You should use a lash separator after you've applied mascara to remove clumps and define your lashes.
Using a lash separator is a simple way to achieve a more polished and natural look after applying mascara. It helps prevent the dreaded "spider leg" effect, where lashes clump together unattractively.
Here's a breakdown of when and how to use a lash separator:
-
Timing: Always use it after your mascara has been applied, ideally while it's still slightly damp. Waiting too long can make it harder to separate the lashes without tugging.
-
Technique: Gently comb through your lashes from root to tip with the lash separator. Be careful not to poke your eye. Focus on separating any clumps you see.
-
Purpose:
- De-clumping: The primary purpose is to separate lashes that have stuck together during mascara application.
- Defining: Separating your lashes gives them more definition, making your eyes appear bigger and brighter.
- Removing Excess Product: A lash separator can also help remove excess mascara that might be weighing down your lashes.
-
Alternatives: If you don't have a lash separator, a clean mascara wand or a fine-toothed comb can be used as alternatives.
In short, a lash separator is a valuable tool for achieving well-defined, clump-free lashes after mascara application.
