As we know mascara is a cosmetic applied to the eyelashes to make the lashes thicker, longer, and darker to define the eyelashes. Normally black and brown colored are the most popular mascara colors. Black works on everyone with the most natural effect especially for Brunettes. Most people prefer non waterproof mascara because it can be removed easily compared to waterproof which doesn't wipe off easily. But it is important to keep a waterproof mascara in case you need it for special occassion.
Besides, sometimes we might encounter problem such as the shape of brush that determine the look of your lashes. You will get a different effect because there are various shapes and sizes for different mascara brush types, and it is important to know the characteristics of your own.
Here are the different mascara brush types:
Curved Mascara brush type
- It cause the lash to curl and lift. Pick a mascara wand that's curved in the middle, place it so that it naturally cups the shape of your eye, and lightly sweep outwards.
- Aim to layer individual lashes evenly, even the areas of your eyes that are hard to reach by normal brush types of mascaras. "Rubber bristles flex with movement and shape the eye, unlike regular bristles, which can be stiff and hard to control," says Kimara Ahnert, a New York City-based makeup artist.
- Cause a defined separation for your lashes that look thick at the base and have sun-like rays toward the end. "When you're going for length, try a wand with longer more separated bristles that have a comb-like look," adds Ahnert.
- If you have short eyelashes, Ahnert recommends using a wand with small bristles. You can get very close to your eye, and even apply a coat to the bottom lashes.
My first impression for this video is, "What, it's PINK??" I was thinking why the packaging is in PINK colour?? Don't you think its way too girly??? Even though I know Maybelline product is for women but still why PINK. But I still want to try it... I'll love a mascara so much because of the way it separates and lengthens my lashes without using falsies. Who doesn't want a long and thick lashes right?? Other than that, it says that Maybelline One by One Mascara gives " flirtiest lashes without the bulk with the revolutionary lash catcher brush that catches, coats and de-clumps every lash one by one", from what I see from the video. So I'll go have a try on it...Have you tried this product? And what are your thoughts?
