1. Before you apply your mascara apply a lash curler. Though it sounds a little tricky, it's fairly simple once you get the knack of it.

2. Place your lashes on the pad of the curler without pinching any skin on your cheeks. Hold for ten counts and repeat on the other side. According to her, this is a very important step which makes a huge difference.

3. Use a mascara of your choice. Shraddha recommends the MAC Haute and Naughty Too Black mascara.

4. Apply the mascara by moving your wand in an upward, zig-zag motion so that the product reaches all your lashes. Make sure you don't forget the inner corners. 

5. Never pump the mascara. This makes bacteria go into the tube and also causes your product to dry sooner. When you do need the extra product, just twist the wand instead. 

6. In case you have any lumps, take a dry wand and comb through your lashes. 

7. Don't forget to apply some product carefully on your lower lashes as well.
