Feeling a little blue? Is the day just not going quite as you planned? Are you feeling a little overwhelmed? Does the person looking back at you in the mirror not look like her usual sparkly self?

Swipe on a few layers of mascara for the boost you need! By making your eyelashes look longer and thicker, you’ll feel more attractive and better about yourself – enabling you to continue on with your day with some pep in your step.

I like Smashbox and CoverGirl mascara. Black mascara is my favourite – it adds something a little dramatic to the eye that brown just can’t do. Start at the base of the lash and swipe outwards and upwards a few times, slowly, to ensure the entire lash gets covered. If you want especially thick and luscious lashes, jiggle the mascara wand (gently!) at the base of the lashes before sweeping forwards. You just need 10 seconds and a tube of mascara for that extra boost!
