Bulk mascara

Mascara is a cosmetic that is applied to the eyelashes to make them thicker, longer and darker. It was first used by the Babylonians and the ancient Greeks, and later the Romans adopted this practice from them.

Volume mascara is a means of giving lashes thick. It usually contains natural waxes and silicone polymers, which seem to "wear" eyelashes, making them thicker and more voluminous. To avoid lumps on the cilia, a formula for a large mascara that prevents the eyelashes from sticking together has been developed. It contains glycerin and silk extract.

One of the varieties is lengthening mascara, which is designed to make short cilia more attractive. Such a mascara contains dense villi that are glued to the tips of the eyelashes - and thus increase their length. This tool will make the eyelashes visually longer, but it will not give them such a volume as increasing mascara.

There is such a species as water resistant bulk mascara. In its composition there are synthetic substances that are designed to reject moisture and are able to give makeup permanentness. However, these components can disrupt the structure of cilia hairs. In order to prevent the lashes from loosening, with frequent use of waterproof mascara, do not forget to put on them care products at night.

To date, created a lot of different formulas bulk mascara. All of them necessarily contain coloring pigments. In some countries (for example, in the United States), federal regulations prohibit the use of any pigments obtained from coal or tar for use in cosmetics for the eyes, so natural inorganic colors and pigments are used in the production of carcasses in these countries. Usually, soot is used to make black in mascara recipes, and iron oxides, which are often mixed with manganese, give brown color. Other inorganic dyes (for example, blue ultramarine, derived from a natural stone called lapis lazuli) are used in colored carcass formulas.

A common component for all types of mascara (including for those that give extra volume to eyelashes) is an emulsion of oil, wax and water. Beeswax, carnauba wax or paraffin are commonly used. Lanolin, linseed, mineral or castor oil can be used as an oil. Turpentine and eucalyptus oils, and even sesame oil, are often used to promote lashes.

Some formulas contain alcohol and stearic acid, which is a common thickener. There are other components used for the same purpose - ceresin, gum or methyl cellulose. Some carcasses contain thin viscose fibers, which make their composition more dense.

Parabens are often used as preservatives.

Mascara, giving volume, refers to the type of cosmetic products, the main role of which is to shape the eyes in such a way, when each eyelash looks bigger and fuller. They are designed for people who have not too thick (or simply rare eyelashes) and do not want to use false eyelashes or their extension.

Any girl can use this mascara just to get a more effective look. Naturally, more voluminous, long and dark eyelashes always look more attractive, and no woman will deny herself the pleasure to conquer the heart of a man with one stroke of fluffy eyelashes.

To choose for yourself the most suitable mascara with the effect of increasing the volume, you should first decide what kind of improvement is required for eyelashes.

For rare cilia It is necessary to look for a thickening or adding volume mascara with a large round brush with a large number of bristles. Such a fluffy brush will help create luxurious eyelashes, slightly curled up.

For these cilia fit 3D mascara, which is a set of two means: primer and mascara. Gel primer impose a normal brush - to create the foundation, which then lays a layer of bulk carcass. The second brush is used for applying directly carcass, which has in its composition microfiber - or, as they are also called, 3D fibers. As a result of the use of such a tool, you can perform make-up with the effect of false eyelashes, which can turn the look of any girl into a magical and charming seduction tool.

However, a mascara containing 3D fibers has many opponents. The main argument they put forward is that this tool quickly crumbles. It not only looks not very aesthetically pleasing, but can also get into the eyes, injuring the mucous membrane. Especially problematic to use this mascara for women who wear lenses, because impressive volume eyelashes can, peeling during the day, fall on the face and eyes. They can provoke infectious diseases and injuries of the mucous membrane of the eye.

Some women prefer to use a special curler brush for curling before applying volume mascara. You can also use our grandmother’s tried and tested tool: special eyelash curler. It is better to use such forceps on unpainted eyelashes in order not to damage the delicate hairs. After obtaining the desired bend, you can apply any bulk ink, and the result will please the owner throughout the day.

If a woman is short eyelashes, it is worth before applying the volume to take care of their lengthening. To do this, lengthen the tool with a brush with thick bristles. A small brush will make it possible to paint each eyelash very close to the eye and make sure that all of them are “dressed” in a cocoon of a mascara.

In the case when the eyelashes look great and do not require an increase in volume, stretching the mascara with a uniform step of the bristles to form the separation will help to emphasize their length and thickness. This option is suitable for natural everyday makeup. A twist brush will help give a nice twist.

If the lashes vary in length or are damaged, it may be advisable to use as thick as possible brushes for applying volume mascara and carefully consider the ingredients that make up its composition. Phytokeratin and panthenol are added to the mascara to help the eyelashes recover and grow.

When buying it is important to choose the right color. Most often, black is the most preferred; it can really make eyes worthy of a glossy magazine cover. If the eyelashes have a reddish tint (or, as is the case with natural blondes, have a nondescript color), light brown or dark brown mascara should be applied for everyday makeup.

Curlers can help to make eyelashes beautiful and bend them up, making the look brighter and more open. Use them before the application of ink.When using tweezers, it is worth making sure that they are provided with a rubber grip that will help curl the hairs (instead of bending them at an acute angle).

Applying volume mascara on the upper and lower lashes is done differently.

Ways to make up the upper eyelashes and make them bulky:

1. If the eyelashes are absolutely straight, then first it is best to curl them. The most effective result will help achieve curling tweezers, which should be attached to the base of the eyelashes and lightly pressed for 10 seconds. Then you should move them to the middle of the eyelashes and press again for 10 seconds. Then the tips of the eyelashes curl, also with a 10-second pause. This will create a natural bend of the eyelashes and avoid an ugly bend in the form of a hard angle.
2. In that case, when there is no desire to use tweezers, you can just wet your eyelashes with water and use your fingers to push up and repair wet eyelashes.
3. Mascara from a tube should be taken by turning the brush back and forth, as if twisting. This will allow the brush to pick up the mascara as much as possible and to prevent excess air from being injected into a tube, which contributes to the rapid drying of the contents.
4. Wipe off any excess on a cloth or on the edge of a tube. Too much ink on the brush can lead to clumping, so the brush should be wiped off, leaving only the right amount.
5. To make it easier to paint over the cilia, they need to lift, looking for it up. At the same time, peripheral vision will still allow you to perfectly see yourself in the mirror.
6. If there are fears that involuntary blinking will begin, then it is worth to open your mouth a little. The peculiarity of the body is such that it is more difficult to blink when the mouth is open.
7. Brush with mascara is brought to the base of the eyelashes, and it moves back and forth. Ideally, the tool should be applied to the entire length of the eyelashes. Well stained and rocking motion.
8. Be sure to pull the tips of the eyelashes with a brush to the outside, making a zigzag movement or simulating a small loop. Such zigzags with a brush will help add lengths and volume, as well as reduce clumping.
9. After drying, the first layer of ink can be re-applied, and then as many times as necessary to obtain the desired effect. However, it is worth remembering that everyday makeup requires the most natural picture. It is important to remember another thing: the more layers of mascara will be applied, the higher the likelihood that the mascara will dry out the eyelashes and crumble.
10. Do not neglect the cilia, located on the inner and outer parts of the century. If you apply mascara only in the very center of the eyelid, you can visually reduce the size of the eyes, so you should remember to apply mascara on inner, middle and outer lashes.
11. If there is a problem with how to paint the innermost eyelashes, then in this case you can very gently bend the brush 90 degrees (do not worry, you can bend it back). This will make it easy to get the inner lashes and paint them.

Applying mascara on the lower eyelashes is not always advisable, as this can visually narrow not too large eyes. If you wish to paint over the bottom row of eyelashes, you should follow certain rules:

1. In order not to stain the skin under the eyes when applying mascara, it is better to put a piece of napkin or cotton pad under the lower lashes.
2. To apply the tool on the lower cilia, use the very tip of the brush (or the second brush, which has a smaller size). So it is easier to control the movement and paint over the surface closer to the century.
3. It is recommended to use brown mascara to stain the lower lashes even when using black on the upper ones. This will allow not to make the look heavy, to make it less “doll-like”.

You can remove any errors with a cotton swab. If the mascara got on the face or on the eyelid, you need to let it dry so as not to smudge it. After drying, you need to press the tip of a cotton swab on the stain - it is easier to remove stains without spoiling the tone of the face and the applied shadows.

A dry brush for mascara (or a cotton swab) will help to remove the lumps. In this case, it is necessary to sweep up the eyelashes, passing simultaneously through the lower and upper. It should be done while the mascara is still not completely dry.

A little secret for those who want to add extra volume: you can do it with baby powder. In the case when the bulk mascara does not give the desired effect, you can apply a single layer of translucent powder or baby powder on the eyelashes. To do this, you can use a makeup brush or a cotton swab. Then you need to cover this powder with another layer of ink. The powder will allow you to create a larger volume, but it weights the hairs, so you should not wear this makeup for too long.

It is important to remember to remove mascara from the eyes before bedtime. For this, various means of removing makeup are used. Timely removal will help maintain eye health, as the mascara dries your eyelashes, especially at night. As a result, they can become brittle and start falling out.

On the packaging of each cosmetic product the expiration date is indicated. Use of an expired product is dangerous to health. Is no exception and mascara. Usually the shelf life is from about a year to three. This concerns the storage of funds before the opening of the package.

After opening the tube you can use mascara for three months, subject to the conditions of its storage, as this cosmetic is one of the most perishable. It dries very quickly. You can, of course, try to lower the tube into the heated water. For some time the mascara will become liquid again, but it will not last long.

Somewhat increase the service life of carcasses can, if you follow certain rules:

1. It is not necessary to wipe off excess funds on the edge of the bottle: when drying, such residue will prevent the tube from being tightly closed, speeding up the drying of its contents.
2. Do not lower the brush in a tube too often - it is better to pick up the paint, just by twisting the brush inside the bottle.
3. Do not store cosmetics for the eyes in the bathroom or in the open sun, and you should not allow it to refreeze.
4. If the tool thickens, you can add a few drops of water.
