There is no doubt that mascara
has evolved into an essential eye make up from its origin in early Egypt. Today
a woman who is not familiar with this is unheard of as mascara has found its
way into the vanity bag of every woman as a necessity or a must have. Available
in a variety of forms and colours, choosing the perfect mascara can be
confusing. What are the different formulae of mascara and what is the
difference between each of these?
A favourite among most women is
the lengthening mascara. It has thick bristles which help in the application of
mascara on the tips of the lashes, allowing the user to get more mascara on the
lashes. Thickening mascara products on the other hand contain a thicker formula
of silicone and wax that coat lashes making them appear thick and luscious.
Waterproof mascara is another popular formula as it contains special synthetic
formulae that repel moisture. However, these can be harsh on the eye lashes;
therefore proper care should be given.
Here are some of the best tips
for applying mascara that guarantee perfect lashes.
Step 1: With a
variety of mascara available, choosing the ideal one that is appropriate for
each occasion is a must. Lengthening mascara is the best choice for the day
time, while thickening mascara is recommended for nights out.
Step 2: It is
also important to pick the colour that suits you the best. For dark eye lashes,
dark brown or black mascara can be used. Choosing light brown mascara is ideal
for red or blonde eye lashes for a casual look and dark brown for a night out.
Step 3: pull
the wand out of the tube carefully in one motion so as to prevent air from
entering into the tube which causes the mascara to dry out. To ensure an
application that is smooth, make sure that both the wand and the edge of the
tube are clean.
Step 4: place
the mascara wand under the upper eye lashes and move it upwards in a zig-zag
motion so that the eye lashes are separated. Apply a second coat if necessary
and make sure not to blink for a few seconds until the mascara is dry.
Step 5: use
less mascara on the lower lashes. Start applying at the lower eye lid and
slowly pull down.
Step 6: it is
a must to remove any mascara around the eye using cotton.
Women dream of eye lashes that
are long, thick, voluminous that last all day.
