Lengthening mascara

The eyes are the mirror of the soul. Women's eyes are bewitching whirlpools, attracting with their mysterious radiance. Long fluffy eyelashes give them a special beauty, which make the look more expressive and emphasize the shape of the eyes. However, not every lady is naturally endowed with such wealth. Fortunately, the modern beauty industry has advanced very far in the creation of various cosmetics, and women's eyes have not bypassed their attention. This is how mascara was created. If you wear contact lenses or glasses, refrain from using lengthening mascara with villi. The fact is that the microvilli contained in its composition can crumble and get under the lens. This will irritate the cornea of ​​​​the eye and can lead to an inflammatory process. As for wearing glasses, the matter is a little different - when blinking, the cilia will touch the glass, and this will lead to flaking and further crumbling of the product.

Every mascara, whether lengthening, volumizing, curling, or any other, is made up of water, soot, various resins, preservatives, and dyes.A good product also contains caring ingredients (castor oil, keratin, lanolin, vitamins A, B, E). Such cosmetics perform not only a decorative function, it nourishes the eyelashes and protects them from the harmful effects of the environment.

The composition of the mascara, designed to lengthen the eyelashes, also includes silk microfibers, with the help of which it turns out to lengthen each eyelash. This happens as follows: the microparticle clings to the tip of the eyelash and lengthens it, and is covered with a layer of mascara on top for a more reliable fixation.

There is another kind of means for increasing the length of eyelashes - double-sided mascara with an extension effect. Its tube is divided into two parts: one contains a special substance, usually white, with which the eyelashes are covered to create the required volume and length. The second part of the tube contains the mascara itself. With its help, the cilia give a complete look.

A good lengthening mascara should have a number of the following characteristics:

• Have a special brush - cone-shaped, cylindrical or spiral shape (for the best staining of cilia).

• Carcass density for lengthening eyelashes should be medium, not too thin and not too dense. This is necessary in order to be able to cover the cilia in 2 layers without weighing them down.
• Drying time good mascara should not exceed 90 seconds. This is just enough to adjust the length and shape of the lash line and cover it with several layers of the selected product. If the mascara dries too slowly, it can stain the upper eyelid, under the eyes and eyebrows.If too fast, you may not have time to achieve the desired effect, but lumps of mascara will remain on the eyelashes, and they will look sloppy.
• Another property, which mascara should have to lengthen the cilia - the absence of a strong gluing effect. It's no secret that many women like slightly clumped lashes that create a “weepy-eye effect”, but for this purpose, it is better to choose a product to increase volume. Lengthening mascara, as a rule, contains special substances that prevent excessive gluing. Thanks to a special brush, excess mascara can be combed out of the eyelashes.
• One of the most important indicators of the quality of the chosen means - durability. Ideally, it should stay in front of your eyes from morning to evening. If by lunchtime you notice black spots or pieces of crumbling microfibers under your eyes, give up such cosmetics.

• Remove the extension mascara can be used with plain water and soap, as well as special makeup removers. If the product you choose is not waterproof, do as you see fit. When washing off, the mascara should not pinch the eyes, form blue circles under them.

• I want to say a little more about what a brush should be for such a cosmetic product. Lots of brushes. It's up to you to decide which one is more convenient - curling (having a slight bend), flexible silicone, fleecy or not, long or short. Try several options and make your choice.

Immediately make a reservation - any opinion on this subject is subjective. The choice depends only on your preferences. To choose the best mascara, pay attention to the following points:

• It must comply with international ophthalmological standards, be completely safe for vision.
• The smell of the product should not be pungent or unpleasant. Ideally, the mascara does not smell at all - or the aroma is pleasant and unobtrusive.
• The tube must be tightly closed - otherwise the product will dry out prematurely. Harmful microorganisms can enter there, and the product will become unusable and dangerous for use.
• Do not use expired mascara.

Of course, among the abundance all kinds of cosmetics is very easy to get confused and confused. When choosing mascara, you should pay attention to the composition, manufacturer, consistency, shape and size of the brush, expiration date, compliance with international quality standards, hypoallergenicity. Read reviews on the internet. Remember that price is not always an indicator of quality. Now it is quite possible to find an excellent budget brand mascara at a very attractive price.

In the process of performing daily makeup women develop an individual eyelash coloring technique: someone blinks, substituting a brush to the upper eyelid; someone with effort moves it from the roots to the tips. Let's see what application techniques exist and what are their advantages and disadvantages:

• Mascara zigzag movements (from bottom to top). This method helps to achieve the maximum volume of eyelashes along the entire length. Especially popular with owners of short eyelashes. If your eyelashes have a good length, you should not paint them in this way - it may turn out not very neat due to excess mascara.
• Next method - blinking. Suitable for lovers of natural makeup. Eyelashes in this case become lush, separated and do not stick together.
• Mascara with the tip of a brush. Not a very practical way. The fact is that a large amount of mascara usually accumulates at the end of the brush.When staining eyelashes in this way, they will stick together 2-3 pieces each. Get the effect of "tearful eyes". If you do not want to achieve this effect, do not paint the eyelashes with the tip of the brush.
• Eyelash Coating several layers of ink. The main thing here is to know the measure. Too thickly painted eyelashes look rough and untidy. The best option is 2-3 layers. Apply the first layer to the upper lashes, then immediately the second, without letting them dry. Mascara is applied to the lower lashes in one layer.

If you accidentally smear mascara on the eyelid or around the eye during makeup, gently wipe it off with a cotton pad or cotton swab.

When using a special eyelash curler, remember that you need to curl before applying mascara, not after.
