Have you ever noticed how much harder it is to put on your eyeliner and mascara when the weather turns colder? When it gets colder, your mascara can be a little stiffer coming out of the tube making a smooth application next to impossible. Maybe your eyeliner seems to be almost frozen solid. It doesn't take much to make your eyeliner harder which makes putting it on really difficult. Colder weather can pose a few problems for eye makeup application, but I have a few makeup tips that I've learned and I hope will you apply your eye makeup a little easier this winter.
It is so annoying when eyeliner seems to be too hard and cold to apply properly. The good news is that each of us holds the key to fixing the problem. It is our bodies. Your body heat is the perfect temperature to warm up that chilled eye makeup. Simply put your eyeliner right on your stomach or hip allowing your clothes to hold it tight. It doesn't take very long to warm it up and it will be ready for application. A simple thing I do is allow my eyeliner to warm up while I am doing my hair.
This same tip is great for your mascara. When it's too cold, mascara is often more difficult to deal with than eyeliner. When it's cold, your lashes end up looking clumped together and stiff. Using your body heat works great to avoid letting your mascara ruin your makeup look. I've found that it takes a little bit longer to warm up than the eyeliner, so you'll want to give it a few extra minutes. You'll find that the time is worth it when your mascara then goes on smoothly.
I never apply mascara without curling my lashes first. With that in mind, I have one final tip to help your lashes look their best. To get the best curl from your lashes, you can warm up your eyelash curler. Think about it, you use a warm curling iron to curl your hair, why wouldn't your eyelashes curl better if the eyelash curler were warm. I will use my body heat to help warm my eye lash curler.
Sometimes I find myself in a rush. In these cases, I simply run my blow dryer over it for a few seconds to warm it up. If you use your blow dryer, be cautious not to heat it up too much. Your eye area is sensitive, so test the temperature of the curler with your finger. With these cold weather tips, you can still look great and create beautiful winter makeup looks. - 16650
