Things you need to know about Mascara
When men are asked the first thing they notice about a woman, it is usually their eyes. Honestly speaking, men look at other ‘things’ as well, but eyes are always at or near the top of the list.
Mascara is perhaps the most important but difficult type of makeup to apply. Mascara is extremely useful because there are not many other products that can give as stunning effect as mascara.
There are regular or water soluble mascaras, which can be removed easily with normal cleansing wipes.
Waterproof or water resistant mascaras that do not wash off easily are great for monsoon and summer. It is the best choice for individuals with watery eyes and swimmers, as it does not melt away with sweat and water. Most water-resistant formulas are so processed that they do not smudge or flake easily.
Mascara is an essential item for natural day makeup to glamorized party makeup.
Many think choosing the right mascara (one that produce beautiful, thick, long and well separated lashes) is all about choosing the right brand, but this is not necessarily true. The mascara brush is at least as important as the brand of makeup. The mascara brush is so important that rather than patenting their mascara formulations, many top cosmetics companies actually patent their brushes, instead.
What type of brush do you need?
To achieve the thick lashed look your ideal brush has bristles that are fairly close together. If you have sparse looking lashes and want to thicken them up than this brush is for you.
longer looking lashes – choose a brush with longer bristles. The extra length will help you extend the tips of your lashes, for a luscious, long lash look.
to reduce lash clumping your mascara brush should have bristles hat are spaced quite widely apart.
Note: this is the exact opposite of the type of brush that thickens your lashes
for even coverage across your entire lash line, go for a curved mascara brush. This helps achieve more even coverage as they can coat more lashes at the same time.
There are so many different brush types these days, it seems like it is difficult to achieve lashes that have it all.
These days you can buy replacement mascara wands at your local beauty store, so if your favourite mascara formula comes with a brush that does not suit you, it is not too difficult to locate a replacement brush that will help you achieve the look you want.
Here are some quick tips to think about the next time you are buying mascara...
if your lashes are brittle and prone to shredding, or you have sensitive eyes, try a hypoallergenic mascara formulation, or one which contains lash conditioners to help your lashes stay healthy.
Try lengthening mascara if your lashes are thick and short, or thickening mascara if your lashes are sparse.
Waterproof mascara is a must if you are attending a potentially emotional event such as wedding, or if you are planning to swim. Ideal for holidays.
EXPERT BEAUTY ADVICE....
mascara tubes should be replaced every three months
pumping the mascara wand repeatedly into the tube dries out the mascara more quickly.
applying the mascara to the outer corner lashes more then the inner corner ones, highlights the eyes as the focal point of your face and adds a dramatic touch to your makeup.
to get the best curl from your lashes, use a warm eye lash curler. Use your blow dryer to warm up your eye lash curler, make sure you test it first with your finger to make sure its not too hot as your eyes is such a sensitive area. Using this technique gives you at least 60 degrees of a curve on the lashes.
