Hey y’all, so I’m gonna talk to you today about something I’m passionate about: mascara! If you’re like me and you’re slayin’ the beauty game, then you know that it ain’t complete without a good ol’ coat of mascara. But when it comes to your bottom lashes, not everyone knows how to work with ’em. So I’m here to give you my two cents on the do’s and don’ts of wearing mascara on the bottom!
Pros of Wearing Mascara on Bottom Lashes
If you want to take your eye look up a notch, nothing does the trick better than a swipe of mascara on bottom lashes! It adds instant definition, and can immediately elevate any look. Plus, let’s face it – bolder, brighter eyes make you feel confident, don’t they?
One way to instantly have more defined eyes without mascara is to use an eyelash curler. It gives you that wow factor, and keeps your eyes looking brighter and wider. However, if you really want to amp up your lash game, adding mascara to your bottom lashes can be the perfect finishing touch. Whether you’re going for a sultry smoky eye or a more natural look, mascara on both your top and bottom lashes will help bring the whole look together.
Cons of Wearing Mascara on Bottom Lashes
If you’re considering rockin’ mascara on your bottom lashes, there are a few things ya gotta watch out for. One thing’s for sure: Too much makeup on the lower lid can make you look like a clown – and not the cool kind.
First and foremost, if ya pile on the mascara, it can look totally unnatural. That’s why many makeup artists recommend layering it on lightly. If ya coat it with one or two (or three!) coats, your eyes might end up looking like spiders crawled all over ’em. Ain’t nobody got time for that!
Plus, if you’re puttin’ on mascara and don’t do it right, it runs the risk of clumping and smudging. When it comes to that bottom lid, this can be especially tricky because it’s often wetter than the top. Don’t worry though — just work carefully and quickly.
Alternatives to Wearing Mascara on Bottom Lashes
If you’re looking for a way to make your bottom lashes look amazing without the hassle of putting on mascara, consider these alternatives. First up: an eyelash curler. It’s the perfect tool for helping your bottom lashes achieve that lifted, wide-eyed look. Just be sure not to hold it in place too long or pinch them too tightly as this can cause damage.
Another great option is a light coat of eyeshadow. Applying a subtle dusting of color over your lower lashes can create definition and make them appear fuller, longer and more awake. Finish with one or two coats of clear mascara to hold everything in place. Ta-da! You’ll be ready to go in just minutes.
There are plenty of other options too – including lash extensions, tinting, and using false lashes if you want something a bit more dramatic. Whatever route you decide to take, be sure to take your time and follow the directions carefully. Achieving beautiful, bold lashes doesn’t have to involve a ton of fuss.
Conclusion:
Whether you choose to wear mascara on your bottom lashes or not, it’s important to do what makes you feel your best. Everyone is different, so find what works for you! If the look isn’t quite right with mascara, try using an eyelash curler and applying a light coat of eyeshadow. And go easy – it’s easy to overdo it, yielding an unnatural look that’s not flattering. It’s like that ol’ adage ‘Less is more’, y’know? As long as you keep it subtle, you’re golden.
Mascara Application FAQ
Does putting mascara on bottom lashes make eyes look bigger?
In my experience, wearing mascara on bottom lashes can enhance the size of your eyes and give them a larger, more open look. While it’s not something I would do every day, it can be a great way to complete a special look for an event or gathering. When done correctly, it can be a beautiful way to draw attention to the eyes.
That said, it’s important to take extra care with the application of mascara on bottom lashes. Applying too much or too little can have a dramatic effect. Too little will give the illusion of small eyes, while too much can create a clumpy, spidery look. Additionally, I recommend using a waterproof mascara to ensure it doesn’t smudge or transfer to your eyelids.
It’s also important to invest in a quality mascara. Choose one that’s designed specifically for lower lashes, as they tend to be thinner and more delicate than upper lashes. Make sure to choose one that’s not too thick or clumpy, as this can create an unflattering look.
Finally, take your time when applying mascara to your bottom lashes. A steady hand and a good brush can make all the difference. Start from the center of the lash and work your way out, then use a small comb to comb through the lashes and remove any clumps. This will help create a softer, more natural look.
How do you make your bottom lashes look good with mascara?
Well, when it comes to bottom lashes, the answer isn’t as simple as yes or no. It really depends on the look you’re trying to achieve. If you want a bold, dramatic look, then yes, you should definitely rock some mascara on those bottom lashes. Just make sure to use a fine-toothed comb to separate them, and don’t go too heavy with the mascara.
On the other hand, if you’re trying for a more natural, subtle look, then you may want to consider skipping the mascara. It’s all about personal preference, so experiment and see what looks best for you. You can also opt for some lightly colored mascara, or opt for a lengthening mascara to give your bottom lashes a bit of definition.
Bottom line, mascara on your bottom lashes can look great, as long as you take the time to make sure it looks right. Don’t be afraid to use a light hand, and make sure to use a clean mascara wand to avoid clumping. If you do it right, you’ll be rocking gorgeous bottom lashes in no time!
