5 mascara mistakes you’re making – and how to fix them!

Do you often find that you get bad results when applying mascara? We have highlighted the five most common mascara mistakes you're making – and how to fix them!
Mascara mistake #1: Your lashes are not clean enough
You haven't managed to remove yesterday's mascara or cleansing balm properly. This means that the mascara you are going to apply will not stay in place and the lashes will be poorly separated.
To prepare your lashes in the best way, use a make-up remover that works on the most stubborn mascaras and at the same time soothes the eye area.
Mascara mistake #2: It doesn't stay in place
Is there anything worse than a mascara that won't stay in place during the day? Here, the mascara itself can be the problem. To prevent the mascara from smearing, you need to prime it with a primer that can help the mascara stay in place all day, or replace your mascara.
If you're ready to replace the mascara, choose one that provides both nourishment and moisture to the lashes. Xlash Mascara is a waterproof mascara that gives carbon black and full lashes – perfect if you want the mascara to stay in place all day.
Mascara mistake #3: Don't forget to check the expiration date
Keep an eye on the mascara's expiration date! There is also a recommendation to change mascara after 3 months because the formula starts to break down, bacteria forms and the consistency can start to crumble.
Mascara mistake #4: Your lashes stick together like spider's legs
This usually happens when you want to apply another layer of mascara as it causes the lashes to stick together and look like spider's legs. A look you'd rather avoid! To avoid spider lashes, apply a thinner layer of mascara. If the accident has already occurred, you can use an eyebrow brush to gently comb through the lashes once they're dry to separate each lash.
Mascara mistake #5: It makes your lashes dry
If you usually apply many layers of mascara or if you even sleep with it on (a big NO NO), it can result in your lashes becoming drier and weaker. The lashes need rest and should not be subjected to unnecessary damage. If you're not comfortable going without mascara, you can use a caring mascara or an eyelash serum!
Xlash Eyelash Serum naturally gives long and fuller lashes in 28 days. The eyelash serum contains caring ingredients that add moisture and nourishment to the lashes. By boosting your lashes with an eyelash serum, you also reduce the risk of your mascara making your lashes dry.
