It is useful to know about the properties and quality of the carcass for eyelashes to any woman before the purchase. The article describes the types of carcasses and its most famous manufacturers, as well as rules that will help not to make a mistake with choosing a carcass for eyelashes.

Rules for choosing carcasses

We can not always test mascara for eyelashes before buying. But there are rules that will help you choose the best mascara without opening the tube:

• Read the composition. Vitamins A, B, E, castor oil, keratin, proteins - the presence of these components indicates a good choice. It is not so difficult to make out whether the carcasses for eyelashes have mascaras, even if it is printed in English.
• Inspect other inscriptions on the packaging. The address of the manufacturer and production is indicated on the high -quality carcass for the eyelashes. All inscriptions should be clearly printed.
• Select the product for your needs. Blondes to the face are brown mascara. Those who wear lenses or glasses will be simpler and more comfortable with waterproof mascara.
• Do not take a tube from the window. It is highly likely that such mascara has already been opened, then it will thicken and dry out faster than non -chained.

If mascara is unpacked with you, the following factors are said about its quality:

• at the opening, cotton is heard;
• the aroma is pleasant, sweetish;
• no lumps;
• after application, it dries for a long time.

What should not be trusted when choosing a carcass for eyelashes?

• Fashion magazines. Like any media, the magazine lives at the expense of advertising. It is not difficult for the manufacturer to pay not only an advertising page, but also a conditionally objective rating of mascara for eyelashes, in which the desired model will be a winner.
• Women with a different type of skin. A certain type of skin determines the appearance of allergies or irritation. What is suitable for oily skin, it can negatively affect dry. The interaction with the texture of the product depends on the type of eyelashes. Always check the length, density, the color of the eyelashes before buying mascara, reviews for which you were convinced.
• Television advertising. She works with proven manipulation methods. Cosmetic advertising is based on the features of a combination of colors and backlight. Even if you can apply lengthening mascara as a professional stylist, you still will not be able to constantly be in the light that the professional operator put up. Scandalous precedents are also known. The manufacturer of mascaras for Loreal's eyelashes was fined for the use of overhead eyelashes in advertising.
• High price. With the same chemical complex and the shape of the brush, the difference can consist only in the level of the brand fame. Not always mascara, the price of which is higher, creates a greater effect or is applied better than the rest.

What can be the composition of the carcass for eyelashes?

The standard base for carcass is water, soap, fastening soap, sealing tar, dyes and preservatives. But on the tube, these substances will be described less familiar to us. The extension carcass for eyelashes will have fibers - micro -grort, nylon, silk. The composition is waterproof, voluminous - waxy substances. We talked about the following components at the beginning, now we will explain in more detail what functions they are responsible for:

• vitamins A, B5, E, F - nourish and give silkiness;
• keratin - covers with a film, thereby protecting the eyelashes;
• castor oil - stimulates growth, has an anti -inflammatory effect;
• lanolin - moisturizes, counteracts brittleness;
• UV filters-protect against solar radiation.

Types of carcasses for eyelashes

In addition to the general rules, there are also options among the purpose of the carcass. Consider how carcasses are for eyelashes, what are their advantages and disadvantages. In some cases, for example, with waterproof mascara, consider the optimal situations.

  Extensive mascara

A feature of such a carcass for eyelashes is visible lengthening. It is created thanks to the massive staining of the ends of the cilia. Two components are responsible for this effect. It is they should pay attention to when choosing an elongating carcass for eyelashes.

• A special shape of the brush. It can be made in the form of a double spiral, cone. A sign of lengthening carcass is the presence of two compartments at the tube - one for lengthening, the other for the dye.
• Special components. Silicone, plant fibers, silk threads, nylon.
  Extending mascara for eyelashes has its negative features. Problems with it may arise in those who wear glasses. When eyelashes are in contact with them, mascara can dirty glass or crumble faster than usual.

Volumetric mascara

Such mascara makes the eyelashes fluffy, wider and noticeable. This effect is created by wax, which envelops the eyelash, making it a little thicker. But given that the eyelashes already have a small size, such a thickening is quite noticeable. The volumetric carcass for eyelashes and the brush should be appropriate - with uniform bristles.
This carcass has a standard designation in the name - Volume.

Waterproof mascara

Mascara for wet weather, for bathing in the pool and the sea. It has resin in its composition, which prevent smearing. However, waterproof mascara is more likely to cause allergies.
The inscription “Moisture-Proof” on such a carcass means that it should withstand the maximum effect. However, it will have to be washed off with a special solvent.
Given the listed facts, cosmetologists do not recommend using waterproof mascara constantly. To reduce the aggressive effects of waterproof mascara for eyelashes, you can combine it with the usual one. The first layer is applied voluminous or lengthening, and the second - to fix it, waterproof.

How to dilute mascara?

Now that we have dealt with brands and types of carcasses, you can go to a specific household problem. How to dilute mascara is an actual question for those whose mascara has dried up earlier than three months after the start of use.  The main rule in this procedure is not to take care of the carcass, but about the eyes. Based on it, such options as alcohol -containing substances, saliva and simple water are rejected. For resuscitation, waterproof carcass for eyelashes is advised to hold a tube of carcass near the battery or in hot water. In this case, the water should not touch the place of twist. For ordinary carcass for eyelashes, 2-3 drops of the following solvents are suitable:
