Mascara

 
Mascara
 
What forms do they come in?

Liquid- Liquid is the most common and popular type and are best for darkening and colouring eyelashes.

Gel- The majority of gel mascaras are clear however there are some that have a tint of colour to them. The clear gel mascaras help smooth out the lashes as well as separating and lengthening lashes. These can also be used on eyebrows to help them keep their shape (I think of it as a form of hair gel that you can use on the eyes). You can also use this type of mascara as a base which you apply before putting on normal mascara; this can help keep the mascara on for longer. If you’re going for a very natural look them this is perfect for you.

What results do they give?

Volumizing mascara-This gives the lashes a more thicker and more full look. This is perfect if you have quite spaced out and larger gaps between the lashes.  

Lengthening mascara-this lengthens the lashes and is ideal for people with short sparse lashes. To get the most benefit apply two coats.

Defining mascara-this helps make already thick and full lashes appear more natural or to enhance the lashes. You should not apply more than two coats or this can make the lashes look clumpy and thick, which is the exact opposite of what you want.
