To ensure you get the full benefits of your mascara texture, moisture and eyelash nourishment , always be sure to twist the product shut completely so that no air gets in. If it's beginning to feel a little dry, try reviving it with a drop of baby oil. TIP : If your mascara smells off, it most likely is off.
Time to throw that baby out and invest in a new tube—you can thank us later. Not all mascaras are created equal. While there are many formulas on the market, a truly amazing mascara is the result of its ingredients, brush and wiper. So, what should you be looking for? Start by analysing mascara ingredients and seek out formulas that work to protect and enhance your natural lashes.
The new Clarins Wonder Perfect 4D mascara combines intense carbon-black mineral pigments with filmogenic rose wax for long-wearing colour and hold—the wax helps to coat and curve lashes. The brand's exclusive Lash Boosting Complex of sphingony and panthenol protects lashes and promotes visibly thicker, longer-looking lashes even after you've removed your mascara.
A win for lashes in both appearance and health. Makeup brands are forever teasing new mascara brushes branded with high-tech naming conventions that promise plumper-than-ever-before lashes.
In reality, most mascara brushes fall into one of three categories: the traditional, twisted-wire styles great for volume , the plastic spike brushes best for thin, lengthier lashes and the newer hybrid brush which aims to combine length, volume and curve.
Clarins' innovative precision brush allows for the perfect balance of volume and definition so no lash goes unnoticed. Often overlooked, the wiper is a piece of flexible plastic that sits inside the opening of the mascara tube. It controls the amount of product that is left on the brush after it's removed from the tube and therefore, how much is applied to the lash: a large wiper allows for less product and a small wiper emits more.
While there's no 'good' or 'bad' wiper style, investing in a mascara with a poorly designed wiper will often end in mascara on your hands after application. Pumping your wand is a solid no-no. Doing this will only push air and bacteria back into the tube and dry out the product faster.
Dried out mascara, of course, means gross, clumpy lashes. Correction: You can start breaking this habit by pulling the wand up and gently twirling it. This way, you will evenly distribute the product on the wand before you apply it. Coating your eyelashes and then curling them may seem right, but it does more harm than good.
Correction: Use an eyelash curler on clean mascara-free lashes, then finish your freshly curled lashes with your favorite mascara. Photo credit: style over net. Correction: Instead of a single upwards sweep, you need to wiggle the wand from side to side from the base of your lashes, then work your way up.
This way, you can make your lashes look longer and thicker without all the clumps. Photo credit: Getty Images. Correction: The next time you finish your lashes with your favorite mascara limit it to about three-to-four coats.

Mascara is an easy way to transform your eyes from tired to bright and awake in a pinch, simply by lengthening and thickening your lashes — if you use it correctly, at least.
Unfortunately, tons of people make a big mistake when applying their mascara: Pumping the applicator wand in and out of the tube. While many beauty lovers believe pumping the wand adds more mascara to it, or that it helps keep the right amount of product on the brush, in reality, this error actually makes your mascara work less effectively. As we said, pumping in and air out like this only spells trouble for your eyelashes and the mascara itself.
Twist your mascara brush within the tube, then remove from tube rather than wiping it all over the edge and apply to your eyelashes.
