Hey you! What are your weekend plans? It's my sister's 18th birthday (omg! tears!) and my family is headed to the beach for the day. I can't wait! In the meantime, I'm back with another video! I'm sharing tips and tricks to fix those mascara problems, like smudges, clumps, and even help for oily lids. Every time I make a video, something is wrong with me--it's the nerves of filming. This time I broke out in a rash on my neck, so that's why I'm not wearing a necklace (check out Instagram for a pic).
- Awkward Disclaimer: I had a cold, had on zero makeup, and had just gotten back from a 5-hour drive, so I was looking rough.
- I really pronounce "oil" in one syllable. It sounds like "bowl" minus the "b" but I knew that would be hard to understand, hehe.
Oily Lids
- Try an oil-free primer under the eye. I used one from Pixi.
- Drier formula mascaras
- Waterproof mascara--if you don't want to use it, just try it as a top coat or on the tips.
Smudges
- Clean your mascara wand completely and then reload.
- Avoid putting mascara on the tips--just brush on the roots and up
- Tilt you head back when applying.
Clumps
- Remove excess product before you apply to avoid clumps
- Brush a clean spoolie through your lashes after applying mascara
FOR MORE TIPS, PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO!
Have a great weekend! Be safe, behave and be well. Love, Elle
This is great!!! Thanks for sharing!

I am totally impressed by your mad video skills! I think you should mix it up, because I like seeing both personal and beauty videos.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I always have a hard time with mascara because one of my eyes has thicker eyelashes than the other -- and it always seems to clump. I'll have to try your tips!

You sing! What a lovely voice you have.
ReplyDeleteI like it when you mix beauty and personal subjects. That makes your blog feel more real (i.e., from a person) and less like a magazine.
These mascara tips were great: I've always had trouble applying it.
Thanks for the tips, sweetie! And have a fantastic birthday celebration! x
ReplyDeleteawesome tips! thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elle, these were such useful tips as I am not that mascara savvy.

You crack me up! What primers do you suggest? I get raccoon eyes. For videos, I say mix it up.

These tips are great!!! Thanks, dear. :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the new video format! It's probably easier on your hands. Makeup tips are great, but mixing up some personal videos would be fine, too.
ReplyDeletethe 'tilt your head' trick is quite handy...I'm always looking down in a slanted mirror, similar effect ｡◕‿◕

ReplyDeletethank you for these tips! I am having problems with clumps recently since I'm trying out new mascaras. Your video is soo cute and funny!
ReplyDeleteHey girl! So I'm poking around your archives trying to learn more about cleaning mascara wands to avoid clumps. Is wiping the wand on a tissue still what you recommend over soap & water? And what type of tissue do you use? Just any type? I ask because in my head when I think about doing that, it seems like some of the tissue would get caught on the mascara wand and leave tiny white paper flakes. I hope that makes sense. Almost like if you try to clean glass with Windex and a tissue instead of cleaning glass with Windex and a paper towel. Where the tissue leaves behind bits of itself. I think I'm overexplaining now, ha! Anyway, fill me in! Is this still your go to method?
