Ready to get lashes that turn heads? Here’s the trick you need.

Let’s face it: big, bold lashes are always in style. But if you’re not into the hassle of lash extensions or the tricky dance of applying falsies, there’s a simple and fun solution for you—mascara cocktailing. It’s all about layering different mascaras to get that perfect blend of length, volume, and lift. Think of it as mixing up a cocktail, but for your lashes.

Here’s how you can master the art of mascara cocktailing and give your lashes a look they’ll never forget.

What Exactly Is Mascara Cocktailing?

Mascara cocktailing is just a fancy way of saying you layer two or more mascaras with different effects to create your dream lashes. Want sky-high length and dramatic volume? This hack’s got you covered.

How Many Layers Are Too Many?

Honestly, there’s no “one size fits all” here. It’s all about experimenting until you find what works for you. Some days, two layers might be just right; other days, you might want to go all in. Just make sure to apply each coat carefully to avoid clumping.

Should You Go Lengthening First or Volumizing?

Here’s the secret: always start light. Begin with a lengthening mascara to define and separate your lashes, then follow it up with a volumizing formula for that wow-factor thickness. Trust us, the results will speak for themselves.

How to Layer Like a Pro

1. Start with a Primer
   Begin by prepping your lashes with a primer like L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Lash Primer (available at Vonalzo). This not only conditions your lashes but also helps the mascara stay put longer.
2. Pick Your Mascaras
   Decide on your combo. Want definition? Go for a lengthening formula. Need volume? Add a thickening mascara to the mix.
3. Apply with Care
   Always start from the roots and wiggle your way up to the tips. This ensures every lash gets coated evenly.
4. Build It Up
   Once your first layer is dry, add your volumizing mascara. Go slow and steady to avoid clumps.
5. Don’t Forget the Bottom Lashes
   Finish off with a light swipe on your bottom lashes. Just one coat will do—no one wants heavy bottom lashes weighing them down.

Why Give It a Try?

Mascara cocktailing is like having a magic wand for your lashes. It’s easy, fun, and gives you complete control over your look. Whether you’re heading to brunch or a night out, you can customize your lashes to match your vibe.

And the best part? All the mascaras we mentioned are stocked at Vonalzo, so you can grab everything you need in one place.
