APPLYING mascara is something most of us reckon we’ve mastered by now – after all, it’s been a staple in our beauty routines since teenage years.
But according to one make-up whizz, you’ve probably been doing it all wrong – and there’s a way that promises more volume and extra length.
The beauty guru, Ali Andreea (@aliandreeamakeup), from Paris, France, claimed there’s an easy way to improve the look – and it’s all about knowing how to use the wand to its maximum potential.
Showing the demo in a video uploaded on TikTok, the brunette said that most make-up enthusiasts tend to blink whilst dragging the wand in an upwards motion.
But whilst this is not necessarily wrong, a simple hack will make your lashes more fluttery and intense.
”Take your mascara wand and you place it right at the base of your lashes.

”You twist the brush as you slowly blink.”
This, Ali explained to her 115,000 followers, will help the product deposit on your lash line, making them appear thicker and with more volume.
”By doing so, you are pushing your lashes from the very base and you will give length.
”Do you see how much longer and fuller these are?”
Demonstrating the difference between the two techniques, the guru urged fellow make-up enthusiasts to give the hack a go: ”You have got to try this today!”
However, despite her praising the trick, not everyone was convinced – it seems like the majority of viewers preferred the appearance of the ”wrong” method.

One reckoned: ”But the other side looks better, more natural.”
Another agreed, writing: ”the first eye is more clean and the second looks like a lot of product.”
But there were also plenty of those who not only thanked Ali but also claimed they’ve been doing this for quite some time now.
