DIY Homemade Mascara To Add Beauty Appeal To Your Eyes
There are numerous ways to define your eyes with makeup, but mascara tops the list. Mascara helps in making your lashes stand out. They make your lashes appear lengthy, thick and beautiful. Mascara is used to improve and define the eyelashes by darkening, thickening and lengthening them.
The mascaras available in retail stores have various formulas, though the basic components such as oils, pigments, waxes and preservatives are the same in all. Mascaras that contain preservatives may cause allergic reactions and infections when used on a long-term basis. The allergic reactions commonly seen in mascara users may be due to the presence of methylparaben, butylparaben, aluminium powder, benzyl alcohol, etc., that are commonly found in mascaras.
If that is the case, then why not give homemade mascaras a try? The natural homemade mascara recipes are simpler, and come with no side effects. They also help in creating a beautiful texture that you will fall in love with. Therefore, we have compiled two DIY homemade mascaras in this section to add beauty appeal to your eyes. So, here goes.

Tips
To
Apply
Mascara
The
Right
Way:
• To apply a mascara, jiggle the brush of the formula at the base of your lashes to build fullness and then fully cover the root. Then, apply the mascara from the middle of the lashes to the tips, adding a little more to the outer lashes for extra style.
• If you really want your lashes to appear thicker and lengthier, two coats of mascara are essential. If you are applying a second coat of mascara, dust a bit of translucent powder over your lashes before applying the second coat. The translucent powder adds extra length and volume to the eyelashes without making it get clumpy. If you want to go all natural, substitute translucent powder with arrowroot powder. Use an eyelash curler for this.
• If you are a first-timer in applying a mascara, and fear that the mascara may get on your eyelid, use a spoon as a shield when applying the mascara, to avoid getting it on the lid.
• When using homemade mascaras, use them wisely, as they lack preservatives and hence have a short storage life (may be six months, depending on how you preserve them). They should be disposed off if found to look and smell different.
These easy all-natural homemade mascara recipes are fun to make, and give you complete control over the ingredients used. If you have sensitive eyes, it is best to switch to such natural mascaras that are gentle on your eyes.
