The New Makeup Tool Trend: Myrabelle Mascara Shield

Applying mascara to your own face or someone else can be intimidating. It goes without saying that the eye area is extremely sensitive and any products or application techniques of shadows or mascara should be executed safely. If only there was a tool to help us achieve the perfect lashes or tight eye liner we crave!

One main trend observed at The Makeup Show NYC 2009 was tight eyeliner and emphasis on the lashes. In order to perform a tight line on the upper and lower rim of the eye, you need to gently pull the eye upwards (top liner) or downwards (bottom liner) with your finger to expose the membrane and shade the area precisely. The same technique can be used for applying mascara to the root of the lashes for both top and bottom.

If only there was an easier way to accomplish a clean line and be able to paint the entire lash? One vendor at the show had a solution, and a tool! Myrabelle Mascara Shield is a wand-style tool designed to assist with tight liner or mascara applications. By placing the shield under top and bottom lashes, it exposes the membrane as well as those pesky eye lash roots so that you may get the most precise eye makeup application! It’s simple, easy to use, and wipes clean in an instant with soap and water or eye make-up remover.

Application techniques using a Myrabelle Shield for mascara and tight eye liner (perfect for smoky eyes!):

• Place the shield along the top lash line and gently press. The entire lash from root to tip is now exposed. Apply mascara as usual.

• For a smoky eye look, take a brown or black eye liner and gently rim the exposed membrane of the eye. Wipe the shield clean before moving on to the bottom lashes.

• The same techniques of application are used for the bottom lashes. After gently pressing underneath the bottom lash line, exposing the bottom membrane and lash roots, follow the previous steps for both mascara and tight eye liner.
