This is my first Makeup Monday post and it's going to be about lashes. Lashes are a signature look in makeup and if you don't use makeup, my Makeup Monday posts will help you out with that and give you tips and advice.
Curling Lashes
Before applying mascara or doing anything to your lashes, you want to curl them with an eyelash curler.
These are really easy to find and you can buy them for under $7 at Target, Walmart, Walgreens, or CVS, pretty much any drugstore.
To use an eyelash curler you want to open your eye and position your eyelashes in between the two clamps. Hold it there for 10 seconds and then release. This is hard to explain in words but I'm pretty sure that the curler you buy will have instructions for use or you can find it on YouTube.
Mascara
There are tons of types of mascaras, voluminous, lengthening, defining, curling, and more. The brush is also different in these types. I will probably do a post on these types of mascaras.
Anyways, you can buy mascara at any drugstore or makeup shop. To apply it you want to dip the brush into the bottle until it is completely coated. Open your eye and then brush the mascara on your lashes starting from the roots to the end. Shift it left to right so you can get them all coated. Do the same on your lower lashes.
Fake Lashes
This is optional but if you want to choose fake lashes, then go ahead. I know that ELF has some really nice ones for a reasonable price.
To apply the lashes, squeeze a bit of the eyelash glue that usually comes with the lashes onto the curved part of the lashes. Smooth out the glue and then apply it as close as you can to the roots of your eyelashes but not on the lid. Adjust them until they fit right and look appropriate. Do the other eye and then add mascara.
