Sometimes no matter how much you try not to, it’s easy to be heavy-handed with your mascara wand and end up with lashes that look like those cringe-worthy spider legs.
Even when you attempt to add just a little bit of length, the result seems to revert back to looking like, well, a certain eight-legged insect.
If you want your wand to break out of that web, make sure to focus on lifting and separating the lashes so as to avoid making them too thick or too heavy.
Read on for five tips and tricks that mature women can use to make their lashes look naturally voluminous.

Applying a light coat of mascara will stop that spider look in its tracks, so being mindful of how much you’re putting on can go a long way. If you do accidentally get a bit heavy-handed, use a mascara comb to do away with any excess.
Of course - this also means you have to pick a mascara that does not rely on layering to do its job. For example, PrimeLash Mascara gives you up to 10x length & volume in 2 clean coats.

Wiggling the brush at the base of the lashes is known to create a bit of volume by distributing product evenly across lashes -- especially at the base of the follicles, which are responsible for the impression of “thickness” and volume.
Wiggling the wand also separates the lashes so that each one is fully coated with mascara.
If you’re worried that wiggling the wand might accidentally poke your eye out (very possible), PrimeLash Mascara has you covered.
Its applicator boasts bristles that go from short to long. The short end gets at the tiniest of lashes and the long end catches and coats the fluttery edges of thin lashes. Wiggle away!

We’re not saying you need to lash out at black mascara, but opting for brown or navy blue can give fairer skin mature beauties more of a flattering look.
Brown mascara - especially a rich, woodsy color - as opposed to a watered down milk chocolate shade is the perfect, discreet lift and elongation post 50 lashes need on grocery runs and at the gym. Why go nude …. When brown is divine?
Navy - Hmmm… This isn’t your 80’s hideous blue. Think deep sapphire toned pigments that dry down to a soft, muted but excitingly full color. One that somehow looks more real black than black mascara -- for women with blue/green eyes or very cool toned complexions.

“I have started purchasing the black & brown mascaras about a month or so ago as I have been looking for a great mascara that lifts & separates my eyelashes all day & night long. After giving Prime a try - I am sold - no longer looking as I have now found the perfect mascara. Thank you Prime - my search is finally over!”

Applying mascara to just your outer lashes can make for a subtle and natural look. To get the look; simply apply mascara lashes to the outer third of the eye and then use a light touch when applying to the inner lashes.
Here is a video from Wandering Viking, trying out different pro (but easy) ways of enhancing what your mama gave you - with navy mascara!

Yeah we get you, easier said than done.
A hydrating serum-base mascara works wonders plumping up dehydrated, stubby lashes into drool worthy beauties. It can also coax new lash growth.
But nothing like pairing it with an intense, water resistant eyeliner to add more soldiers who’ll defend your crown of a lash queen!
Here’s how to do that:
Invest in a quality eyeliner. Ensure that the pigments are safe for use and won’t bother your sensitive, graceful eyes.
Take the liner to your lash line and draw a stroke of crisp pigment very close to where the roots of your lashes are.
Smudge it ever so lightly… for a diffused look and abundant (lash) feel.
It is imperative that the eyeliner you use is long-stay, yet not water-proof. The waxes in water-proof formulations cause more lash damage than good.
We know you’ve been craving a sleek, intense liner experience in pro-age shades!
And now it’s time to live it.
