How will you know which mascara is the best one?
Reviews
The easiest way to choose a mascara is to make good use of reviews. We can either ask your friend for an opinion or browse the Internet, after all these are the two fastest ways to find out whether a particular mascara is good. At the same time, it doesn’t mean that we only have to go for products that have already been tested by many customers and are highly recommended. Treat reviews as hints so as to be tuned in to the cosmetics which are worth our attention. Nevertheless, if there is a new cosmetic being launched onto the market, it can be us who give the first opinion about it and help others make the decision whether to buy it or not. To sum up, it’s a good thing to do to buy, so-called, new arrivals.
Price
High price isn’t always the determiner of high quality, yet frequently the cheaper mascaras coat lashes in an unsatisfying way. Mainly it’s due to the substances which quality is poorer, the higher amount of preservatives and synthetic substances in the product’s composition, and the wand which is frequently less ‘polished.’ Hence, you can follow the price and look for the ideal product among the more expensive mascaras, yet still have in mind that the amount of money paid for a colour cosmetic isn’t what matters the most. As a general rule, more expensive products are better, but it’s wiser to focus on the composition or the shape of an applicator.
Composition
The truth is, you can find many various substances in mascaras. And what’s interesting, in many cases these are substances that a conscious consumer wouldn’t like to apply to their skin – aluminium, mercury, parabens. If we’re about to leave our home to get the ideal mascara, it’s worth realizing what a good mascara should be made form. Plant waxes, beeswax, vitamins, mineral pigments, vegetable oils (do not confuse with mineral oils), etc. A good mascara’s list of ingredients doesn’t have to occupy a half of the packaging. Sometimes, just a few ingredients are enough, yet they must beautify lashes without doing any damages to them.
Applicator
Undoubtedly, the most important aspect of a good mascara is the applicator it goes with, its size, flexibility and the length of bristle. In most cases, mascaras are divided into two types: the ones which go with silicone wands, and the others with nylon bristle. The first option is considered as a better solution for allergy sufferers and those whose eye skin area along with the eyes are really sensitive. Moreover, a silicone brush is more elastic and easier to clean. Additionally, silicone brush is said to coat lashes better. Another crucial issue to discuss is the shape of applicator. Reportedly, the best mascara wands feature bristle of various lengths, especially the ones with narrowed tips. Such shape of a brush significantly facilitates reaching and coating the shortest lashes growing in the corners of the eyes.
Effects
It’s worth approaching the mascaras promising false lash effect with a little dose of scepticism. Frequently, after applying such products, eyelash get clumpy which deliver the unwanted spider legs effect. Good mascaras don’t create any thick layers on lashes nor they promise to achieve unnatural effects. Instead, they enhance the natural beauty of our lashes. Therefore, it’s better to stop wondering which mascara is the best one and think differently: Which mascara does promise the factual effects? You can learn a lot by reading reviews, which in fact has already been mentioned above.
