Want to get those fluttery, doll-like eyelashes? A mascara is a beauty wand that can help you achieve the look. A makeup tool that is widely used to darken, lengthen, as well as thicken eyelashes, it lends a more defined and enchanting look to your eyes. It may look intimidating at first but once you master the art of applying mascara, it will make a significant difference in your overall makeup look.

Like all things great-looking, there is a technique that needs to be used when wearing mascara to make sure it is correctly applied.

Step-by-Step Guide to Apply Mascara

To make your eyes appear defined, expressive and dreamy, you need to nail the best mascara application technique. We’ve explained each step in detail so you can apply your mascara with ease.

Step 1: Prep your lashes

Start by curling your lashes using an eyelash curler to give them a natural lift and open up your eyes.

Step 2: Choose the right mascara

Select the best mascara for your needs. You can choose from Lancôme mascaras which offers a wide range of options, including the Hypnôse Drama Waterproof mascara, which provides intense volume and a long-lasting effect.

Step 3: Remove excess mascara

Before applying mascara, ensure the wand isn’t overloaded with the product. Gently wipe off any excess mascara from the brush to avoid clumps and smudges.

Step 4: Start at the base

Hold the mascara wand horizontally and position it at the base of your lashes. Wiggle the wand back and forth slightly to deposit the mascara at the roots of your lashes.

Step 5: Sweep upwards

Keeping the wand horizontal, slowly sweep it upwards from the base towards the tips of your lashes. The curved brush of Lancôme’s Hypnôse Drama Waterproof mascara helps to coat and lift each lash for a dramatic effect.

Repeat the same process for the other eye.

Step 6: Apply to lower lashes

For a more complete look, lightly brush the mascara wand along your lower lashes. Be careful not to apply too much product to prevent smudging.

Step 7: Build layers 

If you have a special evening planned where you want extra drama happening with your eyelashes, you can add that extra volume or length. Simply wait for the first coat of mascara to dry. Once dried, apply another coat. Continue adding coats till you’re satisfied with the result. Lancôme’s Hypnôse Drama Waterproof mascara allows you to layer without clumping, providing a bold and voluminous look.

Final Touches: Check for any smudges or excess mascara using a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover or Lancôme’s Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover. Allow the mascara to dry completely before applying any other eye makeup.

Applying mascara correctly is essential to achieving a flawless and captivating makeup look. We hope this technique we share will help you unravel the beauty of your eyes and lashes. Remember to choose the right and best quality mascarafor your needs, prepare your lashes properly, and apply the product using a steady hand and gentle strokes.
