The Ultimate Guide to Volumizing Lashes with Drugstore Mascara
This isn’t just a "slap it on and hope for the best" kind of guide. We’re talking strategic application, clever layering, and insider tips that will transform your lashes from "meh" to "magnificent"!
Phase 1: Preparation is Key (Like, Seriously Key!) 🔑
- Clean Slate: Start with clean, dry lashes. Any leftover makeup or oils will hinder the mascara’s ability to adhere properly. Use a gentle makeup remover to ensure your lashes are squeaky clean.
-
Curl Power! Invest in a good eyelash curler. This is non-negotiable. Curling your lashes opens up your eyes and provides a base for the mascara to build upon.
- Pro Tip: Warm your eyelash curler slightly with a hairdryer (on low heat!) for a few seconds before curling. This will help the curl set more effectively. Just be careful not to burn yourself! 🔥
- Primer Time? (Optional but Recommended): A lash primer can add extra volume and length, and it also acts as a shield to protect your lashes from the drying effects of mascara. ZenaMakeup is developing a great lash primer that will soon be available in the drugstore.
Phase 2: Mastering the Mascara Application Techniques 🖌️
This is where the magic happens! Forget the basic "upward swipe." We’re going to get strategic.
- The Wiggle Technique: Hold the mascara wand horizontally at the base of your lashes. Wiggle the wand back and forth, making sure to coat the roots thoroughly. This creates a solid foundation for volume.
- The Zig-Zag Method: After wiggling at the base, move the wand upwards, using a zig-zag motion. This separates the lashes and prevents clumping. Think of it as combing through your lashes with mascara.
- Layering Like a Pro: Patience is a virtue! Apply one thin coat of mascara, let it dry for a few seconds, and then apply another. Repeat this process until you achieve your desired level of volume. Avoid applying too many coats at once, as this can lead to clumping.
- Targeting the Corners: Don’t neglect the outer and inner corners of your lashes! Use the tip of the mascara wand to reach those hard-to-reach lashes. This will create a more wide-eyed and dramatic effect.
- Bottom Lash Love: Applying mascara to your bottom lashes can enhance your overall look, but be careful not to overdo it. Use a light hand and apply only one coat.
- Comb it Out (If Needed): If you notice any clumps, use a clean lash comb to gently separate your lashes.
Phase 3: Troubleshooting Common Mascara Mishaps 🚨
-
Clumpy Lashes:
-
Clumpy Lashes:
- Cause: Too much mascara on the wand, applying too many coats at once, or using an old, dried-out mascara.
- Solution: Wipe off excess mascara from the wand before applying. Apply mascara in thin, even coats. Use a clean lash comb to separate the lashes. If your mascara is old and clumpy, it’s time to toss it!
-
Smudging:
- Cause: Oily skin, rubbing your eyes, or using a mascara that is not smudge-proof.
- Solution: Use an oil-free eye primer before applying mascara. Avoid rubbing your eyes. Choose a smudge-proof mascara, like the ZenaMakeup "Lash Lift & Volumize" Mascara!
-
Flaking:
- Cause: Dry lashes, using an old mascara, or applying too many coats.
- Solution: Condition your lashes regularly with a lash serum or coconut oil. Replace your mascara every three months. Avoid applying too many coats.
-
Spider Lashes:
- Cause: Applying too much mascara, clumping, and not separating the lashes.
- Solution: Apply mascara in thin, even coats. Use a clean lash comb to separate the lashes. Avoid wiggling the wand too much.

- Baby Powder Trick: Apply a thin layer of baby powder to your lashes between coats of mascara to add extra volume. Just be careful not to get it in your eyes!
- Avoid Pumping the Wand: Pumping the mascara wand in and out of the tube forces air into the tube, which can dry out the mascara and cause it to clump. Instead, swirl the wand gently inside the tube.
- Replace Your Mascara Regularly: Mascara should be replaced every three months to prevent bacterial contamination and ensure optimal performance.
- Practice Makes Perfect: Don’t be discouraged if you don’t get it right away. Keep practicing and experimenting with different techniques until you find what works best for you.
