A little trick I use is use to save the wand from my mascara after it's done and before I throw it out. I just rinse it off and then I have a reusable plastic spoolie that has bristles that I like! :)

I like the way that you teach. You don't come off snobby. I also like that you address real issues. The best thing about this video is that you are not trying to push really high prices mascaras. Thank you for recommending quality mascaras that are affordable. I have purchased so many different mascaras from $10 to $60 and none of them provided the qualities that I wanted. Also, I appreciate you educating us on the different types of wands and other tools. I have always struggled with getting mascaras on my eyelids. That was an awesome tip. Finally, they eye drop/contact solution hack: AMAZING!! I never knew that. Thank you SO MUCH!

If you do something like this again could you put on the mascara before the eyeliner. The thick black line blocked seeing a portion of your eyelashes. THX!!

I always use a drop or two of something in my older mascaras. No one else uses them but me so to get an extra few weeks or a month out of a tube is a great hack. Lately I've been using a couple of drops of my generic Latisse. I figure you're applying the mascara to the base of your lashes, may as well get the benefits of the Latisse!! I never thought about using the one type of wand first then the natural one. I'll be giving this a shot tomorrow morning before work - thanks!!

thank you for teaching us really useful hacks.blinking definitely makes such a difference.I tried to do all the things you said and it worked so well, eventhough I had to go through an additional step because I have straight lashes and I have to use eyelash curler before mascara. even the most curling and lifting formulas and wands can't do much lifting if I don't use a curler. and using a curler can rub off the concealer and eyeshadow(I also powder and then use a base eyeshadow to set my concealer.but still,my curler makes my concealer and eyeshadow transfer and ruins my liner).so now I'm a bit undecided about when to use my curler. but anyway I'm definitely going to use blinking method from now on

@cjaneg97 3 жыл бұрын

Eyeshadow primer works great to prevent mascara from running or transferring due to oily eyelids. Also you can keep and clean off an old mascara wand (once your done with the mascara) instead of buying disposable wands or wasting product. This also comes in handy when; you like the shape of a mascaras wand but don't like the formula, or the mascara is expensive and you don't want to repurchase, or you have a mascara that you don't love but don't want to waste. What makes a good mascara is 50% wand and 50% formula, but sometimes they don't come in the same mascara.

@LunarEleven 10 ай бұрын

Absolutely. The straight, thin ones work for tiny edge lashes and bottom lashes but not the rest (where fuller, curved wands are better) so I use my spare regularly. Plus mascara gets "old" fast. It dries out but also gets contaminated easily because of the moisture. I hate throwing it all away though!
