  1. Don't Pump Up
    Never, ever pump the wand - this adds air to the mascara container, which will only make your mascara dry out faster.
  2. Colour Code
    As a general rule, brown or soft black are best for daytime; black works best for night.
  3. When Less Is More
    Use less mascara on lower lashes than on top lashes. Or forego mascara on lower lashes for a more casual look.
  4. Outta Here!
    If your mascara smells funny or is more than six months old, chuck it. The eyes are very sensitive to bacteria.
  5. Stretch It Out!
    After you've coated lashes with mascara, add just one more layer to the outer corners. The extra coat will make your lashes look especially long.
