Mascara is one of the most popular makeup products out there but with so many options it can be tricky to know what exactly to go for.
But as with everything in the world of beauty, what suits one person will not necessarily suit another.
To find out what type of mascara your lashes could benefit from, have a read at this basic mascara guide.
Lengthening Mascara – Lengthening mascara is for those who have short or straight lashes. Not only does it add length to lashes by leaving fibres on them but it also defines and shapes the lashes making it the ideal mascara for a night out.
Volumizing Mascara – This type of mascara adds fullness to lashes which means it suits those with thinner lashes. It is also good if you don’t have that many eyelashes as it makes them look fuller and thus more striking.
Defining Mascara – Suitable for pretty much all types, defining mascara adds volume, creates length and defines lashes. It will also give your lashes a nice shape without looking over the top and thus is ideal to wear all day every day.
Curling Mascara – For lashes that need shape and definition curling mascara is the best option. It will help to add the illusion of volume by defining the lashes and will also open your eyes up. Curling mascara is also one of the best for a long-lasting effect.
Waterproof Mascara – If you are one of these people who is always on the go or has watery eyes (it is a real thing by the way) then it’s about time you pick up a tube of waterproof mascara. Like the defining one it will fulfil the basic duties of mascara with an added waterproof element.
Don’t worry if you have thin lashes and are also on the go all the time, it is possible to get waterproof versions of most mascaras.
What are you waiting for? Open up those beautiful eyes of yours!
