«The gaze is a real means of communication and never as in this period have we been able to realize it! Choosing one make-up rather than another can communicate a different spirit. Mascara is therefore an inevitable product “, underlines Chiara Corsaletti, make-up artist of celebs and founder of Making Beauty, make-up training academy and make-up artist and hair-stylist agency to whom, in view of the New Year’s Eve, we have all asked the secrets to best apply it and put your gaze even more in the spotlight: «Mascara does not have a single function: it is used to lengthen, volumize, curl and give color according to the desired finish. Personally I love the extra black effect with a glossy finish, but now, above all, among the very young the trend born on social networks of fluo or metallic finish lashes “.

But how to choose the mascara that best suits our eyes? “Each mascara must be chosen according to personal needs: for example, if the lashes are straight, it is better to focus on a volumizing mascara, if they are short, a lengthening mascara that lifts them from the roots is perfect”, replies the expert. While for the holidays “for glamorous evenings that deserve a special touch you can take advantage of advanced technology of false eyelash effect mascara, enriched with volumizing formulas that nourish each lash in detail and are equipped with a slightly curved brush that improves application, filling the lashes in every corner. If chosen well, mascara can give a volume effect without using impractical false eyelashes ».

False eyelashes, cross and delight

In fact, compared to the United States or Great Britain, where there is a real culture of false lashes with entire dedicated shops, in Italy they enter women’s beauty cases less, even if they remain objects of desire for a wow effect make-up. «In fact, they do not have an immediate application but, as always, the right technique is enough. False eyelashes today they are used more and more often also by teenagers and celebs and there are different models: magnetic, fan-shaped, tufted, single. To apply them correctly you need to follow some simple but fundamental tips, including paying attention to the glue that needs its drying time and must be applied in minimal quantities, selecting the right lash size according to your eye, curling your lashes previously with an eyelash curler and above all avoiding mascara afterwards having applied them because it could detach them », explains Chiara Corsaletti.

Take care of your lashes

We also remember that it is very important to take care of your eyelashes that “support” mascara and / or false eyelashes and contour the eye with refinement: “You can adopt different methods, all very effective and natural. Oils are a great way to strengthen your lashes, make them thick and even longer. Olive oil is a good tonic, it is moisturizing and nourishing both on the skin and on the eyelashes. The other oil that can help achieve the goal is castor oil. It moisturizes the lashes, gives them shine and increases their strength and volume », suggests the make-up artist.

“Furthermore, the curler should not be used too oftenotherwise you run the risk of weakening the lashes which, as a result, break. It goes waterproof mascara is also used in moderation which takes more time and effort to remove, which means putting your lashes through an exhausting treatment. Another mistake not to make: going to bed without removing make-up. Never do that! Finally, if you want a truly extra effect, you can wait until the mascara is dry and repeat the steps several times », Chiara Corsaletti concludes.
