Mascara 101 : How to Choose "The Right" One

Hey beauties,

Today's topic is about mascaras. Mascaras for me is a beauty product that complete my look for everyday.  I can still go out the door even not wear them, but they add "wow" factor to my make up for the day. Some people even say that mascaras is a "high heel" for the eye, it lift and open up your eyes, make it elegant, beautiful, and fresh. So yes, I am not addict to mascaras, but still there a staple stash for the in my make up collection.

How to Choose Right Mascara


How to Choose?

Mascaras is about two thing : the wand and the formula. The wand more exactly to be important, the formulas just similar one to another, just another plus fiber, protein, and bla bla bla. Every mascara wand and formulas have their unique and specialty, the wand will define the lashes, so choose wisely the wand and formulas of your mascara!

Before you buy some mascara, know your lashes first and how you want them to be. Different people must be have be a different type of lashes. Here some tip for choosing "the right" mascara:

For thin lashes : Go For Fiber Big Separated Mascaras!

Benefit - They're Real! Mascara
You want lot of volume for your lashes. This type of wand will be perfect then. The wand have a separate brushes so they will separate your lashes into individual one, in same time add volume to each lash of your lashes. Plus, this benefit mascaras have fiber formulas in it, so the fiber will be stick to your lashes naturally and make it thick and voluminous. So perfect for thin lashes!


For straight lashes: Go For Waterproof Curved Mascaras!

Maybelline - THe Falsies Mascara

You want your lashes to be curled beautifully. Asian tend to have short straight lashes (me too!) that are hard to be still curled in the end of your day after you apply make up. For this type of lashes, wear the waterproofed one! The waterproof one will hold the curl longer that the not waterproofed one. Yes, they are pain in the ass to be erased, but the gain your lashes will be curled prettily till the time you remove it. The curved wand like this Maybelline one is great to help you curled naturally the lashes even you don't use eyelash curler. So easy to use when you don't have time in the morning.

For short lashes : Go For Slim Wand Mascaras

Lancome - Definicils Lengthening Mascaras
you have a very short lashes and you want length - but you hate thick clumpy lashes. This is perfect the for you. If you just want to add length to your lashes, just wear the slim and brushy wand like this, it will built the lashes that you want. The wand will build the length, but not make it clumpy nor thick. Just add the beautiful long lashes.

For "different" lashes : Go for Color Mascara!

Make Up Forever - Smoky Lash Collection

This will be a substitute for your bright eyeshadow and eyeliner in this summer. If you tired of usual make up, for a fun party - wear this! It pops your beautiful eye, but still natural rather than wearing color eyeliner. The tip is wear color mascara that complement your eye color, example: you have brown eyes than wear the blue mascara one.

Innisfree - Eco Eyebrow Mascara in Brown

People are tend to using the black color mascara to enhance the color of their nature lashes. But, I tell you, if you want your make up look, especially eye make up look really natural, try the brown mascaras. They are great for make "delicate" look. Your eye will be such a natural, doll look. If you want to step out from routine black mascara, but you afraid of the color one, try this dark brown. Still natural but different than usual.

mascaras and their type of wand
Maybelline
I said for cheap mascaras go for Maybelline. Maybelline really does a good job in their mascaras. The falsies - the best everyone worldwide favorites, The magnum - perfect for thickening your thin lashes, The rocket - separate your lashes and add thickness to each of lash. None of Maybelline lashes is bad. For mascaras that you used everyday, cheap but function well is the best of the best.

Max Factor
Max Factor does a really good job too in mascara section. The black one on this is hold the curl perfect lybecause of the waterproofed. It is slightly more expensive that maybelline one, but still worth to try. I really recommend this for straight lashes, because the curl won't down until you remove it.

Majolica Majorca
It is Japan known brand, at least in Japan and Hong Kong. The brand is on the pricey side, high brand. Maybe the boom is not in Indonesia yet, but I'm sure there is a store in Indonesia branch, Kota Kasablanka. This is the best mascaras that they have and it make your lashes perfect beautiful. If you want to splurge on mascara, go for this. I know it is a lot for just a mascara. But still a beatiful packaging yet excellent quality.
