Beginner’s Guide to Mascara: How to Avoid Clumps

Hey, Glaminai here.
Mascara makes the biggest difference with the smallest effort—unless it clumps. Let’s get you clean, lifted lashes every time.

💡 What Mascara Really Does

• Lengthening fibers grip tips for longer look.

• Volumizing thickens each lash.

• Curl-holding formulas keep lift in place.

✨ How to Apply (Clump-Free)

1. Wipe the excess off the wand on the tube’s rim or a tissue.

2. Start at the base, wiggle side-to-side, then sweep upward.

3. Work in thin coats—let each coat get tacky (10–15 sec) before the next.

4. Use a clean spoolie to comb through while still slightly wet.

🚫 Avoid These Lash Pitfalls

• Pumping the wand (pushes air in → dries formula faster).

• Layering lengthening over heavy volume formulas (reverse order or pick one).

• Applying to tips only (creates weight and clumps). Always start at the roots.

Quick Fixes

• Clump emergency: pinch lashes gently with a tissue and re-comb.

• Smudge insurance: set under-eyes with a whisper of powder.

• Straight lashes: curl before mascara; lock with a curl-holding formula.
