Finding the PERFECT MASCARA!!!!!! Most women probably agree that a good mascara is absolutely essential to any beauty routine. Or at least thats what makeup companies think and want you to think too. If the sheer and utterly confusing amount of mascaras on the market are any indication. There are volumising, thickening, lengthening formulas, bristle, plastic, curved, and straight wands. Ones that de-clump, ones that purportedly help your lashes grow longer--theres even mascaras that vibrate. But with so many options on the table, how does one even begin to choose the right mascara for herself or him? To add even more confusion to the matter, pop culture and high fashion are sort of at odds over the issue of lashes lately. While there are celebs (hi, Kim Kardashian) who wont leave the house without three sets of falsies per eye..! So how do you choose a mascara thats natural yet provides some drama when you want to go there? • What matters more: Formula or Wand? Both are equally as important. Mascaras are a marriage of formula and applicator. Brush shape impacts delivery of the formula to the lash, and enables us to reach the smallest lash and to be convenient and easy to use. There are two types of wands now, the traditional bristle brushes and the more modern molded brushes. Neither one is necessarily better. having tried almost every mascara on the market i know this is down to personal choice..I recommend trying several to get a feel for which one delivers the best result FOR YOU. • Brush shape: Just like hair brushes, different brushes are designed to provide a different styling effect. For mascaras that may mean full charge volume or highly defined lashes. Mascaras that claim to be curling often have curved brushes, and lengthening brushes tend to be straight and narrow with more widely spaced, almost comb-like bristles. For volume, look for thicker brushes with denser bristles. In general, brushes with shorter bristles are easier to control. • Application tricks: Curl the lashes really well prior to application using a good eyelash curler, and please use with caution when you are unfamiliar with this tool, then apply mascara starting from the roots of the top lashes, moving the wand first side to side then upwards toward the end of the lashes,... For an even application, put the wand in the mascara tube again before doing the second eye ( DONT PUMP THE WAND) This will pump air into the tube and dry out the product quicker..!. Then apply a conservative amount of mascara and let it dry completely before applying another coat. Use as many coats as you feel comfortable with. • Speaking of curling, do curling mascaras really work? Not really. You just have to manage your expectations about curling mascara--it realistically cant do the same things that a curling apparatus can. But it can help your pre-curled lashes retain a curl better. • Bottom lash mascara--yes or no? Yes, always!...It doesnt have to be a lot, but it makes the eyes look bigger. But use caution if youre a bit older. I think for women of a certain age, keeping mascara to your top lashes only can have a very lifting effect. You should also remember that a lot of brushes will potentially deposit too much product to bottom lashes, so use a light touch. • What about flaking? The bane of every mascara wearers existence is the dreaded flake. If your mascara is flaking, its time to get a new one--it means its too old or its cheap ingredients!. It could also mean that youre using the wrong formula for what youre trying to achieve. Flaking tends to happen when you over-apply a thin formula mascara trying to build volume, rather than using a smaller amount of a volume-building formula.
