LA Colors Biggie Lash Mascara

Step 1: Curl Your Lashes
Hold the lash curler at the base of your eyelashes and gently press it closed on your lashes. Release and move the curler up your lashes, then repeat a third time. It's important to do this step prior to applying mascara to avoid the curler sticking to your lashes, which can lead to lash loss.

Step 2: Apply Eyelash Primer
Eyelash primer gives your mascara staying power.

Step 3: Apply Mascara to Your Upper Lashes
Pull the wand out of the tube and gently wipe off the excess mascara at the top. Don't pump the wand up and down in the tube, as that causes clumping and drying. Starting at the base of your upper lashes, wiggle the wand back and forth as you swipe upward to ensure your lashes are completely coated.

Step 4: Apply Mascara to Your Bottom Lashes
Approach your lower eyelashes with care, as mascara easily clumps and flakes when it's applied to these delicate lashes. Hold your mascara wand at an angle and apply just the tip to the roots of your bottom lashes, wiggling the wand gently. For more control, use a small lip brush to paint the lower lashes individually.

Step 5: Dust with Translucent Powder & Repeat Application
While dusting your lashes with a translucent powder in between coats of mascara isn't necessary, some pros like to do this as it adds thickness to lashes and provides additional staying power for mascara. If you choose to do this step, be sure to apply another coat of mascara afterwards to avoid powder-covered eyelashes.

Step 6: Clean Up Any Smudges
If you see a smudge or two once you've finished applying your mascara, dip a Q-tip or the end of a tissue in makeup remover, then gently dab at the smudges to remove them.
