MAKEUP TIP OF THE WEEK : Get your mascara application just right. Use a lash curler to open up eyes more. If you have big eyes, use fat wands to apply. If not aim for a finer applicator. Use a lash primer to help condition, protect and add extra volume and length to lashes. Start your sweep at the base of the lash, tapering off application towards the end. Layer up for more drama. Use a waterproof brand if it looks like rain. Never pump a wand in the tube as it dries out the mascara.
