Have you ever felt like applying mascara with a regular wand is just not enough sometimes? I experience this quite often because my lashes tend to dry up and droop throughout the day (womp womp). That’s why you may want to think about applying your mascara in a new and innovative way — with a fan brush. This not only increases your mascara coverage, it also keeps your lashes looking lifted.
“Applying mascara with a fan brush allows for more control of the product,” says NYC makeup artist Justine Sweetman. “I love it for soft, natural looking eyelashes or as a finishing coat on falsies. The brush is also great for subtly enhancing bottom lashes.” And Sweetman is right — it adds just the right amount of enhancement without making the lashes appear too clunky. NYC makeup artist Kasey Spickard agrees: “Using a fan brush will save you from messing up all your hard work while giving you full, defined lashes from base to tip,” he says. And it’s actually not as hard as you might think.
