Tuesday Tips: The Right Mascara!

Mascara's are one of the most common and abundant beauty products out there and one of the most important (in my opinion).  However, picking out the right one can be pretty overwhelming because there are so many formulas, price ranges, brands, you name it.  And when your friend or favorite beauty guru swears by a certain mascara it can be frustrating when it doesn't work that well for you.  So today I thought I would share was kind of mascaras you should be looking out for depending on the type of lashed you have.

Short Lashes:

You want to be looking out for mascaras that add length.  This can either be a mascara that guarantees extra length or you can look for a mascara base which adds fibers to the lashes that you coat with your colored mascara afterwards.

Thin Lashes:

Volumizing mascaras are best to use when your lashes are thin.  They extra volume gives the appearance of not only thicker, but more lashes.  For best results, apply 2 coats of mascara, really making sure to focus the mascara at the base of the lashes (but do so carefully because it can start to clump or look over-applied).

Thick Lashes:

Thick lashes are absolutely gorgeous, but also terrible about clumping! To help with clumping focus on finding a good mascara wand when shopping for a new mascara.  You want one that will comb through the lashes and separate them really well.   A thinner formula is also better because it is able to coat each individual lash either without clumping as easily.

Straight Lashes:

Lash curlers are your friend! Buy a good pair of lash curlers that really do their job.  That combined with a curl-focused mascara should help your lashes stand out more!  If you have straight lashes you want to also be looking for a lighter formula because a heavier one will weigh down the lashes and take away the curl that you are trying to achieve. 

Long Lashes:

You get the good end of the stick.  Long lashes work really well with most mascaras, but curling and volumizing ones are probably the most useful.  They will add a extra umph to your lashes to make them really beautiful!

I hope these tips were helpful and that you are able to find the perfect mascara for you! Drugstore mascaras are awesome, so search there first for the perfect mascara, chances are you will find it and not have to spend much money!

Much love,
