5 Best Mascaras
A good mascara can cost anywhere from $5.00 to $50.00, and with so many different kinds claiming to work all sorts of magic, it can be hard to pick just one that works for you. What’s important to determine before you start your hunt, is what exactly you want from your mascara. Things like the thickness of the bristles, the length of the brush, or the curve of the wand, are purposeful features that can enhance your eye-game in different ways.
For longer looking lashes:
Mascara’s claiming to lengthen your lashes typically come in the form of widely spaced, straight and narrow bristles.
Yves Saint Laurent Effet Faux-Cils Babydoll Mascara goes for around $36.00, and is chalk-full of antioxidants like jojoba oil, hydrating palm oil and rich magnesium, claiming maximum length.
If you’re not looking to make this investment, CoverGirl Clump Crushers Extensions Mascara retails for $10.99 and includes CoverGirl’s patented lash lengthening formula.
For volume and thickness:
To achieve a more voluminous lash, you should opt for thicker brushes with denser bristles.
Younique 3D Fiber Lash Mascara, goes for about $29.00, and thickens, lengthens, and essentially enhances even the shortest, thinnest lashes.
For curling:
To get that a good curl going, you’ll need to limit your search to curved brushes.
Tru Urban Decay Super Curling mascara from Sephora. This particular formula has glycoprotein for lash thickening, moringa seeds to help with curl definition, and meadowfoam seed oil and shea butter for moisturizing and smoothing.
For waterproof/smudge-proof:
This category’s all about the formula, and less about the structure of the brush. You want a formula with little water to ensure smudge-proof coverage.
Try Armani Eyes To Kill waterproof mascara,(retails for about $38.00).
