Reddit user Tintarelladiluna will never go back after discovering the simple, eye-popping mascara method.
“I learned the mascara card trick from a very old [YouTube] “I’ve been making videos for years and years and I still haven’t found another tool or technique that works as well or better,” she said.
She clearly used her cards for more than just games.
“The card trick involves using a business card to pull up your eyelid while applying mascara,” she says.
“This allows you to apply it all the way to the root and deposits any excess product on the map instead of the lid,” she continues.
She also made it clear that it won’t ruin your eyeshadow look.
However, you should be more careful if you use another eye product.
“The edge of the card comes just above your lash line, so it will disrupt your liner if it’s not dry or if it smudges,” she said.

She acknowledged that people who suffer from oily skin around the eyes may have a “different experience.”
“Eye shadow clings to my skin type for some reason,” she said.
She also wants you to be aware of a potential problem that can occur when using the business card tip.
“This technique really opens your eyes as you do it,” she said.
This means “extra room to accidentally poke your eyeball with the mascara wand.”
She noted that the best way to perfect the method was to “keep practicing.”
It seemed she wasn’t the only one who knew the secret behind applying mascara.

“I’ve been doing this for like ten years!” said another Redditor.
They even had their own beauty trick up their sleeve.
“I keep thick tags from new clothes so I always have a fresh supply of cards to use,” they add.
“I just bought a handful of clothes from Target and I am so happy with them, haha!”
Another user wanted to practice the technique for an important occasion.
“I’ll try, I have a wedding this weekend,” they responded.
