Perfect Daytime Looks: Best Mascara for Natural Lashes 

Aiming for a natural, everyday look involves choosing a mascara that enhances your lashes without making them look overly dramatic. The Napoleon Perdis All-Out Volumising Mascara, is one option that can help achieve this effect. 

This type of mascara typically balances volume and length, providing a subtle boost suitable for daytime wear. Its lightweight formula is designed to keep your lashes soft and flexible, while the tubular technology creates a smudge-proof finish, ensuring longevity without the 'spider leg' effect that can occur with heavier mascaras. 

The buildable nature of this tubular mascara is an important aspect that offers versatility. For a minimal appearance, apply a single coat. If more definition is desired, simply add additional layers to suit various daytime situations. 

To achieve natural-looking lashes, remember that less can often be more. Ensure even application by focusing on the roots of your lashes. This technique provides a gentle lift, effectively opening up the eyes. 

Transitioning to Evening GlamoUR

To create stunning evening lashes, focus on techniques that add volume and length. Start by curling your lashes to open up your eyes and create a more dramatic look. 

Next, apply a coat of the Napoleon Perdis Own It Mascara, known for its volumizing and lengthening abilities, to your top lashes. Allow this to dry slightly before applying a second coat, focusing on the outer corners for a sultry, cat-eye effect. 

For ultimate drama, don't forget your bottom lashes. Apply mascara to these using the tip of the wand for precise application. This will frame your eyes and create a more balanced, glamorous look. 

Finally, if you want to take your lashes to the next level, consider adding individual false lashes to the outer corners of your eyes. This will create a beautiful, fluttery effect that's perfect for evening events. 

Expert Makeup Tips for Lash Perfection 

The key to perfect lashes lies not just in the mascara you choose, but in how you use it. The Napoleon Perdis Next Dimension Lash Boosting Mascara is a versatile option that can create both natural and dramatic looks. 

One secret to maximising your mascara's effect is to warm it up before application. Roll the tube between your hands for a few seconds to heat the formula slightly. This will help it glide on more smoothly and evenly. 

Another pro tip is to use the 'wiggle and sweep' technique. Wiggle the wand at the base of your lashes before sweeping upwards. This helps to deposit more product at the roots, creating the illusion of thicker, more voluminous lashes. 

For those with straight lashes, try bending the wand slightly before application. This creates a curved brush that can more easily reach and coat all of your lashes, even those tricky corner ones. 

Application Techniques for Natural Look 

Achieving a natural look with mascara is all about subtle enhancement. Start by curling your lashes to open up your eyes and create a more awake appearance. 

When applying mascara for a natural look, less is more. Use a light hand and focus on coating each lash evenly. Here's a step-by-step guide: 

Start at the base of your lashes and wiggle the wand back and forth. 

Slowly sweep the wand upwards, rotating it slightly as you go to separate lashes. 

Focus on the outer lashes to create a subtle lifting effect. 

Use the tip of the wand to coat lower lashes lightly. 

Remember, for a truly natural look, one coat is usually sufficient. If you need more definition, wait for the first coat to dry before applying a second. 

Maintenance and Care for Lasting Impact 

Proper maintenance and care of your mascara and lashes are crucial for achieving consistently beautiful results. Always store your mascara in a cool, dry place to prevent the formula from drying out or becoming clumpy. 

To avoid bacterial growth, replace your mascara every three to six months. Never pump the wand in and out of the tube, as this introduces air and can dry out the product. Instead, twist the wand gently to pick up product. 

At the end of the day, always remove your mascara thoroughly. Use a gentle, oil-based makeup remover to dissolve the product without tugging at your lashes. This helps to keep your natural lashes healthy and strong. 

For lash care, consider using a lash serum at night to nourish and strengthen your lashes. This can help them grow longer and stronger, providing an even better base for your mascara application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you're a full-glam queen or a no-makeup-makeup babe, our mascara FAQ spills all the deets.

What’s the best mascara for length and volume?

If you’re after length and volume, our Next Dimension Lash-Boosting Mascara and Mesmer-Eyes Waterproof Mascara are standout picks. Each is designed to give multidimensional lashes by lengthening, curling, separating and defining.

How do I apply mascara for maximum lift?

1. Curl - Start by curling your lashes with an eyelash curler before applying your mascara. This primes lashes to stay lifted and provides extra height. 2. Apply - Apply your chosen eye mascara by positioning it at the base of your lashes, then gently wiggle the wand upwards through the tips to deposit the colour evenly. 3. Layer - For maximum lift, apply a second coat, ensuring you pull the wand upwards in the same direction to achieve an even finish.

What’s the difference between volumising and lengthening mascara?

Volumising mascara thickens and adds fullness, while lengthening mascara stretches and defines each lash for a longer look.

Is black mascara suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, absolutely. A rich black mascara can add subtle definition or bold drama depending on how much you apply. Each of our mascara formulas is buildable so you can start subtly and build to your desired level of definition.
