Magic Wand!


If you’re a mascara girl, I’m sure you’re bound to have seen all sorts of mascara wand.

















But do you know how to use them to get the most out of it?

I’m here to show you three different sorts of mascara wand and how to use them!

First is the common “U” wand where you can find in most mascara bottles. It is bended like a “U” shape.

















To have volume and long lashes, first use the bend upwards part (as shown on below picture) for volume.

















Next, use the bend downwards part (as shown on below picture) to lengthen the lashes and make it less clumpy.


















The reason for this is because most of the mascara will go to the upwards part of the wand when dips into the mascara bottle hence, using this part will give thicker volume for your lashes. The bend downwards part will help to clean off the clumpy part of your lashes while pushing the excessive mascara upwards hence, lengthens your lashes. This applies to lower lashes too.

Now for the second wand I’m about to introduce is a vibrate wand, which is battery operated. This kind of wand vibrates up and down gently with a push of a button.
















To use it, simply switch the vibrate button and use the vibrate wand to brush your lashes upwards.

















The vibration will help to thicken your lashes while brushing upwards lengthens it. You can use it for lower lashes too as it vibrates very gently. Just switch on the vibration and brush it downwards :)

Lastly would be the 360 rotating wand which is also battery operated. This mascara wand rotates in two directions- clockwise and anti-clockwise.

















You need to be careful of which direction to use and NEVER EVER USE IT ON ARTIFICIAL LASHES WITH THE ROTATING MODE ON! The artificial lashes will get caught in the wand when rotating. This may also happen to you if you use the wrong direction (I’ve use the wrong direction before but nothing happens to me only clumpy lashes :( ). If lashes do get caught, simply switch to another direction to release the lashes. Still the best part of using this mascara is that it really gives length to your lashes and not to mention you will look cooler with it :)

To start off, I will need to make it clear that the direction I use is for right handed people (should you be left handed simply use the opposite direction I’ve mention). If you’re applying for other people, the direction will be different too. The point is that you need the brush to be rolling upwards towards the user for applying upper lashes and rolling downwards towards the user for applying lower lashes.

Here’s how I do it, for upper lashes I first switch the mode to anti-clockwise and then gently brush upwards.

















The anti-clockwise mode will make mascara less clumpy while brushing upwards help to lengthens the lashes. It won’t be that complicated once you get the hang of it.

Next, I switch to clockwise for lower lashes.
















Lastly, no matter what wands you use always brush in a zigzag way followed by the directions I’ve told you. This is to ensure all your lashes are fully coated with mascara.

Now that you know the ways to use your wands, you can now perfect your lashes like magic!
