If you've ever walked down a make-up aisle, you are fully aware that the available mascara options are nearly endless. So, which mascara is best? And what type of mascara will best fit your personal taste and needs for your lashes?

According to liveabout.com, these are the basic types of mascara:

  • Lengthening- This type of mascara is ideal if you are satisfied with the fullness of your lashes, but not their length. Some lengthening mascaras have longer brushes that don't have as many bristles as volumizing mascaras.

  • Volumizing- This type of mascara has a thicker formula and denser brushes to help coat your lashes and make them appear thicker. The one downside to this type of mascara is that it tends to clump more than most other types.

  • Waterproof- This type of mascara is great if you need to add an extra layer of protection to your make-up. Waterproof mascara is especially popular for brides on their wedding days (where tears tend to flow) or during the summertime when you're headed to the beach or the pool.

  • Non-clumping- This type of mascara has both a formula and brush that help to prevent clumping in your lashes.

Many brands of mascara also offer a combination of some of these elements, such as volumizing mascara that is also waterproof, etc. Mascaras also come in a variety of brands and colors.

If you are looking for the perfect lashes, a quality mascara is a great first step. However, mascaras can only go so far in creating long and luxurious lashes.

At Dolce Blu, we can work with you to create your dream lashes, and we can even tint your lashes, making mascara obsolete in your make-up regimen.

For all of your lash and brow needs, come to see at Dolce Blu in Austin, TX.
