Prevent Clumps

We know - obvious, right?

Not so much. How typical is it to push your mascara wand in and out of the bottle, trying to load up the brush? Or, similarly, wiggle it inside the tube to gather mascara onto the wand?

Not so much. How typical is it to push your mascara wand in and out of the bottle, trying to load up the brush?

Or, similarly, wiggle it inside the tube to gather mascara onto the wand?

When you do this, you add air to the tube, thus drying out your mascara. Think of it like blowing over wet paint - the additional air dries out the color.

The end result: clumpy, messy mascara. And that's not the goal. Instead, pull the mascara wand out of the tube. Scrape the additional mascara off using the side or a tissue so that your brush is not overloaded.

Pick the proper mascara

As we age, our lashes tend to appear thinner. The once-long lashes now feel broken and brittle. It's not in your head - this is a fact many of us are facing.

The immediate thought may be, "Buy lengthening mascara." Think again!

Reach for a volumizing mascara like Vibriance Volumizing Mascara. It defines without weighing down the ends of our lashes.

It uses a new "tubing" technology that wraps around each individual lash for maximum fullness.

Tip: wiggle the brush on your lashes as you apply your mascara. You give your lashes a more even coat.

Consider a backwards application

Most of us start at the base of our lashes and up the lash line. Try starting backward!

Looking down your nose, start at the tips of your lashes.

Looking down your nose, start at the tips of your lashes. Add some mascara. Then move the brush toward the middle of your lashes, and apply the mascara.

Finally, add mascara to the base of your lashes. Apply a final coat from the base to the top, allowing the brush to separate the lashes. This method may not work for you, but some Positive Agers swear by its results!

Use the whole brush

Did you know the tip of the brush works as an excellent applicator for the corner lashes?

We often try to manipulate our angle to make the middle of the wand hit our corner lashes. Instead of that, use the tip of the brush.

We often try to manipulate our angle to make the middle of the wand hit our corner lashes. Instead of that, use the tip of the brush.

Because it is a smaller area, we can control it to push up your corner lashes, giving both lift and volume.

Don’t overdo the bottom

The last thing we want is to let our mascara give our eyes the impression of exhaustion by highlighting dark circles.

Overpowering your bottom lashes risks this illusion.

If you over-mascara your bottom lashes, you may deliver a droopy impression.

Yet, we know some of us also want to give the bottom lashes love. Instead of swiping mascara on your lashes, dab it on. Keep it minimal for an awake look.

Positive Aging is about doing it your way!

Storing your Mascara

If your mascara is less the showstopper than it once was, ask yourself how long you have had your bottle.

Mascara is good for six months if stored properly. Keep it away from extreme moisture and heat for longer-lasting use.

Mascara is good for six months if stored properly. Keep it away from extreme moisture and heat for longer-lasting use.

So, as much as that quick application in the car is helpful, ensure you don't leave your tube sitting in the hot car.

Finally, store your bottle upright versus laying flat in the drawer, where the formula will flatten out and dry faster.
