Here’s a guide to choosing the right mascara for your makeup look:
In the vast world of mascaras, finding your holy grail may take some trial and error. Embrace the experimentation, have fun, and let your lashes steal the show.
Are you tired of clumpy lashes or mascara that seems to vanish by midday? Fear not! We’re here to unravel the mysteries of mascara and guide you towards finding the perfect wand for your lash goals. Avleen Bansal, Head Of Training, Make-up Studio shares a guide to choosing the right mascara for your makeup look:
- The BasicsLet’s start with the basics. Mascara comes in various formulas – lengthening, volumizing, curling, and more. Identify your lash needs before diving into the mascara aisle. Do you want drama, definition, or a natural look?
- Brushing UpThe brush matters! Bristle type and brush shape play a crucial role in achieving your desired lash effect. If you want volume, opt for a thick, bristle brush. For length, go for a skinny, elongated brush. A curved brush is ideal for those seeking a lifted, curled effect.
- Waterproof or Not?Consider your lifestyle. If you’re battling tears or planning a beach day, waterproof mascara might be your BFF. However, if you prefer easy removal without tugging, a non-waterproof formula is your best bet.
- Know Your FormulasMascara formulas vary from brand to brand. Some focus on nourishing your lashes, while others boast high-intensity pigments. If you have sensitive eyes, look for a hypoallergenic option. For lush lashes that also get some TLC, choose a mascara with added conditioning ingredients.
- Layering MagicDon’t hesitate to layer different mascaras for a customized look. Start with a lengthening formula and finish with a volumizing one for a truly eye-catching effect.
- Toss Out TimelyMascara has a shelf life. To avoid clumps, infections, or irritations, replace your mascara every three months. Your lashes will thank you!
- Removal RitualInvest in a good eye makeup remover. Gently wipe away mascara without rubbing to keep your lashes healthy and your makeup routine fuss-free.
