What is an effective way to put mascara on?

Question

my mom put on mascara for me once. But i kept blinking and closing my eyes because i'm afraid of it poking my eye. Is there any way to put mascara on so you won't be afraid of poking your eyes?

Answer 1

hahahah. i do that too but only when someone else is putting it on me. just try it yourself and lean your head back with your mirror there and start at your roots and wiggle it up to your roots (:

Answer 2

you put it parrallel to your face and place the brush under your lashes and blink slowly...  

Answer 3

Slowly in front of a mirror.

Answer 4

start at the bottom of the lash line and wiggle the brush all the way, u can do it eyes open or closed

Answer 5

If you want your eyes to look more awake, try using an eye lash curler. Curl three times, one at the roots, one in the middle, and one at the tips. But do this before you put mascara on or your lashes may come away with the curler.

Using a curler will also make your lashes rise away from your eye a little bit and you'll have less of a chance with poking yourself. Angle your head away from the mirror and open your mouth. =] its easier

I think that the best way to put mascara on is to wipe the brush on the inner rims of the mascara container so that it doesnt clump on your lashes. Then, start at the roots of your eyelashes and wiggle the wand up and over the lash. Do this twice per eye and then hold the wand vertically and apply the mascara vertically. This will make your lashes look thicker and longer.

Answer 6

You will just have to get used to the feeling but doing it slowly and gently will help a lot. I take the wand and start from the outer corner and work my way in. When you place the mascara on the base of the lashes, wiggle it back and forth and then use a smooth sweeping motion up to the ends. This method will make them fullest.
