Are all mascaras the same?

Definitely not. Most women have spent a lot of time and a lot of money to find a mascara for all the occasions life can deliver. There are more cosmetic lines today than one can possibly try. How lucky are we to have so many choices? There is a range of cost, but it isn’t always the most expensive mascara that is necessarily the best for you.

For a minimal makeup look, try a natural, lengthening mascara that will create subtle definition. When it’s time to go all out, a thicker formula with a brush to separate, coat and shape the lashes will be your go-to.

Sometimes having so many different mascaras to choose from can be a bit overwhelming. You may have to try a few to find the one that suits your lashes best. Once you find the one, two or three that work for you, a great mascara is always the perfect secret weapon to finish any makeup look. Hese are some faves.
