Mascara is one of my favorite products. I definitely have my favorite go-to wands, but I decided to try Maybelline’s Lash Stiletto. I love Maybelline’s foundations so trying their mascara was a natural next step. I’ll admit that I’ve been let down with drug store mascara’s before, which is why I head to the mall when I need a fresh tube. My goal with mascara is to add drama through volume. Lash Stiletto adds drama with length. Lash Stiletto definitely delivered on it’s promise. After just one coat, my lashes were a mile long. For me that was a different look, but you can’t beat it for $14.99. Besides, having tools in your makeup bag to create different looks is what it is all about. I’ll definitely give their volumizing mascara a try, but for now Stiletto Lash has earned a place on my shelf.
Now if you’ve ever wondered how they create those long, luscious, enviable lashes on models for mascara commercials, there’s a secret-falsies. A lot of times the models are wearing false lashes, which doesn’t necessarily mean that they aren’t wearing mascara, just that they’ve had a head start on lash fabulosity. However, if you’re not ready for glue and choosing lash styles, here’s a way to give your eyes a little added pop.
Do’s, Don’t’s and Tips!
First off, you want to place the mascara wand at the base of your lash line and work your way to the edge of your lashes.
As you extend the wand through your lashes, make sure to wiggle the wand a bit, which will thicken and lengthen as you go.
Use more than one coat of mascara. Once you complete your second eye, repeat the process again on the first eye. Don’t worry about looking like a cheap prom queen, old doll baby or evangelist wife-that is a different look altogether. If you see you’re recreating that effect, you’ve done enough.
Beauty Tip of the day!
Never share mascara wands with anyone. That’s a sure way to spread germs and nasty infections.
Always remove mascara before bedtime. It’s tempting to remove foundation and eye shadow and not put in the work to remove mascara, but resist it. Take it all off!
