Mascara brush

Mascara is a necessary item in any cosmetic bag. Now in the shops you can find a variety of brushes with different purpose. Understanding how they differ and choosing the right one is not an easy task.

It is impossible to collect absolutely all existing types of brushes, because each brand makes its own original changes to the already created concepts. Here are collected most of the popular species.

• Large brush with frequent nap. Rounded and elongated, with dense setae. It will help to achieve impressive volume on long and thick hair, but will be almost useless on short and rare.
• Oval brush with fluffy bristles. It will be good for girls with dull eyelashes, since due to the bristle it is possible to apply more mascara and increase the external thickness of the hairs. Suitable for light makeup and evening look.
• Brush with a spherical tip. The ball on the tip well stains even very short hairs. With this brush it is convenient to paint the cilia in the corners of the eyes, achieving the effect of the wide-open look.

• Straight brush with silicone bristles. Thanks to the silicone, the brush captures the required amount of mascara and correctly apply it on the eyelashes, allowing you to avoid lumps. Straight brushes are divided into two types: long and short.
• Long brush It will be convenient for girls with short, slightly curved eyelashes. A small radius will make it possible to completely dye the hairs and distinguish them.
• Short little brush allows you to work out the eye makeup in detail, painting and lifting eyelashes as much as you like. Suitable for any type of eyelashes, but with such a brush make-up will have to devote slightly more time.

• Curved tassel. Differs in a bend, having short fibers on the one hand and longer with another, twists cilia, keeping a natural look.
• Brush-eight (or hourglass). It performs three functions at once: it lengthens, twists and gives volume. With this form it is easy to evenly distribute the mascara, so it is suitable for layered coating. For a perfect result, scroll the brush during application. The only drawback: sticking dirt in the middle of the brush.
• Fine brush with rare bristles. The best option for those who love naturalness - it does not create any additional effects, but perfectly paints all the eyelashes.

• Brush in the form of a sphere (ball). The authors of the model is the company Givenchy, but now such a brush can be found in other brands. With it, mascara can be applied to the entire length of the eyelashes, which allows you to make a cat's eye makeup.
• Cone brush. In shape - narrow at the tip and widening towards the base, with frequent bristly pile. It is suitable for painting the outer corner of the eye, creating the largest volume on it. Minus: the base is inconvenient for painting very short eyelashes.
• Brush applicator. It resembles an ordinary lip gloss, but has a very interesting task. It creates a special film on the eyelashes, which protects and makes each hair visually thicker, and also emphasizes the natural look, gives the effect of wet cilia.
• Maxi. Such a brush has many bristles directed in different directions, and adds a 3D volume, as each seta “branches” into three smaller ones. This mascara is used by professionals at fashion shows.

It is impossible to choose the best brush uniquely, because the needs of each consumer are individual. But still, each has its pros and cons. Silicone mascara brushes twist and separate cilia better, and large fleecy brushes help to achieve the best volume. Straight brushes are considered versatile and are suitable for daily makeup, curved - effectively emphasize the eyes for the "appearance".

Long and thin brushes optimally stain even very short hairs. The shape of the eight at the brush creates a perfect bend, well-colored and separates all the hairs. With flat brushes, combing you can create a thick layer of mascara on your eyelashes, adding not only volume, but also intense color. Round brushes are suitable for thoroughly painting the entire eye, as well as noticeable twisting, separation and elongation.

To choose the most suitable option, it is necessary to determine the type of eyelashes.

1. For long and thick eyelashes mascara with a twisting effect is optimal.
2. It is better to paint short and thick eyelashes with a wide and thick brush.
3. If eyes are watering, waterproof mascara is the best choice.
4. On the short and thin eyelashes need lengthening, bulk mascara, with fluffy bristles.
5. Owners of naughty cilia should use a brush with a bend and multidirectional bristles. Also, it is suitable for quick makeup.
6. Long, sparse and thin cilia need to twist and add volume. In this case, the choice falls brush with loose silicone bristles - it helps to apply mascara uniformly, adding eyelashes fluffiness.
7. If the hairs are neither length nor thickness, in this case a rubber brush with a rare bristle or a round brush will do.
8. For thick but short cilia, an extension brush is needed.

The brushes should be regularly cleaned, because after daily use, dust and particles of dry carcass accumulate between the fibers. All this can cause a number of problems: from the difficulty of eyelash staining to allergies and infection. It is necessary to wash the brush in warm water and / or antiseptic solution and wipe it with a clean cloth soaked in makeup remover, or wash it with water with antibacterial soap. Then you need to let it dry, as the ingress of foreign matter can dry the mascara. When disinfecting, professionals use BeautySoClean cleaning wipes.
