A false-lash effect with mascara depends mainly on curl, brush choice and thin, well-placed coats. There is no need to pile on a large amount of product: that weighs lashes down and encourages clumping.
1. Curl lashes before mascara
Use a lash curler on clean, dry lashes before applying mascara. Press gently for a few seconds without pulling. A good curl immediately opens up the eye area.
2. Remove excess product from the brush
If the brush is overloaded, lightly wipe the excess on the tube. It is better to build volume gradually than to apply one thick coat immediately.
3. Work the roots with a zigzag motion
Place the brush as close to the roots as possible without touching the eye, make a small zigzag movement, then sweep toward the tips. This loads the base while keeping the ends lighter.
4. Layer two thin coats
For more intensity, add a second coat before the first is completely dry. Focus on the outer lashes for a more elongated effect. Multiple thick coats quickly increase clumping.
5. Separate lashes if needed
If a few lashes stick together, use a clean spoolie to separate them gently before the mascara is completely dry.
