Mascara Types and Tips

Mascara can do wonders to your face just by making your eyelashes stand out. It can take a "Plain Jane" and virtually turn her into a "Beauty Queen" with the right kind of tools and know how.

Listed below are some types of mascara and tips on how to use them:

Cake:

Cake Mascara Is applied with a small cake mascara brush. It is easy to apply and gives you a thorough coat of mascara on your eyelashes. You can apply many coats without any clumping. This kind of mascara works well on light or blond lashes.

Clear:

Clear Mascara comes in tubes and is applied like regular mascara. It gives people who already have long, dark eyelashes more sheen. It also defines and separates the lashes, giving them a more "natural look".

Top Coats:

Top coats are applied to the eyelashes after mascara to add special effects such as: wet, glossy, glittery, shimmering, sparkly, and luminous. They are also used to add sheen and vibrancy to the lashes and as a sealer for the mascara.

Primers:

Primers are moisturizers for the eyes and should be applied before mascara. They prepare the lashes for mascara and make them appear to be longer. They aid in protecting the lashes from the harmful effects of mascara.

Tinted:

Tinted mascara is the same as colored mascara and usually comes in tubes. There are several different colors to choose from, but not all will work for each person's eye color.
Waterproof:

Waterproof mascara is smudge proof, crease proof, and usually quick drying. It is hard to remove unless you have a good mascara remover. Putting primer on first and then using baby oil later can also help in removing waterproof mascara.
