How to Find the Best Mascara Wand for Your LashesBewildered by unending mascara wand options? We break down which wands do what so you can get the lashes you crave |
If You Want: All of the Above
Okay, so you want it all. Why not create your own mascara cocktail (the process of layering two or more types of mascara to your lashes)? Apparently I am late to this party, as nearly everyone in the office has mixed and matched their mascaras at some point. CoverGirl's Bombshell Volume mascara was partially inspired by women who like to combine mascaras. One side of the mascara is a volumizing formula and brush, while the other side is a thinner topcoat that, through the use of a different brush, adds intensity and depth of color.
And Buxom Amplified Lash Mascara is expandable -- when it is extended the spaced out bristles will give you volume, and when you collapse it the bristles move closer together to lift and separate your lashes.
Of course, doubling up on mascara is always fun. Here are some of our editor-approved cocktails:
Lift and Separate:
1 part Urban Decay Perversion Mascara + 1 part L'Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara
The Falsie Effect:
1 part Maybelline XXL Extensions + 1 part CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion + 1 part CoverGirl Clump Crusher
Come-Hither Curl:
1 part Dior Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara + 1 part Lancôme Definicils High Definition Mascara
