Women have two weapons: tears and mascara. These words are attributed to Marilyn Monroe. Modern girls are more likely to strike on the spot - take the same waterproof mascara.

 

What makes it a good mascara?

 

The largest cosmetic concerns offer products focused on any needs of the female audience, promising volume, the effect of "false eyelashes", curling, perfect separation, creating more and more unusual shapes of brushes and improving formulations.

 

In the luxury mascara segment, products from Christian Dior, Lancome, Clinique, Estee Lauder, Urban Decay have the best reputation. As a rule, their products are distinguished by innovative developments, they use high-quality polymers and caring components. Most luxury mascaras have passed ophthalmological control, which means that they will not harm your health and will not cause allergies.

 

A high-quality mass market is located in the price category from 350 to 1000-1500 rubles. Here the choice is huge, but the most positive ratings are from the brands Bourjois, Maybelline, Max Factor, L'Oreal. It is only worth noting that not all carcasses from well-known manufacturers are equally good: the next advertised novelty can turn out to be either a really good product or a complete failure.

 

In the inexpensive segment, you can also find real pearls: mascaras from the brands Vivienne Sabo, EVA Mozaic, Rimmel and, of course, Belarusian products Belita-Vitex, Relouis, LUXVISAGE. They are of acceptable quality and suitable for daily use. True, not everyone can boast of durability and perfect application. It is interesting that manufacturers are constantly improving the quality (and, accordingly, the price), so part of "Belarus" is gradually going beyond the budget segment.

 

Separately, it is worth highlighting Asian carcasses (The Saem, Kawaii, etc.). Their popularity is only growing so far, but many girls have already noted the favorable ratio of affordable price and excellent quality.

 

What are the features of the best mascaras?

 

The types of mascara depend on the properties of a particular product. Of course, the industry does not stand still and has learned to combine 2in1, 3in1. But in fact there will be only one effect; which one - the brush will tell. Choose according to its shape:

 

• Lengthening mascara - sparse hairs on the brush, all the same length;
• Volumetric mascara - the brush looks like a brush; many hairs, they are of different lengths;
• Butterfly effect mascara - twisting with a curved brush;
• Colored mascara - everything is clear with it, the pigment is immediately noticeable. The colorless mascara has a gel-like texture. It is often used for eyelashes and eyebrows at the same time; look for the label you want.
• Waterproof mascara - brush of any shape; composition matters. As a rule, it has polymers to protect the pigment in contact with any water. The tool envelops like a film - therefore, after application, the eyes need special care. Remove makeup only with a special lotion, and nourish your eyelashes with castor / burdock oil. And never go to bed in makeup! Otherwise, after 30 years, the skin around the eyes will “give out” a bad habit.

 

What is a mascara Primer?

Primer can help make them as long and separated as possible, for this you need to apply it with gentle combing movements before applying mascara and allow it to dry a little. Everything, then you can apply your favorite colored mascara and admire the result.

 

For the latter, by the way, there is a separate product that bears the same name. In fact, it is a degreaser, and it must be applied to natural eyelashes before artificial ones are glued. Be careful when using primer for eyelash extensions, as it contains alcohol, which should be avoided in contact with the mucous membrane of the eye.

 

The base for mascara can be used both for its intended purpose and separately, as a means to strengthen eyelashes. In combination with ordinary care, the effect exceeds all expectations.

How To Find The Best mascara For Your Needs

 

When choosing a mascara, it is important to consider your lash type and needs. Whether you want a longer, fuller, or curled look, this information will help you decide which type of formula and brush type you should buy.

 

First look at your lashes in the mirror and think about what you want from the mascara. How do you want your eyelashes? Thick? Spiked? Long? Feathered? Start here. Then rate how you would describe your own natural lashes. The combination of these two ideas should lead you to the type of mascara you would like to focus on.

 

Many factors must be taken into account at the same time:

 

• texture and plasticity;
• carcass density;
• combination of waxes in the recipe.

 

The mascara should be long-lasting, but not smudged. In general, the same, but with mother-of-pearl buttons. And do not forget about the quality of the pigment (it is the pigment that is responsible for the color of the mascara), about film formers so that the mascara is resistant, choose the right preservative, because the eyes are a sensitive area ... Do you think that's it?

 

Further, it is important which package: one has internal “shoulders”, the other does not, which means that a mass of different density will behave differently when you take out the brush. And of course, "make friends" mascara with a brush. Contrary to many opinions, they must exist in tandem, and the brush is always matched to a specific carcass, and this achieves the effect promised by the manufacturer.

 

By the way, its properties may depend on the color of the mascara! Pigment is a powder that differs greatly depending on the manufacturer and composition, and it behaves differently in ink. Colored mascara is very difficult to make with the same characteristics as black ink in terms of volume and plasticity.”

 

Now you understand that it is possible to create an all-in-one mascara (for example, lengthening, volume and definition in one product), but it will not be cheap. And not just. Therefore, only experienced development chemists can do it.”
