When you put the wand into the tube, twirl it instead of pulling it in and out when getting more mascara. This helps with clumping!

Make sure you are wiggling the mascara wand from root to tip and you are never bringing the wand straight out. The bristles need to be able to brush through the lashes and by rocking the wand at the base and then flicking out to the tips will optimize separation and prevent clumping! Try that!

When my mascara starts to clump, its usually because it's getting dry, and I put a few drops of saline solution in the tube, mix it up with the wand then it goes on really smoothly! I saw this fix on Pinterest and it worked for me!

Real Techniques has a great eyelash/brow comb. Apply the mascara then brush though your lashes, apply again if desired. Works great!

A toothpick can help separate too!

For volume start the brush by the base of the lash and wiggle it up, this prevents clumps and gets all the lashes.

Ulta sells a brush for you eye lashes and eye brows! I think they work great. They are cheap and are portable I recommend them to anyone with clumpy mascara! You'll love it

I use the same mascara and after if it starts to clump i take a needle and separate the lashes and it works great!

I just put on the mascara and I get my eyebrow groomer that has a brush on one side and a little comb on the other and I use the comb side and seperate my lashes. And sometimes I just "de-clump" with my fingers lol

I love L'oreal Telescopic mascara too. The unique wand helps me get my shorter lashes that is closer to the inner eye.

I notice it clumbing at times when I put it on, but I also do notice that when I run it through the same spot, the wand declumps the lashes.

The wand takes getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's so easy! Just curl the lashes, and apply two coats of mascara, and done. =)

Ooohhh I like that blue mascara! Any idea if it's that intense on a person?

I'm trying out Rimmel Glam'Eyes mascara at the moment. I like the wand. Formula's quite wet (if that makes sense), so proceed with caution.

Also like Hard Candy Ginormous Lash. Teeny tiny bristles on the wand but I like that. :)

Before either of those, my go-to was Maybelline Great Lash.

Which one? The orange or purple tube? Isn't there a yellow tube too?

Falsies is quite a difficult mascara. Very clumpy and sticky in general. I don't get the hype. Lashblast is my absolute favorite!
