Make Up 101 : Applying Mascara

Besides my usual basic ramblings, I do hope this blog will also help women who are more on the shy side, like me of course, to be more confident about themselves. I won't promise miracle cures and make you instantly confident because ultimately, it is about whether you want to help yourself or not.


One of the things that women should embrace is cosmetics. Well, those naysayers may think that hey, putting on cosmetics will just make us look less natural. I tell ya, if you are blessed with good genes that makes you a natural hottie, then by all mean, say what you want to say. If not, a little help can go a long way.


To me, even if you are not well off, it doesn't mean you can slack and be all sloppy looking. Trust me, you don't have to spend lotsa money to look and feel good. This time round, I'm going to introduce you to mascara.


I'm sure you have sleeked on mascara before but if let's say you have not put it on eva before in your life, don't miss out on this great product. A good mascara, when well executed, will give you good looking peepers. There is NO one mascara fits all. It may take awhile to get a mascara that looks good on you depending on what kind of eye lashes we have. So be experimental and try out different mascaras and stick to the ones that suit you most and not the ones that everyone is raving about. Plus, a good mascara may not even cost much and if you are a smart shopper, you can wait until a good time where they give a few percent off certain make up products which can include mascaras. Frankly speaking, that's how I got my mascaras..haha.


Let me show you a video by a make up guru on the 101 of applying mascara




Basically, some good tips

  • Always prep your eyelashes with a good eyelash curler before applying mascara
  • Swipe off the wand of your mascara at the sides of the tube opening to remove the excess so that it won't clump on your lashes
  • Apply the wand in a zig zag manner on your lashes. Apply the coats of mascara evenly and do it several times until you get the desired volume.
  • Tilt your face down a bit when applying your lower lashes to avoid swiping on your cheeks as well.
  • If your eyelashes clump a bit, comb it through gently with a lash comb. A good tip is to use an old mascara wand.
  • To make your lashes darker looking, you can use an eyeliner and line the outer corner of your upper waterline.
For an idea of what are the affordable mascaras in the market, follow the link below. Personally, I'm using the last one. I find that it's good in giving me the volume I want which does indeed sexify my eyes. However, I need a make up remover to get rid of the mascara which I dislike coz I'm quite the fuss free type. But since I don't use it all the time, well it's not a big prob to me.

One Step at A Time

Hello there It has been a while, right? I used to treat this blog as a place for me to rant, talk about nonsensical things and interests that, when I think back about it, were pretty cringeworthy. But it was part of the process of me growing up and navigating through my life which is full of ups and downs, just like the tidal waves. I still need a form of outlet to write out my thoughts and I have been journaling for the last few years. At first, I was still writing nonsense, or simply writing about how my day went, but I try to make it a more conscious journalling where I will write about things that I can take lessons from or to reflect on. So how has life been for me? Well, I no longer am running an online shop where I used to do customised cards and then just specializing in box cards. I do want to have an online business, preferably one I don't have to travel to meet people.  If you read my last post about being zen, I think I have 'tripled' the amount of zen inside of...

Listen to Me

It kinda irks me when I am trying to express an opinion or sharing a piece of knowledge but it's met with strong objection or Im being cut half way before I even finished. I mean...come on...does it hurt to actually listen first, doesnt matter if u agree or not? Yes I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it's frustrating because I feel like a sore loser. That sort of conversation is actually begging to be turned into some huge argument if I am equally annoying and equally strong headed as well. But I dont want to do that especially if they are my friends. Then again, I am subjected to being called a wimp or somebody who cant stand up strong against what she believes in or her own opinions. That will sorta give the person a sense of pride for getting a landslide victory. At first I used to think that hey, maybe the person has a point and I am wrong. But come to think of it, that's bull! It's one thing not to argue and another thing to let ur own opinions b...

Ray of Light

The act of falling in love. Very subjective and it also depends on the object you desire. Well, if it is the 'whoa mama!' sort of hunk or good looker, then yours truly has fallen in love many times over and over again. But a guy who has stolen my heart for good..well...that has yet to happen. But let's not talk about my non existent love life. Let's just ponder over the act of falling in love. From what I have observed through several tv shows or even movies, I gather that well..not everyone is so lucky to have fallen in love at first sight. It takes time, and maybe it will even take boyfriend after boyfriend or girlfriend after girlfriend before reality smacks your face and you end up with your very first boyfriend (gasp!). What a truly merry go round. Hey, it happens. Because we make mistakes and we are too blind to notice how someone can truly bring you happiness by their sheer volumes of care and concern for you. In the midst of crisis, a ray of light shines through...
