• bronchial asthma (may develop an attack during a session);
• pregnancy, breastfeeding period;
• eye diseases (infections, demodicosis);
• condition after blepharoplasty;
• weak, thin, rapidly falling hairs;
• increased oiliness of the skin (the adhesive bond is destroyed, the villi begin to fall off);
• taking certain medications.

In these cases, the best solution would be to create makeup using modern beauty products.

What type of mascara will give a building effect?

Modern beauty products include not only coloring pigments. Various components visually enhance the density, give curves to naturally straight bristles, and lengthen them.

Mascara increases volume and creates the effect of false eyelashes due to a combination of ingredients:

1. Silicone polymers and natural waxes envelop each hair, making it thicker; repeated application of the cosmetic product improves the result many times over.
2. During the dyeing process, flexible fibers of nylon, silk, and microfiber are interlocked and distributed along the entire length with a stiff brush, adding the missing millimeters.
3. Keratin and special organic resins are responsible for curling. The additives will create the desired degree of curl and securely fix it after drying.

Mascara with the effect of false eyelashes has a soft, moderately thick texture. This consistency helps prevent sticking. Products often include caring components - vitamins, mineral oils, proteins, which have a beneficial effect on the structure of the hair, providing it with nutrition and hydration. Manufacturers have expanded the color range of decorative items.

Along with classic black tones, store shelves are filled with cosmetic products in blue, brown, gray and green shades.

How to choose mascara to increase volume?

For volume of eyelashes, you need to choose a product individually, taking into account the fact that some varieties of this product can provoke an allergic reaction. If you have sensitive skin, you should pay attention to hypoallergenic types of products. The hypoallergenic product does not contain any fragrances.

The main criteria for choosing a good cosmetic product are:

1. No pungent or unpleasant odor.
2. Applying the manufacturer's barcode, date of manufacture and name of the manufacturer to the packaging. This data may indicate the authenticity of the product.
3. The components included in the product must be indicated in Russian. All ingredients must contain no suspicious chemical compounds.
4. Mascara should not have a liquid, but a creamy texture.

It is recommended that before purchasing the selected mascara, check it for lumps. For this purpose, you should run the brush over the back of your palm. The trace formed during this procedure should be smooth and free of inclusions and clots.

In many ways, giving the effect of volume depends on the design of the brush for applying the composition. To make this element, synthetic materials are used - silicone or elastomer.

The shape of the brushes can be different:

• have a bend;
• barrel-shaped;
• straight.

The bristles on the brush are dense and should be long. This design helps comb the eyelashes and separate them, making them lush, which increases their volume.

Rules for creating makeup

To achieve maximum volume and thickness, the effect of false eyelashes, makeup artists recommend listening to the advice of professionals:

• makeup is applied only to clean, dry hair;
• Apply a base under the mascara (it will ensure easy application and maintain the durability of the coating);
• use eyeliner to emphasize the growth line along the upper eyelid - it will enhance the expressiveness of the eyes;
• give a curved shape using special curling irons;
• coloring begins from the inner corner of the eye, it is better to hold the brush in a vertical direction;
• turn the brush into a horizontal position, paint from roots to ends with light, zigzag movements;
• do not try to put more product on the brush (the excess will stick together and form sloppy lumps);
• light dusting with transparent mineral powder will create additional thickness and increase the volume of false hairs;
• Resins and waxes noticeably make the product heavier; limit yourself to two layers of mascara to avoid rapid shedding.

Terms of use

To get the maximum effect from using the composition to add volume, you should follow several rules when coloring your eyelashes:

1. Before applying the composition to the hairs, you need to comb the eyelashes. For this purpose, special hard brushes are used. After combing, it is recommended to lightly powder them.
2. To ensure a good drawing of each hair, it is recommended to use the product using zigzag movements. Eyelash tinting should start from the root and gradually move up to the tips. During the procedure, the brush should be positioned vertically in relation to the eyelashes. You can blink before applying the product, lightly touching the brush with mascara.
3. After applying the first layer, the eyelashes need to be given a little time for the layer applied to them to dry. Only after drying is the second layer of mascara applied.
4. You definitely need to have a special brush for combing eyelashes in your cosmetic bag. It is recommended to use it immediately after applying the composition to the hairs. Using such a brush helps remove excess product and prevent hairs from sticking together.
5. To create an open look, it is recommended to dye the small hairs located in the corner of the eyes. In order to carry out such an operation, it is more convenient to use brushes equipped with short and hard bristles.
6. When heavily dyeing the hairs on the lower eyelid, the eyes take on an unnatural doll-like appearance. For this reason, it is recommended to only lightly paint the lower hairs and only on the outside of the eye. You also need to remember that the presence of long and voluminous lower hairs visually leads to a reduction in the shape of the eyes.
7. Women with blond hair are recommended to dye their eyelashes in brown or gray shades.
8. To create volume, soft brushes with long bristles are best suited.
9. Hard brushes are best used to separate hairs.
10. It is recommended to use a short brush to color all hairs.

Depending on the type of eyelashes, there are specific features in using mascara to add volume to eyelashes.

If you have straight eyelashes, it is not recommended to use mascara to add volume; this is due to the fact that under the weight of the product, the curled ends of the hairs will not be able to maintain their shape and will straighten.

Types of lengthening mascaras

• twisting

The main feature of eyelash curling mascara is, of course, a curved brush that follows the shape of the eyes, with small and short bristles. The formula of such a mascara, once on the eyelashes, tightens them a little and, as it were, bends the eyelash. Suitable for a natural look to color eyelashes from root to tip.

• waterproof

Whatever the brush of waterproof mascara, its main task is to fix the eyelashes with color for a long time, to prevent the mascara from crumbling and spreading under the eyes, so as not to leave panda circles. The basis of waterproof mascara is made up of various types of wax and volatile solvents, which create a waterproof film.

Removing makeup after waterproof mascara requires more effort - milk or micellar water alone is not enough; biphasic products containing oil are needed. Apply the product to a cotton pad and apply it to your eyelashes for a few seconds so that the cleanser formula dissolves and the remaining mascara can be easily washed off. Waterproof mascara has a more aggressive composition, so you should not use it on a daily basis, and for those with sensitive eyes and those who wear contact lenses, it is advisable not to overuse it.

• for volume

The volumizing mascara formula contains silicone, paraffin and wax. The consistency of this mascara is quite viscous (due to the wax) and when it comes into contact with the eyelashes, it covers them with a thick veil. The mascara brush resembles an elongated oval with small bristles. Volume mascara is suitable for those with sparse eyelashes and will create more thickness. The longer the eyelashes, the longer and larger the brush should be to capture and color all the eyelashes.

• colored

Summer is the season for colored mascara: pink, red, emerald, heavenly – you can’t count them all! However, almost every makeup artist has mascara in brown, deep blue and gray colors in their makeup bag. These are a kind of universal shades that can make the look more expressive and highlight the natural color of the eyes. Brown mascara, for example, will soften the image, make the look softer, besides, this shade will suit almost every girl and will look decent on a woman of a beautiful age. Blue mascara will advantageously highlight brown and green eyes, but for those with heavenly eye color, on the contrary, such mascara will simplify the look. Green mascara (not the color of freshly cut grass) is good to use for those with honey and blue eyes.

• with silicone brushes

Lately, mascaras with silicone brushes are appearing more and more often, which come in both long and short. The long silicone brush is ideal for those with short eyelashes - it will paint the eyelashes from the roots to the very tips and make the eyelashes longer. A short silicone brush is more fiddly to use, you need to get used to it, but it is with its help that you can regulate the process of applying mascara and the desired effect. The disadvantages of a silicone brush include eyelashes sticking together (this happens) and the effect of “spider legs” is created, the fashion for which is revived and then fades away.

• with fluff

Silicone brush or with bristles? There is no definite answer - it is a matter of habit and preference. It is generally accepted that a brush with bristles, which are arranged crosswise and one after another, is more suitable for those who are looking for volume and thickness, because the bristles, capturing the eyelashes, firstly, cover them with color and formula, and secondly, paint over the entire thirdly, the length of the eyelashes gives that “fluffiness”.
