Daytime Mascara
Daytime mascara
Ok kids, today we’re going to show you how to master the art of daytime mascara.
Yep, there’s a science to it. But never fear, THE FILE is here to take the guesswork (and clumps… and smudges… and drag queen vibes) out of it.
We like our makeup not to look like makeup, if that makes sense. You know that whole ‘I woke up like this thing’? That’s the aim of our game, so mascara that looks like mascara isn’t really our thing. But unless we’ve had our eyelashes tinted (which, let’s face it, happens like… never), going without isn’t really an option either. We need a little bit of somethin’ or else we look kind of… dead.
We learned a few tricks from a makeup artist on set and, seriously, ever since… our lash game = strong.
We’re talking jet black, longer, ultra-defined lashes – top and bottom – minus the whole creepy spider leg resemblance.

STOP. Before you even think about picking-up your mascara, curl your lashes. We recommend doing them a few times on each side for maximum eye-opening benefits.
Open your mascara, and scrape the brush back and forth along the top of the tube to remove excess. Clumps = a no go in the AM.
Then, tilt your head back slightly, and use the tip of the brush to coat the lashes in the very corner of each eye. It’s easier to spot any you’ve missed in those hard-to-reach places if you do this first.
Ok, what tends to give everything away is too much mascara on the ends.
The key is to get most of the product into the roots to define your eyes, but only a little on the ends.
Instead of swiping the mascara up along your lashes, place the brush along them right at the roots and wiggle it from side to side gently. Then you can softly swipe a tiny bit up your lashes if you must – but make sure you don’t get too much on the ends.
Now rest the brush on your bottom lashes, and blink a few times. This pushes the mascara into the roots without coating the lashes all the way to the ends.
See? We told you it was good…
