Just imagine --you’ve gone through a lot of trouble to
apply make up to your eyes but have forgotten the mascara! ----the
finishing touch. Mascara is an absolute necessity as just a little bit
can do a world of wonder,. It is almost like a magic wand that you wave
and voila--- your eyes become beautiful. So what does this magic potion
do? It thickens the lashes, darkens them and adds that wee bit of length
that is so alluring. Do apply mascara only after you use the eyeliner
but before doing so, separate the lashes using a comb. Thin, even
coats—at least two—are usually sufficient. There are length enhancing mascaras which are good if you have short lashes, but if you longer ones, go in for a curling mascara. Thin lashes gain volume with mascaras that contain a thickening ingredient. The polymers and wax present in such mascaras help to thicken them. If you are one of those whose lashes are blond, use a combination of volume gaining mascara and the lengthening mascara. While applying mascara, ensure that the tips are also covered. Mascara is usually applied with a “ mascara wand” that has bristles that are short in nature and packed close together. Astonishing as it may seem, a range of mascaras is available and for the untutored mind it may seem awesome. Basically however there are 3 different kinds - water based, waterproof and a mixed variety. The last one is perhaps the most common and perhaps the most versatile type of mascara. Water-soluble mascaras are easy to apply, easy to remove but woe betide if you come into contact with water in any form. It will just run and smudge. There are some water-soluble mascaras which do not live up to their name, so watch out when you go in form them. Price is not always a factor that can gauge the quality of the product--- some mascara got from a drug store may be even cheaper and better. In India, mascara is paving the way for kohl to enter the market. Fruit packs and cucumber packs are also used-- especially under the eye. As there is no risk of allergy, Indian women prefer kohl and fruit and vegetable packs over chemical mascara. Shahnaz Husain has produced liquid eye make up packs which help the growth of eyelashes The packs contain among other things- gooseberry, almond oil neem and trifala. As these are natural products Indian girls and women do feel very comfortable using them. The waterproof
variety does not react with water and hence is smudge proof. The
disadvantage however is that once applied, it refuses to come off
easily. Pulling and wiping hard around the delicate area of the eye
tends to cause the skin to sag. Moisturizers used on the skin can cause
such mascaras to break down and the result is catastrophe. The word
waterproof does not mean that this mascara will not smear. So do
exercise caution and keep it for a special occasion rather than for
daily use. Mascaras come in different shades but brown and brown black
are voted to be the best. Cosmetic mascara has a wider range extending
from black, brown, gray to blue and other colors. There is
hypoallergenic mascara for those who are allergic to many things. Test
the mascara before you use it, if you itch or get a rash—change it
immediately. Do not take any chances
