Lashes and Mascara
I don’t have the greatest lashes so I am always in search for products that can help me achieve my best lashes.
With so many brands and formulas to choose from I know choosing a mascara can be overwhelming. Also I have noticed a lot of advertisements for mascara with fine print lately. It often discloses that false lashes were used to achieve the model’s look. Most of us will never have those fabulous lashes you see in print ads. We just need to find the right “fit” that will give us the each our best lashes.
Here are a few ideas to consider:
- Decide whether you would prefer to use waterproof or water-soluble mascara. Water-soluble is easier to remove without eye makeup remover, thus minimizing the amount of rubbing around the eyes, which can lead to saggy skin. Waterproof is a better choice for those who are prone to tears and also can be a great choice for the physically active.
- Choose a mascara color according to your hair color; brunettes should use black to bring out their eyes, while black/brown or brown mascara will have a more natural effect on red or very fair-haired women.
- Choose the type of mascara brush according to your preference. A straight brush is good for coating the hard-to-reach corner lashes, while a curved brush makes it easier to coat more of your lashes at once.
And the must have for every make up bag? An eye lash curler! Curled lashes help open and enhance the eyes.
You can choose from a standard metal curler or a battery operated heated curler. If you decide on the standard metal be sure to use it prior to applying your mascara. If you choose the heated curler you can use it before or after mascara.
I personally use Mary Kay’s Ultimate Mascara in Black and JAPONESQUE® Heated Mini Eyelash Curler. It lifts and curls my lashes with heat. I find that I get the best result when I use it after mascara application. I love the results I get by using these two products together!
