When it comes to mascara, we all crave the ideal length, volume, and definition. While ideal lashes are often described as thick, voluptuous, and exceptional, clumping, cockroach-like, and stuck together lashes are undesirable. Fortunately, with a few tips, tricks, and fixes, the lashes of your dreams can become a reality!
Tip #1: Start with the basics
To achieve beautiful, flowing lashes, you first need to ensure your mascara is completely removed every time you take your makeup off. Start by using a makeup remover, such as our Micellar Water Lash Wash, to ensure the eye area is free of any remaining dirt, makeup, oil, and sebum. This provides the perfect base for applying mascara, avoiding clumping.
Tip #2: Hydrate and Strengthen
Keep your lashes strong and healthy with our AquaBlur® Hydrating Eye Gel & Primer. This multi-use eye gel nourishes, soothes, and moisturizes the eye area while conditioning and strengthening your lashes and brows. It provides the perfect base for mascara and helps it last all day.
Tip #3: Use a Lash Primer
Lash primers are perfect for applying before mascara to create definition and add volume. The Volumizing Primer in our Double-Ended Volume Set helps define lashes, add volume and length, and prep them for any mascara application.
Tip #4: Use the right amount
Two coats of mascara are generally enough to define your lashes. More than one coat can easily cause lashes to clump and look like cockroach legs. The Volumizing Mascara in our Double-Ended Volume Set is easy to apply, prevents clumping, and provides the nutrients your lashes need to grow.
Tip #5: Reduce the frequency of product intake
Don't pull the mascara out of your eyelash brush repeatedly; this action will introduce air into the product, causing it to dry faster and create clumping. Instead, twist or wiggle the brush as you pull it out to ensure an even and proper amount of mascara is applied.
Tip #6: Pay attention to product expiration dates
Mascara typically has a shelf life of around three months, or as indicated on the packaging, the expiration date starts from the first time you open it. If that old bottle of mascara has been sitting in your makeup bag for more than a few months, throw it away!
Tip #7: Add Eyelash Serum to Your Routine
Eyelash serums are perfect for those who want to give their lashes everything they need to grow and look more voluptuous. RevitaLash® Advanced Eyelash Repair and Enhancement Serum contains essential vitamins and nutrients like biotin, peptides, and green tea extract to keep lashes strong and flexible, making it ideal for those seeking beautiful, defined lashes.
