Lengthening mascara

The eyes are the mirror of the soul. Women's eyes are fascinating whirlpools, attracting their mysterious radiance. They give special beauty to long fluffy eyelashes, which make the look more expressive and emphasize the shape of the eyes. However, not every woman is naturally endowed with such wealth. Fortunately, the modern beauty industry has progressed very far in the creation of various cosmetics, it has not ignored women's eyes as well. So mascara was created. If you wear contact lenses or glasses - refuse to use lengthening mascara with villi. The fact is that the microvilli contained in its composition can crumble and fall under the lens. This will cause irritation of the cornea and may lead to an inflammatory process. As for wearing glasses, here it’s a little different - when blinking, the cilia will touch the glass, and this will lead to flaking and further crumbling of the product.

Each mascara, regardless of whether it is lengthening, volumetric, spinning or any other, consists 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 performs not only a decorative function, it nourishes the eyelashes and protects them from the harmful effects of the environment.

The composition of 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, is covered with a layer of mascara on top for more secure fixation.

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

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

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

• Carcass density to lengthen the eyelashes should be medium, not too liquid and not too dense. This is necessary in order to be able to cover the cilia in 2 layers, without making them heavier.
• Drying time A good mascara should not exceed 90 seconds. This is just enough to adjust the length and shape of the ciliary row and cover it with several layers of the selected product. If the mascara dries too slowly, it may stain the upper eyelid, areas under the eyes and eyebrows. If it is 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 must have mascara to lengthen the cilia - the lack of a strong adhesive effect. It is no secret that many women like slightly stuck eyelashes, creating a "tear-stained effect", but for these purposes it is better to choose a product to increase the volume. Lengthening mascara, as a rule, contains special substances that prevent excessive bonding. Thanks to a special brush, excess mascara can be combed from the eyelashes.
• One of the most important indicators of the quality of the selected funds - resistance. Ideally, it should be visible from morning to evening. If you already notice black specks or pieces of loose microfibers under your eyes by lunchtime, refuse such cosmetics.

• Remove lengthening mascara can be using simple water and soap, as well as special makeup remover. If the selected product is not waterproof - do as you see fit. When flushing, mascara should not pinch eyes, form blue circles under them.

• I want to say a little more about what should be the brush for such a cosmetic product. A lot of brushes. It is up to you to decide which of them is more convenient - twisting (having a slight bend), flexible silicone, fleecy or not very long, short or short. Try several options and decide on the choice.

Immediately make a reservation - any opinion on this matter 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 and be completely safe for sight.
• The smell of the product should not be caustic and unpleasant. Ideally, the mascara does not smell at all - or the flavor is pleasant and unobtrusive.
• The tube should close tightly - otherwise the product dries prematurely. Harmful microorganisms can get there, and the product will become unusable and dangerous to use.
• Do not use expired mascara.

Of course, among the abundance all kinds of cosmetics is very easy to get confused and confused. Choosing mascara, you should pay attention to the composition, manufacturer, texture, shape and size of the brush, shelf life, compliance with international quality standards, hypoallergenic. Read reviews on the Internet. Remember that not always the price is an indicator of quality. Now it is quite possible to find a great budget mascara brand at a very attractive price.

In the process of doing daily makeup women develop an individual technique of coloring eyelashes: someone blinks, substituting the brush for 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:

• Ink application zigzag movements (bottom to top). This method helps to achieve the maximum amount of eyelashes along the entire length. Especially popular with owners of short cilia. If your eyelashes have a good length, you should not paint them in this way - it may turn out not very neat due to an excess of mascara.
• Next way - blinking. Suitable for lovers of natural makeup. Eyelashes in this case become fluffy, separated and not glued.
• Ink application using the tip of the brush. Not very practical way. The fact is that at the end of the brush usually accumulates a large amount of ink. When dyeing the eyelashes in this way, they stick together with each other 2-3 pieces. The effect will be “tear-stained eyes”. If you do not want to achieve this effect, do not paint the eyelashes with a brush tip.
• Eyelash coating several layers of mascara. The main thing here is to know when to stop. Too thickly painted eyelashes look rough and untidy. The best option is 2-3 layers. Apply the first layer on the upper lashes, then - immediately the second, not allowing them to dry. On the lower cilia mascara is applied in a single layer.

If in the process of performing the makeup you accidentally smeared mascara on the eyelid or around the eye, gently erase it with a cotton pad or cotton swab.

When using a special device for curling eyelashes, remember that you need to perform a perm before applying mascara, but not after.
