Nothing is more annoying than having lush, long eyelashes … that bat against your lenses with every blink. To fix this problem, every makeup artist we talked to recommended curling your lashes. Not only will it keep your lashes up, but it’ll also open your eyes, giving you that wide-awake look.

As for a type of mascara, Cruz suggests thickening, not lengthening, mascara. “You’ll have a broader lash without the worry of the lashes touching your glasses,” he says. Prior also recommends applying most of the mascara at the roots of the lashes rather than the tips. Coating the tips can make the lashes heavy and they may lose their curl.
