Eyes are the most expressive feature of your face.
A kajal and mascara are two basic products
which can amp up your eye makeup game and I’m quite sure every woman owns these.
Today, I’m going to share some of my best kept tips and tricks
about these two makeup staples! So, let’s begin!
I always look for kajal's that are smudge-proof,
waterproof & long lasting but the one's that smudge easily
can be used to create smokey eye looks.
Warm it up on your hands, so that it glides on smoothly
On days when I like to keep it natural
and go easy on my makeup, I use a kajal on my lower and upper water line
to add some definition to my eyes.
When I don't have my liquid or gel liner around, I just use my Maybelline Colossal Super Black Kajal!
I make these small dots or dashes, closest to my lash line
and blend them all together, with an angled eyeliner brush.
When I’m running out of eyeshadows, I mix & match my black and coloured
kajal's to create stunning looks on-the-go.
A great tip to remember, is to powder your lids
before applying kajal, so that it stays in place all day long.
If you have dark circles or under eye bags & you're planning to skip on your concealer
then what you can do is opt for coloured Kajal
as it helps to brighten your under eyes and takes the attention away from your dark circles.
Mascara is one of my favourite makeup product & it's completely indispensable.
So even on my on no make-up days, I still wear a little bit of mascara
It helps to open up my eyes & gives me a fresher look instantly.
Mascara's come with different wands and it's very important to choose the right one
for your lashes & the look your going for.
Curved mascara wands are ideal for straight or droopy lashes, as it gives them that much needed lift.
The Maybelline Hyper Curl is amazing for people who are looking for some volume & curl.
Also if you don't own an eyelash curler, curved mascara wands are ideal, as it helps to curl your lashes outwards.
Straight mascara wands give natural-looking length and volume and are perfect for daily wear.
It’s not to over the top, but it gives you dreamy lashes
and who doesn't want that.
Tapered mascara wands are great if you're a bit of a perfectionist, when it comes to mascara
as you can spend as long as you want applying and arranging each individual lash!
So the first step of your mascara application, should ideally be to curl your lashes
to avoid any clumps & to get a wide - eyed look.
The wand of a new mascara has a lot of product build-up on it
which can make your eye lashes look clumpy.
So what you could do is take the excess of with a tissue paper.
Look down into a mirror while applying mascara to avoid poking your eye
or smearing your lids with excess product.
A lot of the times we face the problem of our lashes falling off, in the process of taking out your mascara
To avoid this soak a cotton swab in makeup remover
and just gently press it over your eyes for about a minute, before wiping it off.
This will save your lashes from falling.
So while applying your mascara, don't wiggle the brush from side to side
only wiggle into roots & then pull it up straight for an even root to tip coverage,
length, separation and a clump-free finish.
DON'T load up too much mascara on to your lash tips, this could just make them look really heavy
and it will result in the dreaded droop!
DON’T throw your mascara wands after your mascara gets over.
Wait! Instead clean them and use them to groom your brows.
I hope these tips help you become a pro at using Kajal & Mascara in different ways.
