Allow eye care to absorb
Wait until the eye area and lashes feel dry before applying mascara. This makes it easier to achieve an even coating.

How to Apply Mascara – Defined, Fuller-Looking Lashes
Mascara adds definition to your lashes and brings attention to your eyes. The amount you use is only part of the technique: applying it carefully from roots to tips helps you create anything from a natural finish to a more dramatic look.
Beautiful. You.
The essential technique
Separate first, then build intensity
For beautifully defined lashes, aim to keep each lash visible from root to tip. Start with one light coat of mascara, then add a second coat only where you want a fuller effect.
Remember: A small amount is easier to distribute evenly. Applying too much mascara at once can cause lashes to clump together.
Before you begin
Three simple steps for a neat application
Prepare the curl
If you use eyelash curlers, use them gently before applying mascara. Avoid curling lashes once mascara has been applied.
Use just enough product
Wipe visible excess from the wand against the edge of the tube. Leave enough on the brush for one fine first coat.
Step by step
How to Apply Mascara Evenly
Work on one eye at a time and check the result before adding more product.
Start at the roots
Place the wand carefully at the base of the upper lashes, avoiding direct contact with the eye.
Brush through to the tips
Draw the wand slowly upwards through the lashes. A slight side-to-side movement at the roots can help catch individual lashes.
Define the outer lashes
Angle the wand gently outwards towards the outer corners to enhance the appearance of length and definition.
Check the finish
Look straight ahead in the mirror. Add another light coat only where you would like more intensity.
For a natural look:
One carefully applied coat is often enough. If lashes stick together, separate them gently with a clean lash comb.

How Can You Change the Effect of Mascara?
One light coat
Spread mascara evenly and separate the lashes if needed. This enhances your eyes without making the finish look heavy.
Add a little more
Apply a second thin coat while the first is still workable. Focus on the areas where you want greater definition.
Keep it subtle
For the lower lashes, use very little product and the tip of the wand. A light touch is usually all you need.
Common mistakes
How to Keep Lashes Neatly Defined
Too much product on the wand
Excess mascara can collect on individual lashes. Begin with a small amount and build up gradually if needed.
Repeatedly brushing over dry mascara
Applying more mascara over layers that have already dried can make lashes stick together. Check the result after each coat.
Pumping the mascara wand
Avoid repeatedly moving the wand up and down inside the tube. Instead, turn it gently to collect more product.
In the evening
Remove Mascara Gently
Remove mascara thoroughly before bed without pulling at your lashes or rubbing the delicate eye area. Choose a cleanser suitable for eye make-up and follow the product instructions when removing waterproof mascara.
