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 is so annoying when eyeliner seems to be too hard and cold to apply properly. The good news is that each of us holds the key to fixing the problem. It is our bodies. Your body heat is the perfect temperature to warm up that chilled eye makeup. Simply put your eyeliner right on your stomach or hip allowing your clothes to hold it tight. It doesn't take very long to warm it up and it will be ready for application. A simple thing I do is allow my eyeliner to warm up while I am doing my hair.
This same tip is great for your mascara. When it's too cold, mascara is often more difficult to deal with than eyeliner. When it's cold, your lashes end up looking clumped together and stiff. Using your body heat works great to avoid letting your mascara ruin your makeup look. I've found that it takes a little bit longer to warm up than the eyeliner, so you'll want to give it a few extra minutes. You'll find that the time is worth it when your mascara then goes on smoothly.
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 am in a time crunch, I use my blow dryer on low heat just for a few seconds. If you use your blow dryer to warm up your lash curler, make sure you test it first with your finger to make sure it's not too hot since your eye is such a sensitive area. Hopefully, with these tips, the cold of winter won't make a difference; you'll still look your best. - 16463
