Beyond the basics: Exploring different types of mascara
A common component of many makeup routines, mascara is not a one-size-fits-all item. In the makeup industry, mascaras come in a variety of textures, formulations, forms, and sizes. Presently, an intriguing variety of mascaras are available to suit a wide range of requirements. You can get the desired eye look with the right mascara. For that, make yourself familiar with the different mascaras.
Lengthening mascara
Opt for a mascara that prioritizes length over volume if your lashes are naturally short and sparse. This type of mascara usually features denser bristles, and you need to apply two or more coats for maximum length. Applying mascara causes its fibers to adhere to the tips of the lash, creating the illusion of longer lashes.
Volumizing mascara
The thicker formula of volumizing mascara, which includes silicone polymers and waxes, helps you get longer, thicker eyelashes. The volumizing effect is particularly noticeable at the base of the lashes, creating a wide-eyed, dramatic look. This mascara can help sparse lashes appear thick and natural. They mimic the color and form of our natural lashes without using synthetic fibers, in contrast to lengthening mascaras.
Curling mascara
Curling mascara enhances the lashes' inherent curl. The mascara's consistency is marginally thicker than other varieties, which aids in the curl's preservation. Applying curling mascara begins with coating the lashes with the curved side of the wand facing upwards. Next, hug the lashes to curl them using the concave side of the wand facing up; use the tip for the lower lashes.
Waterproof mascara
For people who frequently have watery and red eyes, waterproof mascara can be the recommended formula. Waterproof mascara is designed to withstand tears, humidity, and water exposure without smudging or running. A waterproof, smudge-proof mascara product is a valuable addition to any beauty kit since it helps to keep lashes looking great on windy or muggy summer days.
Non-clumping mascara
The applicators' longer wands provide a more profound and striking clump-free finish. To avoid getting too much product on the wand, gently dip it into the tube of the non-clumping mascara before using it. Next, coat the lashes with mascara. A non-clumping mascara is formulated to provide users with the desired results—length, volume, or both—without causing their lashes to become brittle or cluster together.
