Ever heard of the saying “fake it ’til you make it”? Well, I am here to show you how to master that skill. Keep reading these nine expert tips to achieve bold bottom lashes with mascara.

In comparison to common opinion, it is not necessary to apply mascara to your top lashes before your bottom lashes. By starting with your lower lashes, you can easily apply mascara to your top lashes without smudging your flawlessly blended smokey eye. Finally, this is a simple solution!

If your goal is for a flawless and long-lasting mascara look, an eyelash primer will be your best choice.

Include a tube of either the L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Lash Primer or the L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara Primer/Base into your makeup collection and gently apply it before applying mascara.

Your mascara will adhere to your lashes for a long day, and your lower lashes will look more voluminous and longer.

If you don’t want to look like the raccoon, look by the end of the day.

In that case, it’s advisable to opt for a waterproof formula like the L’Oréal Paris Telescopic Original Waterproof Lengthening Mascara when it comes to bottom lash mascara.

If you already have longer bottom lashes, they may touch on your under-eye area. This can sometimes cause your mascara to blend with your foundation or concealer.

Make sure to have a waterproof makeup remover so you can easily remove your makeup at the end of the day.

The L’Oréal Paris Micellar Cleansing Water Complete Cleanser Waterproof – All Skin Types is a great option to consider.

Have you ever thought about trying a different technique when applying mascara? Instead of the usual up-and-down swipes, why not give the side-to-side wiggle a go?

When browsing through social media videos and behind-the-scenes photoshoots, you’ll come across makeup artists who have a knack for creating a bold bottom lash look that takes inspiration from the iconic sixties era.

Why not experiment with applying mascara to your lower lash line next time?

In addition to the formula of your bottom lash mascara, the tool you choose to apply it can make a difference.

Using a smaller mascara wand is a logical choice since your lower lashes are shorter than your upper lashes. Using a smaller wand can help prevent smudging mascara along your lash line or under your eyes.

Black mascara is the most popular shade for a reason, but that doesn’t mean you can’t try it with different hues. Get artistic and try vibrant-colored mascara on your lower lashes to make an eye-catching appearance.

Experience the vibrant pop of color with the L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Original Washable Bold Eye Mascara in Cobalt Blue.

Enhance the intensity by applying a lash primer beforehand for an eye-catching look.

Experience a range of attractive shades with this mascara, including Deep Burgundy and Deep Violet.

For optimal results, it’s important to use a clean spoolie to brush through your lashes before and after applying mascara.

With this technique, you can achieve fuller-looking lashes without worrying about clumps.

Have you ever wondered about the possibility of adding eyelash extensions to your lower lashes?

Well, you’re on the right track. If you’re seeking a long-lasting and bold lower lash appearance, consider visiting a salon to have bottom lash extensions applied.

If you’re interested in creating a unique look for a day, you have the option to do so with the assistance of individual lashes.

Here’s the step-by-step guide to doing it yourself.

First, apply your eye makeup as you usually do, stopping right before you would normally put on mascara. It’s important to apply your individual lashes for the last step in your routine.

Apply a lash glue and gently squeeze out a small amount onto a piece of foil or cardboard. Allow the lash glue to dry for just a few seconds until it becomes sticky.

When applying your individual lash extensions, it’s important to use a pair of tweezers and hold them in the desired position for application. Apply a small amount of lash glue to the end.

Start by applying your first individual lash to your lower lash line, and continue the process until you achieve two sets of bold, false bottom lashes.
