Mascara

The best mascara

There are so many different types that there is really no such thing as the best mascara. You choose the product you like and what suits your lashes. Whether this is a black volume mascara with a curved brush or a blue mascara that gives you length, the many different types such as colour, shape of brushes and effect allow you to create a beautiful look with your favourite eye make-up!

Types of mascaras

Colour

You can get mascara in almost any colour you can think of, but the most commonly chosen colour is black. Our runner up of a black mascara is the ZAO Bamboe Black Definition, it makes lashes longer, fuller and thicker. The ZAO Bamboe Plum is a gorgeous colour that creates an enchanting look. Try something different from the standard black colour and create a different eye look.

Brush

There are also many different mascara brushes. The difference in brush also gives the difference in the effect. Would you like to create volume or length or do you just want to give the lashes a subtle colour? The mascara brush determines this. Also pay close attention to whether the brush matches your lashes.

• Silicone brushes: These brushes do not absorb product into the brush. This has the effect that you can spread the product easily and well over the lashes. The result: fewer lash clumps. There are different types of silicone brushes.
• Brushes with bristles: With these brushes, you go for volume. Zig zag the brush through the lashes and you have instantly created dark and full lashes. Because this brush absorbs a lot of product, you may end up with clumps faster.
• Pointed bristle brush: The pointed tip makes it easy to take the lashes in the corners of your eyes. This brush also picks up a lot of product, so you may get clumps a bit faster.
• Curved brushes: The brush with a pre-shaped arch. This one is useful for creating a natural lift. The brush fits nicely to the lashes and eye shape. This kind is available is both the brush with bristles and the silicone variety.
• Brushes with multiple spheres: You see them coming by more and more, the brushes with a distinct shape. These are made for creating length and volume.

A regular or waterproof mascara

A 'regular' one is made on a water base. This is also why you can easily and quickly remove this product from your lashes. A waterproof mascara comes in handy if, for example, you have to cycle through the rain, if you like to swim or if you tear a lot. This way you avoid the panda effect. This version is more difficult to take off, though. You need a water-in-oil remover for this. Choose for example the RoC Double Action Eye Make-up Remover.

Effect

Would you like a volume mascara or rather one that gives length to the lashes? Or even both? There are many different types with the same effect. It is therefore important to choose the effect you want, the brush that suits your lashes and a waterproof or regular mascara. Have you found the perfect mascara? Then you can create the look you want with your lashes.
