Mascara
Every girl knows the beauty benefits of mascara, but
learning the right technique can make all the difference
for lashes with flair.
Hold the brush at a horizontal angle if you want thick
lashes, or turn it vertically for a more natural finish. The
way you hold the brush when applying your mascara can
make a huge difference. Holding the brush horizontally
and wiggling it back and forth will give you voluminous
lashes, while holding it vertically and running the tip of the
brush along the length of your lashes will leave you with
longer, more natural look.
The best way to hold a curl is to apply a thicker coat
of mascara at the root of your lashes and a lighter ones
towards the end. Wiggle the brush back and forth at the
base of your lashes and then swipe to the tips.
If you have thin or light coloured lashes, coat both
sides by alternating between looking up and looking
down while applying mascara. That way, the hairs are
fully covered and appear much thicker.

Brows
There ain’t nothing cool about sparse, unkempt brows.
The best eyebrow products can mean the difference
between a polished look and a messy one. In order
to recover from the great over-plucking epidemic of
the 90s, we must rely on eyebrow products to ensure
natural, perfect eyebrows.
Whether pencil or powder, filling in your eyebrows
can be tricky and we’ve all Googled it more than once.
Whatever happens, don’t choose a shade that exactly
matches your brow hair; for example, blondes should
choose shades that match the base of the hair colour,
not their highlights, to prevent looking washed out.
When filling in your eyebrows the best place to start
is under the arch, then continue filling in outward toward
the tail (the important part of the brows that frame the
eyes!). Make sure if you are lowering your arch, the
shape should be angled and rectangular, not rounded.
Be careful because if the arch is too high, it can make
you look angry!
Once the arch and tail are filled in, move to the top
of the brow and to the inner edge. The line on the inner
edge should be perpendicular to the brow and line
up with the middle of the nostril. Viola! Thicker, more
symmetrical and completely natural-looking brows!
