To comb natural eyelashes, place a lash wand underneath the lash line, start at the base, and gently brush through to the tips, lifting the lashes.
This technique helps to separate the lashes, remove any debris or clumps of mascara, and encourage a more lifted and defined look. Regular combing can also help to keep eyelashes healthy by stimulating circulation.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Choose the Right Tool: Use a clean lash wand or spoolie brush. These are readily available at drugstores or beauty supply stores.
- Start Clean: Ensure your lashes are clean and free of makeup residue, especially mascara.
- Position the Wand: Hold the wand horizontally and place it underneath your upper lash line, as close to the base of the lashes as possible.
- Brush Gently: In a gentle, upward motion, brush the wand through your lashes from base to tip. Avoid applying too much pressure, which can damage the delicate lashes.
- Separate and Lift: Focus on separating any lashes that are stuck together. The upward motion helps to lift and curl the lashes naturally.
- Repeat as Needed: Repeat the brushing motion several times until your lashes are neatly separated and positioned as desired.
- Clean the Wand: Regularly clean your lash wand with mild soap and water to prevent the buildup of bacteria.
Regularly combing your eyelashes can significantly improve their appearance and overall health.
