How to Choose the Right Mascara?

Most women use mascara, yet many still aren’t sure how to choose the right one. So we’ll take a look at what to consider when picking a mascara. We’ll also show you how to apply mascara correctly and how and with what to remove mascara from your lashes.

Choosing the right mascara

Choose mascara based on what your lashes are like. Do you need to lengthen them? Reach for a lengthening mascara (ideally with a tapered tip that can color and lengthen even the shortest lashes in the inner corner of the eye). Do you have sparse lashes? A volumizing mascara will come in handy.

In summer at the pool or in winter in the mountains, you’ll appreciate waterproof mascara. You’ll also use it for more formal occasions when you absolutely need your makeup to stay beautiful all day long.

Tip for you: Try several different mascaras and especially different brushes. Every woman (and every set of lashes) suits a different mascara and, above all, a different brush. Once you find your favorite, stick with it.

How to apply mascara correctly

If you want your lashes to look perfect, curl them first with an eyelash curler and only then apply mascara. How do you work with mascara correctly? Take the brush and wipe off excess product on the edge of the tube. Place the brush at the roots of your lashes and slowly apply the product all the way to the tips. First paint the lower lashes, then the upper lashes. You can apply two coats to the upper lashes, ideally from both sides. That way your lashes will look great whether your eyes are open or closed.

Tip for you: Did an accident happen and you have product around your eye? No problem. Wait until the mascara dries, then use a cotton swab, dip it in makeup remover, and gently wipe the product away.

Proper makeup removal

To remove eye makeup, use an eye makeup remover, ideally a dual-phase one and alcohol-free. Gently sweep a cotton pad with remover over the eyes and sort of pull the mascara off. Move from the center of the face outward and from top to bottom. Don’t rub your eyes; remember the eye area is very sensitive. Use as many pads as needed. The last pad should remain completely clean.
