You mistype mascara from the tube, and there are lumps on the eyelashes

You use a curler after (!) applying mascara
This is a gross mistake: not only will you negate all the efforts to apply mascara, but you can also damage your eyelashes. Curler can stick to them due to mascara and tear or break.

First, curl the eyelashes on one eye and quickly apply mascara to them, and only then proceed to the second eye. So the hairs do not have time to straighten, and the mascara will fix them in the right position for a long time. Also, at the same time, the bend of the eyelashes will be smoother, and if you already wind it on mascara, you will get a sharp hall.

Thick pile - for thick eyelashes! Separates hairs to create length. Solid bristles will suit those who have soft eyelashes. A brush with a curve lifts the hairs and twists easily, making the so-called "doll" look.

You are using a brush that is too big
Makeup artist Yuri Stolyarov says that many girls choose mascaras with very large brushes, hoping to achieve maximum volume with their help. “As a make-up artist, I can say that such brushes are only suitable for those who have long eyelashes - in all other cases it will be just difficult to get close to the eyelashes in the corners of the eyes, and in general you will not be able to paint over as well as with a small brush.”

To avoid allergic reactions to substances that have expired, cosmetologist Artem Prokofiev recommends changing mascara every 4-6 months. And also store it in the right place: not on the dressing table where the sun's rays fall, not on the windowsill, where it's too hot because of the radiator, but in a dry, cool and dark place. Artem clarifies that waterproof and green mascara are considered the most highly allergenic - it is better to use them as a last resort.

The shape of the brush does not suit your eyelashes
There are about a hundred forms of mascara brushes. They differ in the length of the villi, the material of manufacture, weaving. A plastic brush with a sparse pile allows you to achieve volume, but it does not know how to separate the hairs. To do this, use silicone brushes. Spiral villi - ideal for owners of naughty eyelashes. The short pile on the brush goes well with short cilia: it perfectly paints the bottom row and the hairs in the corners of the eyes.

You may be drawing false conclusions about your mascara by writing it off. Often the product may not be suitable due to the wrong application technique or the brush that is not suitable for you personally. Experts explain why you shouldn't use expired mascara, who needs a brush that's too big, and why you need to separate your lashes.

Your mascara is good, it just expired
There is such an unspoken statistic: about 40% of women use mascara occasionally or buy several at once, and therefore expired tubes can be in a cosmetic bag for years.

To get the required amount of mascara on the brush, you need to make circular movements - start from the bottom of the tube and lift the applicator up in a spiral. This will help to avoid lumps, but at the same time you will pick up mascara from all walls evenly.

Most tubes have a stopper to keep you from taking on too much. But sometimes too liquid formulas leave lumps on the brush, which leads to gluing of eyelashes and, again, the appearance of "spider legs" on them. The more mascara, the greater the risk of shedding, so it is better to get rid of excess in advance. Gently wipe the mascara brush with a dry paper towel and apply the first layer - the eyelashes will look natural.
