Essential Tips For Perfect Summer Lashes

In the past few weeks, Beauty Almanac has introduced many wonderful summer 2011 collections from various fantastic cosmetic brands. As you could have seen, each collection included a must-have product for every summer - a mascara! Before you decide which one to pick, Nadia Smith, the founder of EnvyDerm shares a few tips that will help you achieve perfect summer lashes.

1. Summer Must: Waterproof:

You have your flip-flops, summer dress and beach bag ready, BUT don’t forget your waterproof mascara. One coat of your favorite mascara will be perfect for a natural daytime look. Whether off to the beach or a day at the office, no one wants melted smudged black makeup under your eyes—go waterproof!

2. Protect Those Lashes:

During the hot summer months, it is no shock to find yourself stocking up on waterproof makeup. But when it comes time to wipe off that mascara, have you found yourself irritating your eyes or pulling out your lashes? Don’t sweat it! The answer lies all in three essential products: a cotton ball, makeup remover and cleanser. And remember—be gentle! Soak the cotton ball with eye makeup remover and gently hold the cotton ball over your lashes. Slowly move the cotton ball upward along your lash line, in one direction. Repeat process, if necessary. Gently cleanse your eyes using lukewarm water and your cleanser to remove excess mascara.

3. Make it Last:

Since you should change your mascara every three months, it’s time to purchase that perfect mascara for summertime. Remember the following tips to make your mascara last longer. Do not pump your mascara! This will dry it out. Remove excess mascara from your brush regularly. Wiping your brush will assist with better application and will prevent contaminating the product with dry mascara.

4. Ask What Your Products Can Do For You

With so many products to choose from, how do you make the best decision? Ask what your mascara can do for you? Consider lash-enhancing mascara and products to enhance and beautify all-in-one. Nadia recommends EnvyDerm Eyelash Growth Serum, a gentle, non-prescription formula that promotes natural eyelash growth to give you longer, fuller and darker lashes.

So there it is, just follow these 4 simple steps to achieve the perfect looking summer lashes. After the summer, your lashes will be thankful!
