Mascara presents a challenge to people with oilier skin, and those who have extra-straight or super-short lashes. Get awkwardly close to a mirror and examine how your eyelashes grow—if they jut out and appear completely curl-free, our solution lies therein. By administering a curl at the lash line, you’ll lift lashes up and away from your eye area where mascara-shifting oil exists. Some people use a spoon and their thumb (Google it), while others prefer the refinement of a full tool kit, like Joe Fresh‘s Eye Grooming Kit ($10, joe.ca) to carefully lift and separate their lashes into shape.
