The technique to make your eyelashes fuller and thicker without changing mascara
As the makeup artist explains in this short video, there are times when we don't feel like we're getting the best from our mascara whatever it promises. And that's precisely where his technique comes in to help us make our lashes the most beautiful, unfolding their volume and giving the illusion that they're thicker than they actually are. The make-up artist explains that instead of applying the mascara from the roots of the eyelashes to their tips, zigzagging upwards to give them a nice curve, it is better to start by making a rotating movement that goes down and towards face with the brush rather than outward and upward, to curl the lashes downward, thus rolling the mascara brush towards the roots of the lashes. A very surprising way of doing things that goes against the usual recommendations for applying mascara. It is only then that he encourages us to resume our reflexes to stretch the mascara formula in a second step, this time starting from the roots of the eyelashes to go to the tips, and zigzagging with the brush to fully deploy the eyelash fringe. As a result, eyelashes that appear thicker, with a noticeable difference at the level of the lash line because the roots of the lashes are then more loaded with formula, a color which is then revealed as a result more intense and a good fringe of lashes. deployed. In short, this little extra gesture wonderfully maximizes the effect of mascara to make lashes look fuller and thicker.
The expert warns, however, that this way of applying mascara takes a bit of practice and patience before it is fully mastered, but says it's a life-changing tip.
The editorial team tested, and here is what we thought
The trick of Criss Scortezz most certainly depends on the mascara chosen, as well as the length of our lashes. Indeed, as shown in the video above, the result was not the most convincing on rather short eyelashes. The result remains more natural and prettier on the right side; or the side where the mascara was applied in a "normal" way.
