How to choose mascara

Thick type - thick bristle brush head

Features: This is the most common type of brush head, made of nylon, large enough, and dense enough, so it can adhere to more cream to create a full and thick eyelash effect. But it is more likely to clump and fly legs, so do not apply it repeatedly when using it. First focus on the root of the eyelashes to achieve a thick effect, and then apply a small amount to the end of the eyelashes.

Suitable for: Girls with long eyelashes but not thick enough.

Slim type--Long and thin brush head

Features: The bristles of the long brush head are not as dense as those of the dense brush head. The gaps between the bristles are larger. The brush head is slender, which allows the cream to wrap up from the root of the eyelashes to create a distinct effect. The makeup effect is natural and suitable for daily makeup. Natural and long, each eyelash is distinct, and there will be no fly legs. Pulling upward along the direction of eyelash growth can achieve the effect of lengthening eyelashes.

Suitable for: Girls with short but thick eyelashes.

Curled type--arc brush head

Features: If you want your eyelashes to curl up like a small fan, then you need a curved brush head like this. It can keep the eyelashes curled during use, and can take care of the eyelashes at the end and beginning of the eye. Many fairies have been confused about the use of the curved brush head before. Should I use the concave side or the convex side?

In fact, the standard usage is to first use the concave side to brush from the root of the eyelashes to shape them, and then use the convex side to brush the ends of the eyelashes, simply and roughly curling the eyelashes up to the sky~

Applicable people: girls with sagging eyelashes.

Special type--Extra fine brush head

Features:

This brush head can create the most nude makeup effect. If you don't like heavy mascara, fly legs, and like the daily subtle eye makeup effect, this brush head is the most suitable. Because the brush head is delicate, the effect will not be so obvious when using it. You can apply it in small amounts and multiple times until you achieve the effect you want. Don't think it is not easy to use~

Applicable people: girls with short eyelashes.

Sea urchin brush head

Features: The appearance of the sea urchin-shaped brush head breaks the phenomenon of traditional brush heads brushing all the way to the bottom. It can take care of every eyelash and make them longer one by one. It can also take care of the places that are usually difficult to brush, such as the beginning and end of the eye. However, the sea urchin-shaped brush head is not easy to control and requires certain skills. Beginners may find it difficult to use, but after finding the trick to use it, they will feel that they can't live without it~

Suitable for: Advanced makeup experts who love to try new things.

Comb type brush head

Features: This brush head looks like a small plastic comb, which can comb the eyelashes apart while brushing them, making the makeup look fresh and not dirty. When using it, brush from the root of the eyelashes to comb out the tangled eyelashes. The technique should be smooth, and do not stay at the root for too long, otherwise the cream will stick to the root of the eyelashes and become a mess.

Applicable people: girls with slender but not thick eyelashes.

Composite type--all-in-one brush head

Features: People are greedy. A mascara with only one function cannot meet all needs. At this time, a brush head with multiple functions appears. It can not only curl and thicken the lashes, but also lengthen them. One is enough.

Suitable for people: girls with multiple needs or those with poor eyelashes.

How to avoid clumping of mascara

Don't be obsessed with applying in a Z-shaped pattern. It's best not to apply thick, moist mascaras or those with lengthening fibers in a Z-shaped pattern. If the direction of each application is inconsistent, it's easy for the eyelashes to stick together, or the lengthening fibers and eyelashes to curl in different directions. Just stretch them in the same direction, otherwise they will clump and become fly legs more easily. You can also prepare a clean spiral brush. When you find clumps and fly legs when applying mascara, use the spiral brush to clear them immediately. Or switch to a mascara with a thin brush head (but some people think it's not thick enough).

The correct way to apply mascara

STEP 1: Curl eyelashes

First, you need to curl your eyelashes, and make sure they have a beautiful arc to look good, so when curling your eyelashes, you must apply force at the root of the eyelashes. After fixing the eyelash curler at the root of the eyelashes, gently bend it upwards, and pay attention to lifting your elbows appropriately to apply force, so that the effect will be better, and the closer to the front of the eyelashes, the lighter the force should be.

STEP 2: Adjust the eyelash angle

Use a small eyelash curler to properly adjust the curvature of your eyelashes, especially at the beginning and end of the eye. Don't forget.

STEP 3: Eyelash shaping

First preheat the electric eyelash curler, and after curling your eyelashes, place it at the root and middle of your eyelashes. Just stay there for two to three seconds. This will make your eyelashes more curled and the curvature more lasting.

STEP 4: Apply eyelash primer

You only need to apply a thin layer of eyelash primer or eyelash lengthening liquid that has the function of protecting eyelashes. The purpose of doing this is to minimize the damage to the eyelashes during the makeup process.

STEP 5: Apply eyelashes

First, look downward and try to expose the roots of your eyelashes. Then insert the eyelash brush into the roots of your eyelashes and hold it for two to three seconds before pulling it toward the tails of your eyelashes. Make small adjustments before the mascara dries until you are satisfied and make your eyelashes look thicker.

STEP 6: Emphasize the end of the eye

The method is to focus on brushing the eyelashes at the end of the eye before the mascara dries. Apply it in a radial manner. The purpose of emphasizing the eyelashes at the end of the eye is to make the eyes look bigger.

STEP 7: Comb your eyelashes

This is easy, just use an eyelash comb to make each eyelash distinct.

STEP 8: Brush the lower eyelashes

Be careful when brushing your lower eyelashes. Try to be gentle with your hands. The trick is to gently shake and push the eyelash brush outwards to create long and thick lower eyelashes. If you have no experience in brushing your eyelashes, you might as well buy a cotton swab or cotton pad to cover the brush, so that you can avoid mistakes.
