Firstly, the longer your lashes are to start with, the more you have to work with. A good extra step in your night time routine is to coat your lashes with castor oil using a clean mascara wand. This will promote eyelash growth in your sleep.
Secondly, warm up your mascara before application for a more streamlined application with less clumps. Whether that be by rubbing it in your hands or placing it in your bra while you do your base, you WILL see the difference in your lashes.
Also make sure there is no excess mascara from the previous day as this will promote clumps which we do not want!!!
One final tip is curl your lashes before applying a waterproof mascara. It must be waterproof to hold the shape of the curl. (Imagine using water on straightened hair, you would undo the effects right?).
Hope you're all one step closer to wispy, voluminous lashes!
