Mascara Brush Basics Guide

Every single woman on this planet has a certain thing that she pays special attention to and that gives her a tinge of confidence. And if lashes are your thing, then you will most certainly find the following lines quite helpful. Choosing the right mascara is an exceedingly challenging task. Let me tell you something, the truth is that all mascaras consist of quite similar ingredients. That is, they only differ in their waterproofing qualities and their colours. It is actually the brush that does all the magic. And my intention is to offer you some pieces of advice that will help you choose the one that best suits the type of your lashes and will certainly provide you with the desired effect.

As mentioned above, the brush should correspond to your lashes' shape and length. Otherwise, the results after the application of the mascara might be disastrous. So, let's start with the first type of lashes – the short ones. You need to know that if their length is not particularly impressive, you should opt for a brush that will not only make them look longer and thicker, but which is also easy to work with. In other words, small ones with thickish bristles are best for you. You will be perfectly able to control the application, starting from the base of your lashes and slowly going towards their tips.

If you have short but thick lashes, then you might want to opt for longish brushes with evenly-spaced comb-like bristles. They will separate your lashes and make them look longer, without adding volume. If, however, volume is exactly what you want to achieve, then it is a good idea to pick a bigger and rounder brush. It will certainly provide you with the dramatic look that you crave for.

Curved wands are your best option for curling. However, you need to know that they are particularly suitable for longer and thickish lashes. So, if yours are short and sparse, then it is a good idea to avoid them. Here it is also important to mention that thicker brushes hold more product, so if you want a more theatrical look, then they are perfect for the purpose. If, however, you are looking for a wand that is best for an everyday make-up, then rubber ones with moderately- to sparsely-spaced bristles are just what you need. They will darken and separate your lashes, without making them look thicker and voluminous.

Do you want to define and shade your bottom lashes, too? Regular sized wands are quite ineffective in this case. There are several companies, however, that manufacture brushes, intended for bottom eyelashes. They are extremely tiny and easy to work with. What is more, they add a colour to the lashes, without clumping them or creating too much of a volume.

When it comes to definition and precision of application, there is no better option than spherical brushes. They, too, are extremely small and are able to separate every individual lash. Although working with these brushes might take a bit more time, they offer unparalleled accurateness. Their unusual shape, however, has one major disadvantage – if you apply mascara by means of a round brush, you are more likely to smear product on your lids as well.

These were some of the most significant details you need to pay attention to when you are looking for the perfect mascara wand. Determine the type of your lashes and go for a brush that will best define them. And one last piece of advice, make sure to clean it from time to time, by dipping it into hot water are saying from FirstClassCleaner Ltd.. Thus, you will prevent it from clumping your eyelashes upon application. And, after all, as any other make-up tool, this one should also be perfectly sanitised.
