Although knowing how to copy the spectacular trends seen on the red carpet – such as the ‘arrow effect’ or animal-inspired makeup — is an interesting topic, sometimes it is the small details that make the difference. For example, knowing how to rebuild blushes or bronzer powders that break as if nothing had happened, or the very fast gesture with which to completely erase a mascara stain from the face. The latter has been revealed by the youtuber Chloe Morello, who has shared what her technique is to eliminate in a few seconds the typical smudges that are made with the applicator. The first surprise that you will get when reading it is that you do not have to try to remove the stain immediately: the trick is to let it dry completely.
Never again will you have to remove your makeup and start over
It is a very common mistake and has nothing to do with having a good or bad pulse. Putting on your eyelashes and having the applicator move a few millimeters in any direction is very easy and the first instinctive reaction when it happens is to wet a cotton pad with makeup remover and rub it over the stain. The bad thing is that, in addition to the stain, you also drag any product underneath (makeup base, concealer, eyeshadow, eyeliner, etc.), and you have to reapply them again at the risk of not matching with the tone and texture of the rest of the skin.
Chloe Morello, Australian youtuber who has been uploading videos to a channel where she has accumulated more than 2.5 million subscribers for years, has shared the trick with which to remove any mascara stain without removing makeup at all. You just have to let the product dry completely (it usually takes about three minutes) and then, with the help of a small brush like the one used to comb your eyebrows, remove the stain with a gentle gesture. The formula is removed completely dry and you will avoid having to start over.
