"1. Bend the mascara wand.  As you pull the wand out of the tube, gently bend the tip so it&amp;#039;s perpendicular to the handle. This new shape will make the brush easier to control for harder-to-reach areas, like the tiny hairs toward the inner corner of your eye. 2. Wiggle the brush back and forth at the base of your lashes, and then swipe up toward the tips.  If you coat your lashes too evenly, it will weigh down the tips of the hairs, causing your lashes to straighten after a few minutes. To hold the curl, apply a thick coat of mascara at the root of your lashes, then apply a lighter coat toward the ends. You can achieve this by wiggling the wand back and forth at the base, and then lightly combing the brush through through the tips. 3. Hold the brush at different angles.  For voluminous lashes, hold the brush horizontally and wiggle it back and forth. For longer, lighter lashes, hold the brush vertically and run the tip of the brush along the length of your lashes. 4. Dust baby powder on your lashes between coats of mascara.  Translucent powder or baby powder has grip, so it will stick to your lashes in between coats of mascara. This will make your lashes appear more voluminous. 5. Apply mascara while you use an eyelash curler.  If your lashes tend to fall straight, clamp your eyelash curler at the base of your lashes as you apply your first coat of mascara. The wetness and heaviness of the mascara can make the curl fall out of your lashes, so reinforce them with a curler as you apply your first coat.  6. Rotate the angle of your eyelash curler.  To create even big curls, clamp your lashes at the very base, press the curler together lightly, and hold the lashes in place for a few seconds. Release the clamp and move it about halfway up the lash hairs while turning the curler at an angle parallel to the ground. Clamp and hold again. Finally, move the curler to the tip of the lashes, and give one final press, turning the curler almost upright.
