Some women report spending an hour with a mascara tube in their hand. Although these are only the extreme cases because applying mascara takes no more than a few minutes, it shouldn’t be done in rush. The best and the most durable effects can be achieved by complying with a few simple rules.

It’s easier to coat healthy eyelashes

Before we discuss the issue of proper lash coating, we should take care of them in the right way. Nourished and replenished with water eyelashes aren’t only longer and thicker but also more flexible. They stop falling out excessively, grow faster, and therefore there are more of them on our eyelids. Undoubtedly, it’s easier to coat a healthy eyelash than the one which is brittle and thin. For that reason, it’s worth applying an eyelash serum regularly so as to use the mascara to enhance the natural beauty of lashes, instead of camouflaging the imperfections. It’s better to look for eyelash serums with a thin brush and good composition that provide the professional support – only then will lash coating be easier.

Not every mascara delivers the same effect!

It must be realized that mascaras display various properties and are enriched with different substances. The final effect depends on the type of mascara we choose. To clarify, if our eyelashes are thin, we should reach for a thickening mascara. If our eyelashes are short, we should make use of an extending mascara. However, the best choice is a volume boosting mascara that doesn’t only make lashes longer but also bolds them, curls and leaves them fuller-looking.

Which mascara to choose? If possible, go for a cosmetic that:

• has a well-saturated mineral pigment,
• is based on delicate and non-overburdening plant waxes,
• features extra conditioning ingredients,
• goes with a well-shaped, silicone brush.
