If you're the "just a quick comb-through" type, use a wand that deposits a lot product so that those few swipes will completely coat your lashes. Vickery recommends a traditional wire brush (over the newer plastic ones), because it picks up a lot of mascara and delivers it to the base of the lash. You can use a plastic bristle, however. Just choose one with a wide core (the rod that the bristles poke out of). The fatter the core, the more product you get when you pull it out of the tube.
Because twisted wire wands aren't as good at keeping lashes clump-free, those who are more high-maintenance with their mascara application should go for a rubber brush &mdash: this will let you apply over and over again sans clumping.
According to Vickery, the CoverGirl Clump Crusher mascara was designed with these perfectionists in mind: "The precisely engineered tight spacing between bristles is smaller than the average clump size - so clumps are stopped before they even start forming on the brush."
