Make Sure to Get Both Sides
Most of us only coat the underside of our lashes — but did you know you can do both sides? Making sure to add an extra coat to the top of your lashes adds some definite oomph to your look.

Heat Your Mascara
If your mascara is clumpy and difficult to apply, warming it up a little will actually help with the consistency. All you have to do is set your favorite tube in a cup of hot water for a little bit, and you should be good to go.

Heat Your Eyelash Curler
As long as you're heating your mascara, you can also heat up your eyelash curler ... using your blow dryer. It'll turn your lash curler into a mini curling iron, which will give you a longer-lasting curl. All the better to douse with curl-enhancing mascara, right?
