The key to picking the right mascara for beautiful lashes is choosing one that will build on the strengths that nature has given you. With all of the specialty mascaras available today, there are niche products designed to bring out the best in your unique lashes. There are three basic things a mascara can do to give you beautiful lashes: lengthen, curl, and thicken. What the right mascara for you will be depends entirely on what your lashes have, and on what they need. Use this guide to the different lash types, and the products that will bring out the best in yours.

Short And Thick Lashes

Short lashes are actually a beauty blessing in disguise. If your eyelashes are on the short side, that usually means that they are thick, providing the kind of strong definition around the edge of your eye that other girls need to artificially create with a heavy liner. The right mascara for you will add a little bit more heaviness to the tips of your lashes, creating the illusion of more length. This will heighten drama, creating a classic, glamorous look. A lengthening mascara will help your beautiful lashes get the attention they deserve by building a little extra length on your robust foundation.

Long And Thick Lashes



Although long lashes naturally draw attention to your eyes, they sometimes end up hiding their length in droops due to lack of volume. The longer your lashes are, the more likely they will be to need a little bit of an extra boost to keep them standing at attention. The right mascara will help your long, thick lashes stay aloft by adding a little bit of extra shape. The specially curved brush of a curling mascara works with the liquid’s firming properties to gently sculpt your lashes as you glide the product on. If you have long lashes, make the most of them with a curling mascara that will give your lashes lift, revealing every inch of your beautiful lashes and the flashing eyes they frame.

Thin Lashes


Takeaways
  • For short, thick lashes, add drama with a lengthening mascara.
  • For long, thick lashes, get a gentle lift from curling mascara.
  • Make the most of the flexibility of thin lashes with an eyelash curler.
