The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) adds that mascara is occasionally used on the eyebrows as well. #makeuptips #howto #mascara

When applying mascara
1) Curl your lashes properly with a good full eyelash curler like MAC.


















2)Close your eyes and apply mascara from roots to tips



3)Now open your eyes and once again apply mascara from roots to tips











4)Do the same for lower lashes you can use clinique bottom lash mascara for this.
















5)In case of clumps you can smooth them out by combing through your lashes with a mascara comb










6)Apply another coat of mascara.



Tip-The number of coats you apply depends on how much volume you want to create i usually go upto 3coats and as they say there is no such thing as too much mascara.


The mascara i recommend would be:-
1)Mac zoom lash for a more natural look.









2) Mac Haute & Naughty this has 2brushes one for length and the other for volume you can use both at once to give you those oh so long and dense lashes.
