What to Look for in a Mascara

When shopping for a mascara, consider factors such as the wand shape, formula type, and desired effects like volume, length, or curl.

Start at the base of your lashes, wiggle the wand back and forth, and work your way to the tips for optimal coverage and definition.

How to Prevent Mascara from Flaking or Smudging

Comb through your lashes before applying mascara, and consider a final coat of waterproof mascara for long-lasting wear.
