The British woman actually spends a lot of time and money on this particular make up product and therefore requires an item that aptly suits her needs. Clinique’s make up experts actually recommend purchasing a few different style mascaras in order to suit various occasions. An evening look is often completely different to that of a daytime look, one may be more natural whilst the other more dramatic. Make up artists also recommend replacing your mascara every three months.

This seasons catwalk trends showcased an array of styles but dramatic and super fat lashes seem to be the predominant trend. Applying a lash building primer prior to the first coat of mascara will create a good volumising base as well as aiding in both protecting and conditioning the lashes.

In order to apply like a pro you should begin by wiggling the mascara wand at the base of the lashes as this will both cut down on any unwanted clumps as well as help to create volume. You should try and wait a minimum of five seconds prior to moving the lashes in order to avoid any smudges.
