Have you ever realized that it is much more difficult to apply mascara and other eye makeup products in the wintertime? When it starts to get chilly out, you will probably notice that your mascara and eyeliners will be a little stiffer and more difficult to apply. Your eyeliner might even be less supple than it usually is, and might have less color impact. This happens because the lower temperatures can cause problems when it comes to makeup application - and especially eye makeup application. I have a few key makeup tips that will help make your eye makeup routine a little easier this winter season.
It's bothersome when your eyeliner is too cold to apply correctly. The key is to warm it up! Your body heat can come in handy and can help you warm up your eye makeup products to just the right temperature. If you place your eyeliner right next to your hip - inside the elastic on your pants - your body will naturally warm up the product to the proper temperature for application. It only takes a few minutes and I usually let it warm up while I'm washing my face or doing my hair.
The same idea works for your mascara. When mascara gets too cold, it gets thicker and clumpier and while thick might be the look you want on your lashes, clumpy definitely is not. To fix the problem, simply use the same trick you used with the eyeliner. Your body temperature will warm up the mascara to perfection in no time. It might take a little bit longer than the eyeliner, but it will be worth it when it goes on your lashes smooth and clean.
The key to beautiful lashes is a nice curl to them. So my final tip will help you get a great curl in your lash. Just like previous tips mentioned, getting the right curl involves warming your eyelash curler. You wouldn't expect your hair to curl on a cold curling iron would you? Just as your hair curls best on a warm curling iron, your eyelashes will curl best on a warmed eyelash curler. You can use your body heat to warm your eyelash curler too.
Sometimes, when I don't have much time, I will use my blow dryer to warm the curler. Be sure to just use it on low heat for only a few seconds and then test the curler to make sure it is not too hot so it doesn't damage your sensitive eye area. So this winter, when the cold sets in, try out these makeup tips to help you make the most of your makeup and look your best. - 15438
