Lengthening

The best to use if you have short lashes that could use some length is one that has a lengthening effect. This product aims to lengthen lashes while also assisting in their separation. Small fibers are added to the ends of your lashes by this to make it work. This creates the appearance of slightly longer eyelashes. Avoid going overboard because it can cause clumping. The fibers, which are typically made of nylon or rayon, aid in lengthening and separating the eyelashes. It will fill in the gaps if your eyelashes are short or thin. It is best to apply two or more coats in order to get the best results.

Thickening

This is also known as volumizing mascara, will give your lashes a little more drama by making them thicker, darker, and fuller. For a night out or whenever you want to draw attention to your eyes, a black, thickening tube is perfect. This product would be appropriate for you if all you want is to give your lashes more volume and they are already fairly long. Just be mindful not to apply too much, as this can cause clumpy “spider lashes”. Two coats on the top and one on the bottom should be sufficient. Before using an eyelash curler, wait two minutes and check to see if the desired look has been achieved.

Lash Defining

This kind of mascara gives your lashes the full treatment by lengthening, coloring, and enhancing their fullness. This product is very thick and gives lashes a dramatic appearance. After using the eyelash curler, apply two coats of lash-defining mascara on the top lashes and one coat on the bottom. Because of their thickness, the majority of them are waterproof, so if you intend to wear makeup all day, use this. When you’re wearing no or minimal makeup, lash-defining mascara will draw all attention to your eyes. Also, this mascara is prone to clumping, so use caution when applying.

Curling

Almost all types of lashes respond well to curling mascara. It gives you an awakening appearance that makes you appear more alert and vivacious. Additionally, curling mascara helps to open your eyes and elongates the lashes, making them appear longer. You can use this on its own and then use an eyelash curler to complete the look, or you can use your regular mascara first and then add the curling mascara as a finishing touch.
