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?

Don't Forget to Tightline
Tightlining your eyes can actually make your lashes look fuller, which is a great way to subtly boost your mascara game. An eyeliner specially formulated for the waterline like Urban Decay's 24/7 Waterline Eye Pencil, $20, is great for the job.

Prime Your Lashes
Priming your lashes can actually make a huge difference in keeping your mascara on your lashes. It can really help your mascara go the extra mile, plus some formulas even help to condition your lashes, which can help them be healthier in the long run. Estee Lauder Lash Primer Plus, $26, is a favorite amongst TotalBeauty.com readers, in case you're looking for a new formula.

Layer Multiple Formulas
If you love different mascaras for different reasons, why not combine them to make a super mascara? All you have to do is add a volumizing formula like Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara, $23, to a lengthening formula like CoverGirl Clump Crusher Mascara by LashBlast, $7.99, and you've totally got it made in the shade.
