Quick Tip: Mascara Spoon Trick

Jan 29, 2013 at 6:00am by Michelle Phan

Hi everyone,

Applying a clean layer of mascara to the bottom lash line isn’t always easy, and it can definitely get messy. If you’re in need of a quick tip for preventing raccoon eyes, look no further! All you need is a plastic spoon.

Place the spoon right under your eye so that the lower lashes are sitting on top of the spoon. Then take your mascara and swipe it across the lashes. Instead of getting product on the under eye area, it’ll just get all over the spoon!

The lower lashes help balance out the eye so it is important not to neglect them. This trick is great because it lines your lower lashes a bit and gives them great definition.

What kind of beauty problems do you need tips on fixing? Let me know in the comments section!

      simple tricks like this are so helpful and saves time!

      another helpful idea to restore skin quickly; tea baths! tea is so good for you, and now, instead of drinking it, let your skin indulge in an antioxidant rich tea bath. this purifying trick will give your natural glow back; especially if you travel frequently, spend a lot of nights in a hotel, exposed to smog and pollution, stress, etc... keep skin naturally bright:

      Can you show me how to keep my eyelids from twitching when I do my eyeliner? It always messes me up when my lids spasm all the time, and the only way I can think of would be pulling my eyelid taught, but I don't want to do that.

      Thanks so much!!!

      Can you help me to avoid eyes' concealer, which is easily smudge? Sometimes, the corner of my eyes gets sweaty because of the hot weather condition.

      You give a lot of advise on what to wear. I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on what flatters different bodies (short, tall, small breasts, big breasts, skinny legs, thick legs, etc) and styles that look best on a body with a combination of all those.

      Thanks!

      Much love,

      Hi, Michelle!
      It would be awesome if you could show something for us with more meat on us what clothes to wear that flatters or conceal certain areas, such as love handles or something like that?

      Thank you !

      Love

      Johanna
