Backstage Beauty: Mascara Made Easy

Feb 11, 2008 @ 1:05pm

Gabriella Want perfect lashes, like Gabriella?


We've finally figured it out, thanks to Charlotte Tilbury and the other M.A.C artists backstage at the Tents:

They told us that the best way to avoid clumps is this:

Take a tissue or a piece of toilet paper, and gently wrap it around your mascara wand.

Pull the mascara wand through it with a little bit of tension in your fingers.

The excess black gunk will ooze off the wand, and then when you apply the mascara to your lashes, it'll go on smoother and with no clumps.

We've tried this every day for a week and it hasn't failed yet, so go to it!

Also: Weirdly, our new favorite mascara is the one from Estee Lauder's Beauty Bank. You can get it at Duane Reade, or steal it from the Charlotte Ronson store if they've got any samples left.

I've heard of dabbing the tip of the wand onto a paper towel or something to get rid of the extra gunk there, but I haven't heard this one.

Wouldn't lint get on the wand? Especially with a tissue. Although, I suppose the tissue only touches the mascara that wipes off, so maybe not.

This is funny. How is it that this isn't common makeup knowledge?
