9 Easy Mascara Hacks for Amazing Lashes
Get carded.
Lashes look their fattest when the mascara goes all the way down to the roots. The trouble is, it’s hard to get it there without getting black gunk all over your lids. To combat this, take a business card and hold it at the base of your lashes, then swipe on mascara. The excess will end up on the card, not on you.
Baby your lashes.
Just like the hair on your head, your lashes need to be conditioned. To do this, you can take the time to swipe on a special lash gel every night, or you can multitask by using a mascara with conditioning agents already built in.
Bulk up your base.

Revive old mascara.
To avoid eye infections (and dry, hard-to-use mascara), we highly recommend replacing your tube every three months. If your mascara gets gunky before that time though, blast the outside of the tube with a blow dryer for 10 seconds to temporarily thin it out and make it easier to apply.
Go vertical.
After swiping on your mascara normally, try holding your wand vertically and touching the tip of the brush to each individual lash. This takes just seconds but adds tons of extra length.
Curl without a curler.
If you don’t have an eyelash curler handy, try pressing a spoon against your eyes for a few seconds before applying mascara. The curvature of the spoon will cause lashes to gently bend.
Heart-shaped, lash-hugging fibers lock onto lashes and intertwine to provide instant length and weightless volume in just one application. The Love Complex™ Formula helps to both strengthen and condition your lashes for a flawless flutter
Stop clumps before they start.
After pulling your wand from the tube, take a clean tissue and wipe off any big globs of product. Removing the excess before you start swiping means it won’t end up on your lashes!
Powder your way to bolder lashes.
Apply one coat of mascara, then brush translucent face powder (yes, really!) on top. Finish with another coat of mascara to lock it in. The powder adds heft and length. It’s an old makeup artist trick—and it totally works!

Customize your lash look.
The eyeshadow color you choose can make a big difference in how your lashes look. With lighter shades, your lashes will be visible from root to tip, so they’ll automatically look longer. If you’d like them to look thicker, use a darker eyeshadow along the lash line. This tricks the eye into thinking your lashes are thicker than they really are. (Sneaky, right?) To experiment on your own, choose a kit packed with multiple light and dark shades like
