If you use a lash primer or lash curler, shape your lashes before applying the mascara. When the TUBING™ mascara is applied, it will hold the curl you created. The tubes that form around your individual lashes will act like a cast. Use blinc’s UltraVolume TUBING™ Mascara on clean, dry lashes. Applying TUBING™ formula to lashes with moisturizers, water, serums, etc. on them may affect the performance. Hold the wand horizontally. Start at the base of the lashes and go right to the tips while wiggling the wand slightly from side to side. Lightly sweep the brush across the lower lashes. You can also hold the wand vertically and gently apply the mascara lash-by-lash. Keep applying until you have achieved your desired lash separation, volume, and length. An eyelash comb can also help build definition and separate lashes. Build additional volume by applying as many coats as you wish. Go ahead—layer it up. Unlike conventional mascaras, the TUBING™ formula won’t weigh your lashes down. For additional length, focus on the tips of the lashes with a few strokes. Once you have finished, clean the bottle’s neck and opening of any residual mascara. Finish by closing the bottle tightly. This prevents mascara build-up and drying, which can lead to difficulties in reopening, damage the bottle, or dry out the tubing formula.
