The Best Mascara

Millions of women use mascara to make their lashes lush. It’s been around since the 19th century, and those tubes and wands are still making eyes more alluring. The best mascara adds volume and length to individual lashes, creating a plump but natural look. Today we shall talk about some tips and information in terms of mascara.

Mascara’s ingredients

Since formulas of mascara have changed very little over the past 50 years, they typically include three ingredients:

• A carbon black or iron oxide pigment dyes the formula black or brown, though sometimes ultramarine or other colors are used. Typical ingredient titanium dioxide and iron oxide, chemical compounds that work together to create deep hues.
• Waxes, often paraffin, carnauba, or beeswax, thicken the formula, enabling it to cling to lashes. They mainly include carnauba wax, candelilla wax and so on.
• Oil serves as a hydrophobic, a substance that resists water, and enables the mascara to stay put after application. Common oils include linseed, castor, lanolin, eucalyptus, and oil of turpentine.

Be cautious about the ones containing fragrance, a common irritant that can cause itching and redness on sensitive skin. No one needs that around their eyes, and it’s a baffling addition to begin with.

Mascara’s type

• Lengthening Mascara. Lengthening mascara is meant to give you the appearance of longer lashes. Lengthening mascaras have dense bristles that allow you to get more mascara on your lashes and especially on the tips of your lashes.A big trend in lengthening mascaras these days is 3D fiber mascaras, which work by attacking tiny fibers to lashes.
• Volumizing Mascara. When you want bulk, you do want to buy the mascaras touted as “volumizing” or “thickening”.These products contain a thicker formula of waxes and silicone polymers that coat lashes and make them appear bulkier.
• Waterproof Mascara. Waterproof mascara is a good choice when you’re going to be crying or sweating or just want to ensure your mascara won’t smudge. Waterproof, or “non-smudging”, mascaras contain special synthetic formulas meant to repel moisture. But these can be harsh on your lashes.
• Non-Clumping Mascara. If you hate clumps, consider a non-clumping mascara.These contain ingredients like silk extract and glycerin. The applicators also have longer wands which allow for a more even application.

The FDA suggest replacing your mascara every three months to guard against bacteria proliferation in case of eye even health problems.
