The ultimate eyelashes hacks

Firstly thankyou to all people the who gave feedback on my previous post! Surprisingly it was all positive! So yet here I am again with another hack and tip post. For me I want my lashes as black as my soul and as long as the list of people I hate. So even though life cannot be perfect but your lashes can!


                                                                                #1:

If you have thin or short lashes you can mix equal parts coconut oil, castor oil, tea tree oil and aloe vera gel in a clean bottle and with a help of a mascara wandapply it to your lash every night before you go to sleep. As I am prone to trying stupid things I trimmed my lashes once and they grew out really long and thick! well I became greedy and did it again this time even trimming it more. They didn't grow back. So I tried this remedy and voila!It does wonders and you can see results in a week. This also works for eyebrows.

                                                                              #2: 

If you don't have an automatic heat lash curler you can make your own by putting your normal lash curler infront of a hair dryer for about 15-30 seconds on a medium blow. This will give you a more enhanced and a longer lasting effect than just using the curler normally.

#3:

 If you are a mascara hoarder you might have these or atleast the wands. you can mix two to get the effect you want: 

1) to thicken plus seperate

2) to curl and hold

3) to wing out and intensify 

4) Magnify and top coat

#4:

Most of the time mascaras dry out quickly even before they have been half used. 

for a quick fix and to make  your mascara last 3 times longer just add a few drops of baby oil or more preferably any saline or eye solution and put the mascara in a cup of luke warm water.

                                                                                #5:

 when applying mascara, instead of pumping twist and twirl the wand inside the bottle as it will prevent it from clumping and have a an easier application.

                                                                           #6:

If you are not a big fan of false lashes you can use baby powder or cotton balls to make your lashes appear more fuller. add some cotton balls by rubbing a spoolie on the cotton ball and then combing it to you eye lash. Or patting baby powder with a small makeup brush after every layer.

Its ( almost) every girls dream to have her liner so sharp it could cut a B**ch,

as you all know I am no makeup , I am just like the rest of the 70 percent who have yet to master eyeliner skills and still cry through the whole process. but in these few years of failed attempts I have somewhat found a way to make the process less excruciating and save you from looking like a racoon.

So if you are a beginner here are some hacks and tips to get you started:

                                                                                 #1:

 

first things first as a beginner you will make tons of mistakes and get frustrated. this will lead to roughly rubbing off your liner from your eyes ( guilty). Don't. Not only will this make your eyes itchy and uncomfortable it can also lead to early eye wrinkles. Be as gentle as you can when removing eyeliner even makeup from under your eyes as well as the outer corners. You will see under eye wrinkles are a common problem in many makeup gurus especially on youtube. Invest in soft and organic makeup remover wipes or even better makeup swabs. They will help you in just targeting the area you missed as well as that be gentle on your eyes.

                                                    #2: 

Use a makeup tape for a sharp wing or line. If you are using a normal tape make sure to make it less tacky by sticking the tape on your hand and pulling it 2-3 times so its not harsh on the skins and doesnt remove any natural oils. You can also use any object that has a sharp straight line like cards or knifes....don't do that. 

#3:

Diffrent types of product give diffrent results. I mostly see and hear people saying that beginners should start with pencil liners and then move to liquid or cake liners. I completely disagree with that as I used to be scared of cake liners but when I tried it I was completely hooked! I personally think they are more easy to apply. So don't be afraid to try diffrent applicators and see which one suits you best!

#4:

It can get frustrating to correct your liner again and again and our hand literally dies in the process.

By resting your elbow on a flat surface and putting your pinky on your cheek not only will your hand only have support but it will give you a much more stable hand thus a much better and on fleek application with even less mess ups.

#5: 

If you just cant ever seem to get a straight line without even a wing I got you girl. 

drawing dots or even dashes along the upper eyelid will help you as a guide to a straight line.

#6:

NEVER EVER pull the side of your skin when applying eyeliner. It will make applying easier but

it doesnt give a straight line and there are more chances of mess ups.

#7: 

If you think your eyeliner looks a bit incomplete or you want something a bit more intense 

try using a pencil liner or kohl inside your upper lash line.

#8:

if you still cannot make a straight line try using the method above 

to get a light line as your guide. this only works with a pencil liner.

#9: 

And when all else fails try the eyeliner stencil and if you manage to mess

that up then you should just reconsider your whole existence.
