MY LASH ROUTINE AND TOP 5 FAVORITE MASCARAS!

[@reneejwaters]

I notice you apply using both right and left hand. Wow! I can’t master that. I end up doing the whole crossover thing with right hand and never can get the second eye to look as good as the first.

[@kt9495]

Try switching up your dominant hand throughout the day with things you normally do. Maybe it will build a pathway and then it will come easier for you.

[@stephRN05]

Try when you aren’t in a rush and can wash it off 😀

[@MandyDavisMUA]

I honestly am not sure how I started that, but I can't remember a time I didn't do it. LOL

[@kt9495]

@@MandyDavisMUA I’m naturally ambidextrous, maybe you are too? I write with my left, hold my fork with my left, but do everything else right handed. I can write with my right hand but only vertically. LoL

[@MandyDavisMUA]

@@kt9495 that sounds like my youngest. She is left handed but does all her sports right handed. So funny!

Hi Mandy! I have a few follow up questions: (1) Do you wait for the primer to dry before going in with your mascara or is it just a matter of moving onto the other eye with primer and then following with mascara on the first eye once you've finished priming the second? (2) Also, what do you consider a "coat" of mascara to be? Is it making sure all lashes have been touched or is it when you dip back into the mascara tube? (3) Should you allow lashes to dry between coats before going onto another coat? (Timing of this may be different if using a tubing formula since they don't seem to be as amendable to multiple coats like regular formulas). (4) In addition to looking down into a mirror to avoid mascara on eyelids, I've heard some folks rave about blinking into the wand to really get to the base of their lashes. I've also seen that some coat both back and front of lashes with the wand. Any thoughts or experiences with these techniques? I have fairly short, sparse, straight lashes that point down so finding a technique and a mascara that will hold my curl and dry quickly are key. (5) Any advice for those of us with that lash type? Thank you so much. I've always admired your lashes (#goals, as my preteen would say!) and found this video helpful. As someone with challenging eyelashes, I'm always trying to improve my lash game. I just recently started using a lash serum again, so I'm hopeful that by summertime, my lash problems won't be as bad as they are currently. ❤❤❤

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Hi there! 1- I personally don't wait for the primer to dry. I feel it works easier for the mascara to layer on top when it hasn't completely dried down. 2- For me, a coat is when I have used up all the mascara on the spoolie, sufficiently "coated" my lashes and would need to go back into the tube to get more product. 3 - It will depend on the formula as to how much time you wait. Drier formulas, I like to apply the second coat right away so it doesn't have time to fully dry down. If it does, it is a bit harder to build it up. Wetter formulas, I can do one lash, then the other, and then go back to the first lash for the second coat. 4- You can definitely blink into the wand to help coat the lashes. For me, I find that sometimes I blink too fast, and because of the length of my lashes, it can transfer to the lid in the act of blinking. I sometimes coat the top and bottom of lashes of my clients because I am above them and can access them better. For me to do it personally, I find it transfers, and is a bit messier. 5- For short, straight lashes, I highly recommend Asian mascaras. They are INSANELY waterproof and require a special remover, but they will hold a curl like nothing else. My fave is from the brand Heroine Make. You can get that and the remover for less than $20 total. xoxo

@@MandyDavisMUA Wow, thank you so much!!! This was incredibly helpful. ❤️❤️❤️

[@RaineInKS]

Being able to remove the mascara at the end of the day is just as important to me as how it holds up while it's on. I love how Lancome's Lash Idole mascara makes my lashes look and learned recently that it comes off with just water. Since I learned that it is now my current fav. Not an expert on mascara by far! I loved hearing your recommendations...thanks and God bless!

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Oh for sure! I tried a drugstore one yesterday for the first time, and while I liked the way it looked, it was a nightmare to remove, so I likely won't reach for it again.

[@lauralyndsey]

I have always loved your lashes and how they look. 👀 TY for this!❤

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Thank you!

[@karlaharvey2623]

Good Morning Mandy, thank you so much for sharing an in depth tutorial of Your Lash Routine. I use the Mac on my lower as well. I for sure will p/u the Jane Iredale primer.

[@MandyDavisMUA]

You aer so welcome!

[@LoriDaSilva-wz6mt]

Unrelated to this post but you turned me onto K beauty and it’s so much cheaper. Could you do a list of your faves and how you use them?

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Sure! Are you speaking specifically about makeup from K Beauty?

[@GlitterSparkly]

I’m a gigablack girl at your recommendation! My favorite primer is Lancôme, and my favorite mascara for my top lashes is Super Hero by IT cosmetics. My lash enhancing serum is Babe Lash, but I’m going to try the one you’re currently using. I pitch my mascaras every 2 months. My tell-tale sign to replace my mascara is itchy eyes, and when I’ve tried to make my mascaras last for 3 months I can never quite make it. I use the Urban Decay waterline pencil, but I’m going to try the one from Pixie that you suggest to change it up a bit. Hugs to you, Mandy!

[@nonilady1577]

Hey girl just saw a new eye shadow product in your link! Have you done a review on this brand? I’m so tempted. Fantastic step by step tutorial! Thank you

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Hi there! Which eyeshadow specifically?

[@kt9495]

MAC Gigablack is the only one I’ll use on my lowers also, even when I use a tubing on top. There’s just something about that brush that hits different. I’m tempted to try Lisa Eldridge’s new Kitten Lash for uppers. I wish I could tightline but my eyes are too sensitive. I’ve tried the one you use and pretty much everything else.

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Yes to the gigablack! It's something special for the bottom lashes for sure.

[@susanlynn5159]

I’ve tried many eyelash curlers but the only one that works is Tweezerman rose gold for round eyes. There’s an option for almond shaped, too. This totally changed my mascara game!

[@peachy75019]

My favorite eyelash curler for many years has been the Kevyn Aucoin and you are the first person I've seen on KZbin to recommend it. I recently purchased a rèphr lash curler recommended by another KZbinr and I have to say it is every bit as good as my old favorite KA curler.

[@MandyDavisMUA]

The Rephr ones are great too, and I love that you have the option to choose two sizes with it.

[@beautywithas]

Lately I've been loving the Wonder skin Power'full combined with the L'Oreal Telescopic Lift. I also use the Grande Lash primer. That combo makes my lashes look amazing. 😊

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Awesome...thanks for sharing!

[@lisa9916]

Thanks to you I really like the Scorolash too! I also have been using the Scorobrow, both great results!😊

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Yay! So glad you are loving them too. I have the brow, but I need to get better at applying it consistently.

[@parksbpknit]

Just ordered the scorolash, hope I love, and thanks for the recommendations!

[@MandyDavisMUA]

I hope you do as well!

[@luckieshel]

I love the Chantecaille faux cils longest lash. It is so crazy expensive but it’s the best I’ve found. I wish I could find something more affordable. I’m not into tubing mascaras. I feel that living in a dry climate makes my mascaras dry out quicker.

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Ahh, that is a possibility. I am not in a dry climate, so I can't say, but it does make some sense. I wish the Chantecaille was a bit less too. I like to stock up during their sales.

[@ghernandezsr]

Your Skin looks great! What foundation brand are you wearing. And does any color Of the loreal luminous mascara offer the same results as the burgundy one. 😊

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Thank you! I have all the makeup I have on listed in the description box. This day, I wore a K Beauty cushion. And the L’Oréal voluminous one I showed is the burgundy one. 😉

[@laurenelliott5175]

Mandy, I just learned late last night that there are heated lash curlers. What are your thoughts?

[@kt9495]

I learned a trick from LuluBelle Hale- instead of using a curler, apply your mascara and immediately aim a blow dryer on cool up at your lashes for about 10 sec, doing each eye separately. It works better than curling them imo.

[@MandyDavisMUA]

They personally scare me. I don't like the thought of heat so close to the eye and I always envision burning my lashes off (even though I am sure that isn't a thing).

[@nathaliehofsink5020]

Beautiful ❤ Ty

[@satinswan1979]

Oh, man... I like the lash curlers that have the wider, flat, grippy type handles (similar to the Dior Backstage curler). Too many times I've had the loopy handle ones accidentally flip sideways while curling my lashes and riiiiip!!! there go four or five lashes and river of tears! I'm better able to sandwich the flat handles between my fingers while curling and haven't had the issue.

[@kellywolfe5930]

Great video 💙💛❤💚💜

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Thank you 🤗

[@katherineperez9577]

My prefer are: benefit Roller lashes , YSL ❤ and Ilea easy to clean but Ilea one rain or tears mascara is all over your face

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Great choices!

[@terrymatsusaki9032]

You have beautiful full lips. Blessed! Whiteish glossy lipstick makes you look pale. Think you would look younger with more color. Just a thought but of course you do what you want. Your blush is perfect. Wish I could do that.

[@MandyDavisMUA]

Lol. Well I am pale so….everyone has their opinion, and that’s valid. It is what I like, color isn’t, so I will stick with the pale lips. ❤️

[@countrychick-bx6wl]

Oh good grief now we are supposed to have a lash routine?! I can't keep up with all these "routines"!

[@MandyDavisMUA]

LOL...or you could just call it "putting on your mascara". 😂 However, I am confused as to why you clicked on a video labeled with the word "routine" if you are over all the routines. Have a great day!

[@Gnv-q2m]

@@MandyDavisMUA I appreciate this because even though my eyelash curler lies unused in my drawer, I am never going to add false lashes or perm my lashes but as I’m pushing 60 and I want to maximise what I have!

[@countrychick-bx6wl]

​@MandyDavisMUA I clicked on it because I was curious as to what a "lash routine" was! I thought maybe I was doing something wrong by using a gentle soap to take my mascara off or using a cleaning balm and using a lash serum at night. I love your videos and have learned a lot from you! I bought the Jane Irdale powder foundation because of you and I love it, so thank you! I hope you have a great day as well! 😊
