Salon Sanity’s Take on How to Choose the
Right Mascara?
Did you ever realize how a little mascara
can change the whole look of your makeup application? Are you tired a buying
mascaras that don’t work? Are you confused about what type of brush or type of mascara
to use? No worries because the Salon Sanity Team has done the research for you.
Allure
magazine recently did an article on this very topic. According to makeup artist and Lazy Perfection founder Jenny Patinkin, not
all wands are created equal. "Brushes come in lots of shapes and sizes,
pick up different amounts of mascara, have bristles that are more or less
densely packed, or have varying degrees of flex. The results you get absolutely
depends on the wand.
But the most important part of finding your mascara-wand soul mate might
surprise you: "The size of your wand should make sense for the size of
your eyes," Patinkin says. "I like a wand that's medium size, densely
packed, and has a pointed tip, because it works on all eye shapes and
sizes."
For volume on your lashes then a bigger fuller brush works best. If your
looking to extend the length of your lashes then a thin brush allows you to
focus on building the length. If you like your lashes to be separated then you
might opt for a tapered brush.
Here are some of Salon Sanity’s Teams favorite and why:
Cristina, Jamie, Haley, Brandi and Holly all like “Urban Decay Perversion
or Better than Sex. ($11-$23 depending on size). Brandi loves this because “ It
adds length and fullness without looking like spider lashes.”
Jennifer’s favorite is Christian Dior’s Blackout. “This mascara gives me
thick, long black lashes.” ($17-$28)
Cheryl’s favorite is Voluminous Million Lashes,
it’s affordable and does wonders! ($5.49)
Keyla’s pick is L’Oreal telescopic because it's like a knock off Better
Than Sex ($9.99)
Alesha likes Maybelline Falsies Push Up Angel because it separates the lashes,
plumps and lengthens. ($7.49)
All of these mascaras have a lot in common
such as long lasting, fullness, volume, length and increasing thickness. To
