Know the Hack to remove water-proof mascara
Multiple quests made us reach out to a celebrity makeup artist who has a perfect way of applying mascara in a way that you do not need to fight with your lashes and curse the mascara wand anymore!
Celebrity makeup artist and one of the best makeup artists in New York, Nick Barose who has worked with celebrities like Priyanka Chopra has a brilliant hack for water-proof mascara application! It is simple and convenient and entirely genius!
Nick when he does the lashes, makes sure that he doesn’t coat water-proof mascaras. Instead , he applies a coat of normal mascara and coats it with one swipe of waterproof mascara.
This way your lashes stay protected also and you don’t have panda eyes smudged black. Also, when it comes to removing the mascara, the makeup remover has to remove only a top coat.
Having multiple coats of water-proof mascara leads to a tighter seal due to the strong water-resistant formula of the product and it gets tedious to be removed. But as per this amazing hack, you just need to smudge off the water-proof mascara and the coat beneath gets easily dissolved as it isn’t waterproof. Simple simple!
This lash trick works wonders for real rigid waterproof mascara with elongating character in nature as they are tough to be even smudged a little. Good protection, but hard removal!
