Mascara

Finding the perfect mascara can seem like a life long adventure! Especially with all the unrealistic ads we see, they make us think we can all achieve the look of full, long, dark eye lashes if we could just find the right brand!

Finding the perfect one is a very personal thing - but if you know what you want, it will be much easier!
Start with your natural lashes - are they short, long, full, sparse?
Do you want them to be fuller, longer or both?
How do you want your eyes to look - natural, slightly enhanced or total drama?
What type do you prefer - liquid, cream or cake?
Do you know which color should you choose?
Do you prefer waterproof?
Do you have sensitive eyes?
Do you wear contact lens?
Once you know your basic goals for your eye makeup, it is a little easier to narrow down the choices.

Types

To narrow down the mind-boggling number of choices, start by deciding the type you prefer.
Waterproof
Thickening (or Volumizing)
Lengthening
Defining
Curling
Tip: To achieve the look of long, full, well defined lashes you will need to use two different types - one first to define and lengthen and the second to provide volume.
