Are you going for those sultry lashes or just want a tinge of color on them, choosing the right mascara is vital to achieve this look. Here are some practical tips on using the mascara to get that look-at-me eyes.

Volumizing and Lengthening

If you want chunkier eyelashes, you should get a thickening formula while if you are looking to have some definition and separation go for lengthening formula. Dior has a great volumizing formula called DiorShow while Deifinicils line from Lancome can help you get the length you want.

You can also try to mix formula to achieve the best look you want. Just make sure to have the lengthening formula dry before applying the volumizing mascara  then apply on the outer edges some precision mascara.

Choosing the right wand

The eyelash mascara magic will depend on how you choose your wand. Straight wands will give you more versatility while the curved mascara wands will hug your lashes. You can also find oscillating wands on the market today but they can come difficult to control.

Waterproof

Use waterproof mascara sparingly. Do not pack it on or else your eyelashes might break. Only use it when you need the staying power of the mascara like if you will be performing or dancing the night away. If you want a really strong hold, you can achieve this by curling your eyelashes first, a coat of waterproof mascara, and a volumizing mascara.
