Lengthening Mascara Reviews


Makeup has been used by women for centuries together to accentuate their features and good looks. Since the eyes are known as windows to the soul, they are given prime importance on the face. Eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, etc. have been applied to the eyes to draw one's attention to their beautiful and vibrant looks. Mascara is applied to add volume and length to the eyelashes. Moreover, they are also applied to add a touch of color to the eyelashes and they give the eyes a sheen. People with particularly short eyelashes require special mascara; lengthening mascara to enhance the look of the eyes. There are several lengthening mascaras available in the market. However, before heading into the reviews, let's have a quick look at how mascara works on the eyelashes.

How Does Lengthening Mascara Work?

Lengthening mascaras are designed to create illusions of length and make short eyelashes look longer and fuller. They contain the regular mascara ingredients. In addition, they also contain some synthetic fibers, made of nylon or rayon which are purposely left on the eyelashes when applied. These synthetic fibers acts like extensions and give the eyelashes a naturally longer look.

Choosing the best lengthening mascara is not so easy. The kind of mascara you choose will depend primarily on your need and the activity you are undertaking. For example, if you are spending the entire day outdoors and want the mascara to stay, you need to wear waterproof mascara. Or else the sweat will wipe off all your mascara. However, waterproof mascaras are not recommended because they are deleterious in the long run. They require specific chemical cleansers to be removed. Thus, it's best to stick to water soluble mascaras.
