As its Valentine’s Day this weekend ……

Your Squidgey Bits!

When I say that you’ve got squidgey bits

Dont get cross or grumpy

Cause they’re something to hold onto

When we’re doing rumpy-pumpy!!!

Happy Valentine’s Day x

1.         Try using an eyelash curler prior to applying your mascara to open up your eyes and give natural curve. When using an eyelash curler, squeeze your lashes onto the curler pad, then release slowly, then pull the curler away from your eyes.  Its not a good idea to release and pull away at the same time as you might pull some eyelashes out (ouch)!   Be very careful if you need to use the curler again after you’ve applied your mascara as the mascara can cause the lashes to stick to the curler.

2.         Treat yourself to a good eyelash primer.   A lash primer or lash conditioner provides a base coat for your mascara.  It will condition, thicken and strengthen your lashes all in one step – even before you apply your mascara.  Just brush the lash primer onto your lashes and let them dry completely prior to putting your mascara on.
 
3.         Apply mascara to your upper lashes from the base to end of the lashes.  Why not turn your mascara wand upright and just tip the ends of your eyelashes with the end of the mascara wand. This will give the very ends of your lashes a good coating of mascara which will help them to appear longer.  You can do the same step to your lower lashes, but be careful and use sparingly, as too much mascara underneath the eye can make you look tired.  Use a clean lash brush to comb through your lashes if they need to be separated.  Let each coat of mascara dry completely before applying additional mascara to the lashes.

4.         To help the base of your eyelashes appear thicker, use a very thin line of high-pigment eyeliner, either pencil or liquid, whichever is preferred.  But be careful not to smudge, you don’t want to look like some king of witch!
 
Personally, I have to be really careful when doing my eyelashes as they are extremely long!  Lucky you, I hear you saying.  But, to be honest, they clump together and I am forever getting spots all the way along the top of my eye shadow, as when I put my mascara on, they just roll back and blot everywhere.  I am forever redoing my eyes!!

I’ve found a few little ideas which may inspire you to treat the one you love on Valentine’s Day.  After all, it is the one day of the year when we can get away with being really soppy if we want to!
