Do It At Eleventh Hour : As you hail it as the most important part of your makeup, you should do it at last. Doing so will help you to choose the most suitable color and a matching length or width for the eyelashes.

Choose The Size : It up to you to a give definite shape to your eyelashes. A formula having to thicken the eyelashes is completely different from the formula with the ability to make the eyelashes look longer.

Water, Water Everywhere : Occasionally, it happens that you end up facing rain or sometimes you deliberately jump in to the swimming pool with mascara. If you want to save your mascara from fading away, you can think about applying waterproof eye mascara.

Modern or Conventional : Like any other thing , choosing the right color of your mascara is too important for your over all appearance. It also depends upon your personal likes and dislikes and the places you are supposed to be at after applying mascara.

For a formal occasion, it is best to use black and brown mascara. However, you can have a series of colorful mascaras, such as purple, aqua, blue etc., ultimately suitable for casual get-togethers.

Beyond Colors : If you want no colors then you can use clear mascara. It gives you desirable amount of thickness or length with proper shine.

Clean it Up : Before you actually start applying the mascara, clean the eyelashes carefully. It is not a big deal. Just give some splashes of water on your eyes.

Curl It Up : Make a round of an eyelash curler all through your eyelashes. Take special care of upper lashes.

Bottom to Top : Now move the eyelashes brush slowly from the roots to the tips of the eyelashes carefully. Sometimes the mascara tends to be sticky. Thus to keep the eyelashes separated from each other, it is advisable to give gentle strokes upwardly on your lashes.

Repeat : It is not possible to get the desired effect with a single coat. So repeat the process after the first coat goes completely dry.

Remove the Mess : Once the second coat is over, you may find some extra mascara on the eyelashes marring the effect. So using a tissue blot the eyelashes.

Final Separation : Once the blotting is over, separate all lashes from each other using an eyelash comb.
