Have you ever realized that it is much more difficult to apply mascara and other eye makeup products in the wintertime? When it starts to get chilly out, you will probably notice that your mascara and eyeliners will be a little stiffer and more difficult to apply. Your eyeliner might even be less supple than it usually is, and might have less color impact. This happens because the lower temperatures can cause problems when it comes to makeup application - and especially eye makeup application. I have a few key makeup tips that will help make your eye makeup routine a little easier this winter season.
It's bothersome when your eyeliner is too cold to apply correctly. The key is to warm it up! Your body heat can come in handy and can help you warm up your eye makeup products to just the right temperature. If you place your eyeliner right next to your hip - inside the elastic on your pants - your body will naturally warm up the product to the proper temperature for application. It only takes a few minutes and I usually let it warm up while I'm washing my face or 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.
The key to beautiful lashes is a nice curl to them. So my final tip will help you get a great curl in your lash. Just like previous tips mentioned, getting the right curl involves warming your eyelash curler. You wouldn't expect your hair to curl on a cold curling iron would you? Just as your hair curls best on a warm curling iron, your eyelashes will curl best on a warmed eyelash curler. You can use your body heat to warm your eyelash curler too.
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. - 15343
