes from root to tip. You can “wiggle” the applicator to ensure it evenly coats the lashes.
Step 4: Go to the corners
Now comes the tricky part: coat the corners of your eyes. Use the applicator tip to cover the corners of the lashes. Coat them evenly from root to tip. This will prevent the mascara from smudging or transferring.
Step 5: Use a clean spoolie brush to prevent clumping
Using a spoolie brush or lash comb, comb your lashes down and then up to prevent clumping. Do this before the first coat of mascara has completely dried.
Step 6: Apply a second coat
Follow the same technique to apply a second coat of mascara.

How to Apply Mascara on Lower
The lower lashes tend to be shorter, finer, and sparser than the upper lashes. It’s difficult to use the same mascara application technique without smudging or transferring the product. Here’s a simple guide on how to apply mascara to your lower lashes like a pro.
Step 1: Insert a tissue
Tilt your head down and look straight into the mirror. Place a tissue under your lower lashes to protect the eye area.
Step 2: Start in the middle
Wipe off the excess mascara and apply to the middle part of your lower lashes.
Step 3: Apply to corner lashes
Coating the corner lashes can be tricky. Hold the wand vertically and use the tip to cover each lash on the inner and outer corner of your eye. This technique works best for shorter or finer lashes on the lower eyelid.
