QuestionWhat are some common mistakes people make when they're putting on mascara?Franklin (Frankie) Sanderson is a Makeup Artist and Stylist and the Founder of TheStudeo, a styling business based in Washington DC that specializes in hairstyling, makeup, and personal image consulting services. He specializes in hair extensions, chemical services such as highlighting, Balayage, Japanese straightening, keratin treatments, and designer cuts. He has a BFA in Fashion Design from Virginia Commonwealth University and has trained at the L'Oreal Soho Academy, TIGI, Vidal Sassoon, Redken, and Wella. His clients include Nicole Kidman, Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Tina Fey, Jane Lynch, and Alicia Keys.The biggest mistake is using the wrong formulation or brush for their lashes. For instance, you don't want to use a big teddy bear brush on the fine lashes under your eye, because you'll just end up with black marks under your eyes. There are also formulas that do different things, like giving the eyelash more texture, length, or curl.

QuestionI sometimes pick off my mascara, so I don't have as many eyelashes anymore. I've stopped; what is the fastest way to make my eyelashes grow?Cecilia FloresTop AnswererYour eyelashes won't grow back fully for a very long time; eyelashes don't grow very fast at all. The best way you could help them grow is by using castor oil, but you won't start seeing any real results for a month or two.

QuestionI have very rough eyelashes and even when I comb them they are very rough and all over the place. What should I do?Cecilia FloresTop AnswererI would say that your eyelashes are very dry. Stay away from any and all makeup in the eye orbital area (foundation, powder, concealer, eye shadow, eye liner, mascara, false lashes) because you'll have to remove it and that takes out some lashes. Try moisturizing your lashes with Vaseline or coconut oil every morning and night.

Alternatively, use fake lashes.

QuestionI have dandruff on my eyelashes. I clean them very often, but this doesn't help. Can you please give some suggestion as to what should I do?Community Answerit may be that your eyelashes are very dry. This can be from having dry eyes, dry skin, flaky skin, rubbing your eyes too much, wearing drying or expired mascara. Try using a moisturizing hair serum, rubbing it onto a spoolie, then brushing that onto your eyelashes like mascara, before bed each night. This should add moisture and lift to your lashes and solve the dry flakes.

QuestionHow do I get perfect eyelashes with mascara and falsies?Cecilia FloresTop AnswererYou don't even need falsies! The night before, apply coconut or olive oil to your lashes.

Let it dry, then apply the second coat. If you need to, bring your lash curler with you as you go through your day.

QuestionWill curling your eyelashes after putting mascara on ruin them?Bacon_hair8535 NoobTop AnswererCurling your lashes with mascara on could potentially cause damage to your lashes if you're not careful because the curler can stick to the mascara and pull on your lashes.
