Mascara can be clumpy, blue and smudged. Waterproof or not. The ideal mascara is tough to find when there are tons of options in stores and online.

What does mascara do?

Mascara is used to elongate the lashes and pull people’s attention to the eyes, especially when the eyeshadow is something you want people to notice.

The first two things to decide on is whether you want a regular or waterproof mascara. Regular mascara can be easily stain the eyeshadow, which is a huge let down. But it can be easily washed off after a long day. Waterproof mascara tends to last as possible, it’ll stay on whether you cry or sweat but it is harder to wipe off.

Secondly, what wand best fits your eye? If you’ve noticed, the mascara wand your friend uses might not coat your eyelashes in one swipe. Your eye shape might be short or wide, lashes long or short as well.

The ball tipped wand is great for the inner lashes, this is because the inner lashes tend to be shorter and harder to reach. If you try reach it with a standard wand, the mascara will smudge onto your foundation and create a grey tint if you cover it with concealer.

Curled wands are great to curl the lashes upwards before curling them with a eyelash curler. Curled wands also help to avoid clumping of the lashes and avoid the infamous “spider lashes”, which is where the lashes look like spider legs. Thick wands are best to add depth and make lashes more dense. Thin wands are another type of wands that are best for short lashes, as well as to coat the lashes with mascara individually.

For the bottom lashes, they have their own type of wand, thinner and smaller than the top lash wands. Bottom lashed ten to be much shorter and sparse so using a smaller wand, you can get as close as possible to avoid ruining your makeup with black mascara.

There are various mascara you can choose: volumizing, tinting, lengthening, smudge-proof and clump-proof mascaras.

Volumizing mascaras are great for thin lashes to add volume and have ingredients that help with adding length. Lengthening mascaras, my personal favorites, because they lenghten your lashes over time. This type of mascara are great for those who have short and/or sparse lashes.

Those with light-colored lashes can use tinting mascara or any regular black mascara. But tinting can help to give a natural look, for someone with blonde lashes, using a tinting mascara will help show that they do have lashes.

The best technique to use mascara is to add one coat and wait for each coat to dry before adding another coat. This helps to avoid clumping, this means that if you add coat after coat, it will lead to a clump of mascara to hang onto a lash or multiple lashes.

Curling the lashes is also helpful if you have natural straight lashes and want to make your lashes pop. Eyelash curler wands can also help the mascara give your lashes a longer look. The SHISEIDO Eyelash curler can be found on Sephora’s website or stores. But for those on a tighter budget you can purchase the REVLON Diamond Collection eyelash curler.

Mascara can be used if you’d like but it’s not for everyone. There are also color mascara like the NYX Worth the Hype Colored Mascara. Clear mascaras for those who want separate the lashes without the tint. Many mascaras to choose from but you will have to test one after another to find the right one!
