Choose mascara by function

First, you need to decide on the choice of mascara.The market is now flooded with a variety of offers, but you must choose the one that suits you best. Modern mascaras have long performed more than one function, there is a 2 in 1, 3 in 1 and even 5 in 1 option. Let's look at each function in order:

• Waterproof mascara - neither rain nor tears are scary for it. Its secret is in a special waterproof film.
• Water-soluble - it's gentler on the eyes, but you won't be able to walk with it in the rain, and if you decide to cry, the view won't be very good.
• Lengthening - can lengthen eyelashes withwith the help of pieces of fiber, synthetic or organic origin. But the fibers can get into the eye, so such mascaras are becoming less and less common. Modern lengthening mascaras perform their function due to a special formula, as well as with the help of the shape of the brush, but more on that later.
• Volume - this is a wax-based mascara. It envelops each eyelash, which is why the eyelashes do not look glued together, but rather fluffy and thick.
• Curling - mascara that hasa special brush. But there is also a chemical method of curling - this is when the composition includes special resins and keratin, when they dry, they tighten the eyelashes and thus curl them.
• Nutritious or fortified - in itsThe composition includes an additional amount of melanin, keratins, proteins, a UV filter and other additional substances, which provides the eyelashes with nutrition, protection and care.
• Mascara for sensitive eyes - here it allIt's very simple. This is a mascara that contains a minimum of preservatives and chemically active substances, it does not irritate the eyes and is suitable for those who use contact lenses.
• Clear gel is a mascara thatis also called medicinal, it does not contain dyes, but it contains castor oil, keratins, proteins and vitamins. This gel can be used as a base or used to give neatness and well-groomed eyelashes, but only if you are the happy owner of gorgeous eyelashes by nature.

Correct selection of a brush

As you can see, there are many functions of mascara, and you need tojust decide what effect you want to achieve. But it should still be noted that not only the composition of the mascara is of great importance, but also its brush (bristles). Namely:

• Solid bristles - for fluffy volume.
• Spiral bristles of different lengths - add volume and length in just a couple of movements; when applying mascara, such a brush needs to be twisted a little.
• Long bristles - comb eyelashes perfectly, but at the same time leave a large amount of mascara, which adds volume.
• Short bristles are very convenient for painting eyelashes in the corners of the eyes.
• Brushes with shorter bristles at the edges - a brush that combines the advantages of two. It makes eyelashes voluminous, but at the same time carefully paints them in the corners of the eyes.
• Brushes with longer bristles at the edges or in the shape of a figure eight - this gives the eyelashes a curve.

Now you can confidently choose the right mascara.Try not to skimp when choosing, often cheap "market" mascara is of very dubious quality. The right mascara never has a strong smell. If there is a smell, it is natural and light. Medicinal mascara always smells of something. Be sure to look at the packaging. There should be not only an expiration date (no more than 6-8 months), but also the country of manufacture, and the type, and composition of the mascara.

Application of mascara to eyelashes

Once the choice has been made, it's time to get startedcoloring. To do this correctly, you need to know the first rule - never color your eyelashes if there are traces of fat. If you used cream - be sure to blot your eyelashes with a napkin. The correct order for applying mascara:

• First, paint the lower eyelashes. Brush should be held vertically, and put ink on the tip itself.
• We paint the upper lashes. In this case, the brush is held horizontally, and we start from the middle of the century, then you can go to the outer part, and only then to the inner part.
• Correctly dye eyelashes in the direction from the roots to the tips.
• It is advisable to apply mascara in 2 steps. It is correct to apply the first layer first, and after 2-3 minutes, when it dries a little, the second.

If after applying mascara your eyelashesstuck together, they need to be combed with a special brush before they dry. If they are stained with mascara - wipe the skin with a damp cotton swab. When dyeing very light eyelashes, it is necessary to apply mascara along the entire length. There are a few more secrets that you need to remember when applying mascara:

• In order to make the eyelashes look long, the brush should be pulled along the eyelashes, raising the head slightly.
• If you apply mascara in zigzag movements, it will lie down in a thicker layer and make the eyelashes thicker. But do not overdo it.
• To emphasize the amygdala shape of the eyes, make the movements slightly oblique and guide them to the temple from the center of the century.
• The ink lies perfectly flat, if you first comb the eyelashes, and then paint.
