pumpkinflavoredkasei asked: Hello! Love your blog, it's helped me with a lot of my makeup problems! I have a question though that i don't think you've answered and it's how to a keep mascara from getting on my top lid when applying it? I have this problem when i don't want to wear eyeliner and then it ends up kinda looking like i put it on anyway, just in a really bad way lol I've tried applying it from a downward angle but it still gets on there anyway. So i just need some tips for clean mascara application : D

Thats really common it happens to me too!

  • Well first using a mascara with a thinner brush makes it a lot easier like Loreal Telescopic. 
  • Don’t press too hard into the lashes very gently brush through them. 
  • Look down and applying mascara downward on the top of your lashes 

If these still don’t work you can make your own lash shield/card with business cards, flash cards, etc. As long as the paper is somewhat thick. You can buy premade lash cards or juts cut them yourself to fit the shape of your eye. These act like little shields so your mascara won’t get on your eye lid.

Or just go in with a Q tip with makeup remover and remove the excess mascara on your lid :)
