The mascara wand can literally be your magic wand if you know your spells right of course, for that you need to pick the best suit for your lashes.
There are a multitude of mascara brands to choose from which cater to different needs- there’s volumizing mascara, lengthening mascara, colored mascara and more. Although the black mascara has been our favorite as most of us have been using it for ages, but we can certainly pick a new mascara basis our requirement.
Choosing a good mascara can become tricky if one is not aware of the specific functions of different mascara wands.
Remember, it’s not the viscous ink in the tiny bottle, but the wand that makes all the difference!
1. Volumizing mascara for fuller looking lashes
Make your lashes stand out!
If your lashes are thin and sparse, you should opt for volumizing mascara to amplify their appearance. For extra volume, you can opt for a mascara that has a triangular wand or a classic fiber wand with many bristles because when you want fuller looking lashes, the bigger the wand is, the better. Make sure you don’t apply too many coats- it will make your lashes look like an overgrown bulky bush and create a major make-up faux pas.
Try the following best mascara bands for more volume-
