Eyelashes: Make the Most of Yours! How to use an Eyelash Curler, a Lash Primer, and Hints for Mascara Application

<h1>Eyelashes: Make the Most of Yours!

Second:  Try a lash primer.   A lash primer or lash conditioner provides a base coat for your mascara.  It will condition, thicken and strengthen your lashes all in one step - even before you apply your mascara.  Just brush a lash conditioner onto your lashes and let dry completely prior to mascara application.   Third:  Apply mascara to your upper lashes from the base to end of the lashes.  Idea:  Turn your mascara wand upright and 'tip' the ends of your eyelashes with the end of the mascara wand, thus coating the very ends of your lashes with a good amount of the mascara, helping your lashes to appear longer.  You may wish to do the same step to your lower lashes, but use sparingly, as too much mascara underneath the eye can make the eyes appear tired.  Use a clean spoolie or lash brush to comb through your lashes if they need to be separated.  Let each coat of mascara dry completely before applying additional mascara to the lashes. Last:  To help the base of your eyelashes appear thicker, use a very thin line of high-pigment eyeliner, either pencil or liquid, whichever is preferred.     About the Author: Commercial makeup artist, Jennifer Kalman, developed the QDazzle(TM) concept as a way to share her makeup application experience to help you look your most beautiful for your prom, pageant, wedding, quinceanera or special event!
