How to choose the right mascara

This fully depend on what kind of lash effects you are looking for. Mascara can give you the extra boost in length, volume, and ultimately giving you a more defined look to your eyes.

When you choose mascara, take notes of the mascara wand. The shape of the wand is just as crucial as the formula itself. The shape of the wand is what will guarenteed the effects that you want.

Here are the four basic wand shapes:

Wand shape 1: You can see how evenly distribute the bristles are. This wand and formula for this particular mascara will create the effects of long and natural looking lashes. The reason behind this is when you coat your lashes, each strand will be defined evenly creating that natural look effect.  

Wand shape 2: Now, this wand is very similar to the first one. The only differences is instead of even bristles, you get uneven bristles that are not spaced together. The reason behind the spacing is because when you apply with this particular wand to your lashes, it will grab and group your lashes between the space, creating the effects of a more dramatic, darker, and a more voluminous look.

Wand shape 3: doesn’t this look funny? =] this wand have a very solid made shape. It is brush-like and the effects created from this wand will lengthen your lashes dramatically. The way the wand is build, the solidness of it will provide a thicker coating to your lashes and this will give to the effects.  

Wand shape 4: The comb shape wand is my favorite to use! This wand creates similar lash effects as wand shape #3 however, with the exception of having a more define lenghtening and your lashes will look strikingly prominent!

How to use your mascara To grab the mascara from the tube always avoid the pumping motion with the wand. Pumping the mascara wand repeatedly into the tube will dry out your mascara much quickly. Instead, the correct way to grab mascara from the tube is to do the 360 degree movement. To do this, just swipe the side of the tube with your mascara wand in a circular motion to grab products from the tube. This will prevent the mascara from drying out and also from any bacteria infection.

Conclusion Every mascara will create a different effect, hence there are no one perfect mascara out there. Pick one according to your personal preferences. If you like natural looking yet want dramatic length and etc, don’t be afraid to mix and match your mascara. Just have fun and experiment =]
