Top ranked mascara in 2022

Mascara is a very indispensable item in almost every girl's makeup bag. It curls eyelashes, makes them visually thicker and longer.

Each type of eyelash needs its own mascara, and any professional makeup artist will confirm this. Therefore, the issue of choosing this decorative product must be approached with special care, otherwise problems with eyelashes cannot be avoided.

How to choose the right mascara?

Classification of carcasses by composition.

The modern range of decorative cosmetics for the eyes is huge, especially for mascara. Manufacturers offer not only decorative mascara, caring mascara is also relevant.
Depending on the composition and the brush used, incredible results can be achieved by turning cilia of modest length and volume into seductive “fans”.

According to the composition, the following types of mascara can be distinguished:

• Creamy with a high fat and wax content. This type includes mascara with the effect of increasing the volume. More oily, it fits snugly on the cilia, enveloping and increasing them in volume. Great option for soft textured hair.
• Mascara, which contains a high percentage of water. This type has a more viscous consistency. It lays down on the eyelashes with a thin layer, without gluing them. This mascara dries quickly, but can crumble during the day. Great for tough lashes.

When choosing mascara, the first thing you should pay attention to is its composition. It must contain:

• water;
• soap;
• soot;
• sealing resins;
• coloring pigments;
• preservatives;
• wax components.

In addition to these components, the composition of cosmetic products includes other nutrients:

• keratin - this component envelops each eyelash and forms a thin film on it. The film strengthens, protects from external factors;
• castor oil accelerates the growth of eyelashes and, in addition, strengthens, nourishes eyelashes and relieves inflammation;
• lanolin, this substance nourishes the hairs and resists their fragility;
• wheat germ proteins, these components stimulate the growth of eyelashes;
• melanin protects the hairs from the influence of negative external conditions;
• vitamins - A, B, E, F, these components strengthen the structure of eyelashes, moisturize them, make them soft and silky;
• due to ultraviolet filters, there is a protective effect and neutralization of the negative effects of solar radiation.

Classification of mascara according to the type of brush.

In addition to the composition, when choosing mascara, you must also consider the shape of the brush. After all, it is she who helps to achieve the desired effect.

• Classic brush with bristles of the same length ensures even distribution of funds. She does not add length or volume to the eyelashes, but only paints over them, making them silky. Great for highlighting the natural beauty of the eyes.
• A brush with bristles arranged in a spiral, designed for staining and separating hard eyelashes.
• silicone brush - this is a unique design with which you can increase the length, volume and ensure perfect staining of hairs.
• Tapered brush with dense bristles traditionally used in volumizing mascara. The non-standard shape of the brush ensures perfect staining and separation of lashes. The thicker the hairs on it, the more carefully the eyelashes will be dyed and the look more voluminous.

The brushes differ not only in shape, but also in the length of the bristles. Options with long bristles paint over eyelashes well and increase their volume. Short bristles are necessary for ideal staining of small hairs located in the corners of the eyes.

The brush has a double effect, which combines short and long bristles. Traditionally, curling mascara is provided with similar options. With this option, it is easy to create the perfect volume and curl absolutely all eyelashes.

Comparative characteristics of various brushes.

Type of brush	Basic properties
Straight	instantly emphasizes the look, suitable for any type of eyelashes
Oval with fluffy bristles	picks up a lot of mascara, makes eyelashes thicker and thicker
with ball tip	it is easy to create the effect of "open eyes" and paint over even the shortest eyelashes from roots to tips
With silicone bristles	the optimal amount of mascara, it is easier to paint over eyelashes
curved	repeats the natural curve of the eyelashes and curls them
Tassel-eight	suitable for layering; curls, lengthens and curls lashes
With sparse bristles	coats lashes from root to tip, ideal for a natural look

Cosmetic effect from mascara.

The choice of mascara must also be carried out depending on the effect that can be achieved with its help.

• If the priority is to increase the length of the eyelashes, then you can not do without the option with a lengthening effect. It consists of the finest silicone or nylon fibers, which during application adhere to the hairs, increasing their length. The disadvantage of this type is that when applied excessively, the villi stick together, greatly weighing the eyelashes.
• Incredibly popular mascara with the effect of false eyelashes. By lengthening and enlarging the eyelashes, it gives them a beautiful curve, which can be achieved only with the help of special curling tongs. To achieve the effect of false eyelashes, the presence of oils, wax and microfibers in the composition of the carcass, as well as brushes with bristles of various lengths, allows.
• Waterproof mascara is the perfect option for those who want to stay fully equipped even on the beach or in the pool. The composition of the mascara includes special waterproof pigments that allow the eyelashes to remain beautiful and voluminous even in extreme conditions. The disadvantage of this type can only be considered that it can be washed off only using special cosmetics for waterproof cosmetics.
• Mascara with the effect of increasing the volume will help to increase the thickness and length of the eyelashes. The silicone fibers and wax included in its composition tightly envelop the cilia, making them shiny and elastic. The brush with thick bristles contributes to the creation of additional volume.

Mascara with special care.

In addition to options with a decorative effect, there is also a therapeutic mascara that combines healing and decorative qualities. Depending on which components are included, the following types can be distinguished.

• Firming. The formula of this mascara is enriched with natural oils, herbal extracts, protein, lanolin, natural wax and carotene. The use of the product allows you to make the cilia stronger, longer and smoother.
• Mascara with vitamins. The name speaks for itself - the composition of the product includes vitamins, protein, keratin, melanin, as well as substances that provide UV protection for eyelashes. Mascara provides gentle care and protection of eyelashes from the negative effects of the environment.
• Hypoallergenic. A great option for people who are allergic to decorative cosmetics, to the components included there. Mascara for sensitive eyes does not contain preservatives that cause allergies, redness, itching and inflammation of the mucosa.

The advantage of cosmetics with a healing effect is that they are suitable for women with sensitive skin, prone to allergies, as well as for those who use contact lenses. The use of such products can become part of the complex treatment of allergies to mascara.

The choice of mascara depending on the type of eyelashes.

Of course, there are a huge number of different types of mascara on the market.However, there are still certain criteria for choosing mascara depending on the type of eyelashes.

Long eyelashes.

You should choose mascaras that curl your lashes, and the same curved brushes (like the Maybelline Volume Express Curved mascara) to make your own lashes more lifted, curled and give them a lifting effect. When staining eyelashes, keep the brush in a vertical position and pull them towards the temples: this way it is possible to create a “cat” make-up even without arrows drawn with eyeliner. In addition, makeup artists recommend girls with long eyelashes to properly paint over those that are located at the outer corners of the eyes.

Short eyelashes.

You should choose thin brushes with tightly spaced bristles to paint over both short and long eyelashes (you can pay attention to Hypnôse mascara from Lancôme). They, among other things, should not be too plastic, but rather rigid and elastic: this will allow, firstly, to easily and evenly apply the pigment, and secondly, to lengthen the eyelashes and fix the result.

Straight, but not curled eyelashes.

For curling eyelashes, you need to use a curler that gives them the desired effect. Carcasses should be chosen curling (suitable, for example, Volume Million Lashes Feline from L'Oréal Paris) and applied with the same movements, giving them a bend. After there is no pigment left on the brush, give the eyelashes a vertical, curled position with your fingers and hold for some time so that the effect remains this way throughout the day.

Eyelashes with hairs of different lengths.

Continuous use of serums, boosters, and other eyelash products can damage them.When the job is already done, and you don’t want to give up mascara at all, formulas with a large number of natural ingredients in the composition will help to correct the situation (phytokeratins and panthenol, which promote eyelash growth, should also be on the list of ingredients), as well as mascaras with the effect of false eyelashes and large conical brushes. You can take into account, for example, YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils mascara.

Determining the suitability of mascara in a cosmetics store.

To check the suitability of the mascara, you need to conduct a small test in the store: make a sweeping stroke with a brush on the back of your hand. If the smear turned out to be even without crumbs and clots, this is a quality product that will help create a charming look.
