Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
The first step is to gather all the necessary supplies. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Your favorite mascara
- A waterproofing agent (such as a waterproofing topcoat or liquid)
- A disposable mascara wand (optional)
Step 2: Prep Your Mascara
Start by prepping your mascara. Take your favorite mascara and open it up. If there’s excess product on the wand, gently wipe it off with a tissue. This step ensures better adherence of the waterproofing agent to the mascara formula.
Step 3: Add the Waterproofing Agent
Now, it’s time to make your mascara waterproof. Take your chosen waterproofing agent and add a few drops to the mascara tube. Make sure not to add too much, as it may alter the mascara’s consistency. A little goes a long way!
Step 4: Mix Thoroughly
Once you’ve added the waterproofing agent, tightly close the mascara tube, and give it a good shake. Make sure to mix the mascara and the waterproofing agent thoroughly. This way, the waterproofing agent will be evenly distributed throughout the mascara formula.
Step 5: Apply and Test
After mixing, your waterproof mascara is ready to use! Apply it as you would normally do. Once applied, test its water resistance by splashing a few drops of water onto your lashes. If the mascara holds up well, congratulations – you now have waterproof lashes!
Extra Tips
Here are a few additional tips to help you achieve foolproof waterproof mascara:
- Use a disposable mascara wand for easier application and to prevent cross-contamination between your regular and waterproof mascaras.
- If you’re using a waterproof topcoat, apply it as the final step after applying your regular mascara.
- Remember that waterproof mascara can be a bit more stubborn to remove. So, make sure to use an oil-based or waterproof makeup remover for easy removal.
By following these steps and tips, you can transform any regular mascara into waterproof mascara. Say goodbye to smudges and hello to long-lasting, smudge-free lashes!
Once you’ve mastered the art of waterproofing mascara, you can confidently face any tears, rain, or water-related activities without worrying about your mascara betraying you. Enjoy flaunting those stunning waterproof lashes!
