Looking for the mascara formula that will make your eyelashes pop? Here’s what you should invest in, based on your lash type.
1. If you have short lashes…
Do you have short lashes, but don’t want to fork out on extensions? There are many mascaras on the market that are designed with short lashes in mind. They are designed to add more length by depositing polymers to the tips of your lashes. This one, by Japanese beauty brand SENSAI, has a dual layer to lengthen and define your lashes. The tapered brush also helps you coat every eyelash.
2. If you have straight lashes…
In order for our lashes to stand out, there needs to be a lift and curl to them. Some of us, however, have lashes that stick out straight. This means you need to invest in a formula that has your lash type in mind and provides some curl. This one by Benefit has a wand that ensures every lash is coated from root to tip, as well as an innovative curve-setting formula.
3. If you have fine lashes…
Some people have eyelashes where the hairs are so thin they are barely noticeable. This can be an even bigger problem for those with blonde, almost-invisible hairs. For this lash type, you need to add a volumising mascara to your make-up collection. This one from Fenty has a tapered brush to make getting your small, inner lashes much easier. Each coat thickens and deposits colour so that your eyelashes definitely stand out.
4. If you have sparse lashes…
Do you think that you simply don’t have enough lashes, or they are spaced apart? You probably have sparse lashes, which are also prone to stick together when applying mascara. Counteracting this concern requires the right wand type so that all your lashes are coated, separated and amplified. This sweat- and cry-proof mascara by Maybelline has a curvy brush to grab every lash and give them all a volume boost.
5. If you have sensitive eyes…
The eye area, and the skin around it, is more delicate than the rest of the face. Many people can be afflicted with allergies or reactions when using certain eye make-up. With mascara being so close to your eyes, some formulas can aggravate them. If this sounds like you, you need to grab one designed with sensitive eyes in mind, like this one from Catrice that delivers volume without the burn.
