Mascara brushes for what. Choose an eyelash brush. Wide brushes for a runway effect

The perfect eye makeup will depend not only on what kind of mascara you picked up in the store. It is the brush that takes over the main function! And cosmetics manufacturers offer beauties a huge variety of choices - short and long brushes, fluffy and rare, hard and soft, nylon and silicone. What brush will be the best for you?

Thin silicone brush for lengthening effect

Long silicone brushes are more common in cosmetics with a lengthening effect. This tool is perfect for this! It has a small base diameter and a sparse, short pile, which allows you to paint over eyelashes without lumps, while lengthening them and slightly lifting them.

A thin silicone brush should be chosen by girls with short eyelashes without a pronounced bend.

Fluffy oval brush for a "doll" look

This is a classic brush. Literally every cosmetics manufacturer offers mascara with a brush of this format. The pile in them is made of nylon, since silicone bristles will not give the desired effect. When choosing cosmetics, be guided by what kind of eyelashes you have. For long ones, a larger brush is suitable, and for short ones, a smaller one.

Mascara with a fluffy oval-shaped brush is suitable for make-up for those girls who have sparse eyelashes. You will get that same "doll" look - perfectly colored, thick eyelashes. To see the perfect eye makeup in the mirror, choose high-quality cosmetics, as the nylon fluffy brush can leave clumps on the hairs.

Multidirectional brush for unruly lashes

Girls with naughty eyelashes of different lengths can easily make beautiful makeup with mascara with a brush on which the villi are directed in different directions. The brush takes on several functions at once - ideal coloring, combing and fixing cosmetics on the hairs.

The pile on the tool is made of nylon. The bristles are quite thick, which allows you to separate even the most "tangled" eyelashes.

Figure-eight tassel for an open look

The brush with its profile resembles the number "8" - at the end and at the base it is wider, the middle is narrowed. This form allows you to paint each eyelash with mascara, separating the hairs, giving them volume and length. The brush is convenient to use, because you do not have to tilt your head to the sides to get to the short hairs in the inner and outer corners of the eyes. She also lifts her eyelashes - you get a wide-open look.

The bristles in the middle part of the brush stick together over time. Take care of your brush so that it lasts longer. Use a tissue to periodically remove excess makeup from it.

Flat brush for instant volume on lashes

A flat brush is very different from its counterparts. Its base has short (almost imperceptible), cone-shaped villi. Remove the brush from the tube - you will not immediately notice that there are bristles on it at all. The short pile and the base of the tool are made of silicone.

The flat mascara brush gives lashes instant volume as it literally layers makeup onto the hairs when applied. You need to work with it carefully so that cosmetics are not imprinted on the eyelids.

For perfect eye makeup, if you can not boast of the natural curve of the eyelashes, mascara with an elongated, curved brush will come in handy. You have probably seen such tools more than once.

Curved brushes can be made from different materials - nylon or silicone. Their length and degree of bend also vary. If your lashes are soft, unruly, and require careful combing along their entire length, look for a tool with crossed bristles.

Spherical brush for perfect lash coverage

A small round mascara brush (in shape somewhat reminiscent of a mace) no longer surprises anyone. A few years ago, she caused a real sensation.

Despite its unusual design, the round brush allows you to accurately paint over literally every hair. It is especially convenient to work out eyelashes in the outer and inner corners of the eyes. It will take time to get used to such a tool. Makeup at the same time takes more time than if you used a classic tool.

Spiral brush for long, voluminous lashes

If you make the highest demands on mascara (both volume and length of eyelashes), try cosmetics with a spiral brush. The pile of such a tool is twisted into a spiral around the entire base of the tool. The brush is often made of nylon, has a rather fluffy pile.

With a spiral brush, you will paint over each eyelash, make your eyes wide open.

Makeup brush with false eyelash effect

The brush-comb looks quite unusual, it resembles a hair comb (only in a reduced format) - a flat base with frequent teeth arranged in several rows. It perfectly separates the eyelashes and visually makes them longer. With such a brush, you do not have to use additional tools to separate the hairs.

The brush-comb, as a rule, has a pile made of elastomers.

The cone-shaped brush is ideal for "cat" eye makeup. It is a brush wide at the base, tapering towards the tip. Its very shape suggests that the hairs in the outer corners of the eyes will be stained much “thicker” than in the inner ones. Hence the seductive effect of the cat's eye. You don’t have to use a second layer of mascara to highlight the hairs in the outer corners of the eyes.

As a rule, such cosmetics come with a fluffy nylon bristle brush. Silicone is used extremely rarely - it performs the function assigned to it worse.

Please note that a cone-shaped brush is unlikely to suit owners of too short eyelashes. It will be difficult to make beautiful eye makeup, since the too voluminous base of the brush will not allow you to properly paint over short hairs.

In the world of cosmetics, every season is replete with new products according to current trends. Even such a banal thing as mascara gets original color and shape metamorphoses. If everything is more or less clear with flowers, then with brushes there is a complete mess. Almost all cosmetic campaigns promise amazingly long and thick eyelashes for any fashionista. But still, you should take the choice more seriously and choose mascara for your type of eyelashes. Read about it in the article.

Large brush with frequent bristles

A classic example of such a brush is the classic Dior Show mascara. Such a brush has frequent villi, it is round and elongated.

Who suits

Only for owners of long and thick eyelashes. It will be difficult to paint over high-quality short eyelashes with such a brush - you simply cannot work out the details. But if you have long enough hairs, then it is this brush that will allow you to achieve the most noticeable volume - in this sense, nothing compares to it!

Long silicone brush

Long silicone brushes with short bristles are most often found in lengthening mascaras.

Who suits

Girls with short eyelashes without a strong bend. This brush has a small diameter, which makes it easy to cover the eyelashes from the root and separate them. Another brush can play a cruel joke, and even the highest quality mascara will fall into lumps, and a thin silicone one will not let you down! For example, large and fluffy brushes are contraindicated for girls with short eyelashes - you are tormented by painting ...

Curved tassel

Curved brush with short bristles on one side and longer bristles on the other. This brush is ideal for curling and lengthening eyelashes, especially on the outer corner of the eye.

Who suits

How comfortable you will be with this brush depends on the shape of your upper eyelid. If it itself is slightly curved, then this tool is for you. It is this brush that allows you to achieve the most beautiful bend without unnecessary manipulation.

Short silicone brush

This small brush with short bristles allows you to be very careful in the process - paint over each eyelash and lift the hairs as high as you want.

Who suits

Everyone! Anyone who is not lazy and ready to learn how to use such a brush. It doesn’t matter if your lashes are long, thick, short or sparse… It is this brush that allows you to independently “regulate” staining and build eyelashes. She has one minus - you will need a little more time for your make-up. But it's worth it, isn't it?

cone brush

The brush is wide at the base and tapering towards the end, with a frequent pile, usually not silicone.

Who suits

Those who want to achieve maximum volume in the outer corner of the eye. Such a brush lifts the eyelashes in this particular area - you do not have to paint over or stretch them separately. But the choice of this brush does not depend on the type of eyelashes - it is not suitable only for owners of very short eyelashes, since the base of the brush is too wide for their convenient staining.

Today we will talk about one of the most important products in a women's cosmetic bag - mascara.

Mascara is perhaps the most sought-after product on the cosmetic market today - it is decorative cosmetics designed to emphasize, highlight and change the natural color of eyelashes. Mascara is produced in various forms: liquid, creamy and dry. It is also available in different shades and colors.

Mascara is designed to emphasize, increase the volume, shape and length of eyelashes. The most popular form of mascara release is tubes with a stick, at the end of which there is a brush applicator. The brush can be straight or curved, depending on the purpose of the mascara - to curl, thicken or lengthen the eyelashes.

Mascara ingredients typically include water, wax, forming particles, perfume, and preservatives. Some mascaras contain viscose or nylon fibers to lengthen the lashes.

Varieties of mascara

1. Mascara is waterproof (moisture resistant) and traditional (non-waterproof mascara). The first one is not afraid of snow, rain, or tears, it cannot be washed off with ordinary water, therefore, a special tool for waterproof mascara is used for make-up removal. Ordinary non-waterproof mascara can be easily washed off with water, but it is impossible to go to the pool and not turn into a panda with it.

2. You can also find colored mascaras in the store. Green, blue, purple, gold, brown - for every taste and mood. But bright colored mascara should not be worn during the day, it is intended for holidays or other suitable occasions, with the exception of dark colors - brown, dark green.

3. Classification of mascara by effect.

Volumetric and ink with the effect of false eyelashes. Such mascara visually thickens each eyelash, thereby creating volume. Usually voluminous mascara has a large pile brush, with which an expressive look is obtained, ideal for sparse eyelashes.

-curling designed to create a spectacular curl of eyelashes. Often the brush of such a mascara is silicone. For curling eyelashes, you can also use special curling irons, then the effect of wide eyes will be obvious.

-lengthening mascara is suitable for owners of short eyelashes. In addition to traditional components, nylon and silk fibers are added to such mascara.

It is believed that the final result of eyelash coloring does not depend much on the mascara itself, the whole thing is in the right brush, which should “pick up” the product well and “give it away” well. What brush shape is best for applying mascara? What is the brush made of? And what is more important for giving eyelashes extra length and volume - the mascara formula or the shape of the brush for applying it? Let's look deep into the questions and deep into the bottle of mascara:o)

Makeup artists claim that 70% of success when applied makeup determined by the brush, or brush, with which mascara is applied. Most modern mascara wands are made from traditional plastic, as well as innovative silicone, elastomer, or rubber. A brush made of modern materials is equipped with a more elastic pile, which is able to separate the cilia well and does not allow them to stick together. Thanks to this feature, eyelashes can not be combed after applying mascara.

Rubber and plastic mascara brushes

Separately, I would like to note the rubber and plastic brushes. Until recently, no one had heard of them, and now they have many varieties.

Chanel Extracils

Among the most successful recent inventions is ink Exceptionnel De Chanel , the brush of which is equipped with brushes (they pick up the right amount of mascara) and scallops (they distribute the mascara evenly from the roots to the tips).

New mascara Inimitable Intense by Chanel offers a high-tech flexible elastomer brush. Just a few movements - and your cilia are perfectly separated, long and fluffy.

New mascara Phenomen Eyes by Givenchy differs significantly from its own kind with a brush in the form of a ball. Now, following the example of professional makeup artists, you can hold the mascara vertically or diagonally, painting over and twisting the smallest eyelashes.

Which brush is right for you?

If your eyelashes are short and sparse, best of all they will be painted over with a rubber brush with a rare and thin bristle. Alternatively, you can buy mascara with an innovative round brush.

If your eyelashes are quite long, but you would like to increase their volume, The ideal choice would be a brush with sparse bristles - it will help distribute the mascara evenly along the entire length, which will make the eyelashes fluffy.

Short and thick eyelashes it is better to paint with a wide brush with frequent bristles.

If your eyelashes are long and thick, but do not curl up, but stick out with straight "peaks" - a curved brush with a twisting effect will help you. If you learn how to use it correctly, you will get the effect of false eyelashes.

soft eyelashes need a thick mascara and a good combing brush.

Hard eyelashes liquid mascara and a plastic brush, or fairly stiff bristles, are better.
rare eyelashes it is better to paint with thick ink, enveloping each hair and carefully separate them.
Long eyelashes it is better not to paint with mascara that has a lengthening effect, because. firstly, it will look sloppy, and secondly, the mascara will be imprinted on the eyelids.

Mascara: use it correctly

If you want to make eyelashes more voluminous and long, start coloring them from the roots, moving the brush from side to side.

During the application of the second layer, the brush should move from bottom to top, and to the very tips. 3-4 movements are enough to make your look irresistible. Do not forget about the cilia growing in the corners of the eyes - if they are carefully made up, the look will become radiant and radiant. For cilia in the corners of the eyes, it is more convenient to use thin and short brushes.

Necessarily use special combs for eyelashes. They help to distribute the mascara evenly along the entire length, get rid of lumps, separate stuck together cilia.

Little tricks:

• Before you start coloring your lashes, lightly powder them - thanks to this, the mascara will last longer without crumbling or smearing, no matter what. which brush did you choose?

• You should also apply eyeshadow base. This will reduce the fat content of the eyelids and the mascara will not spread when in contact with them. It is worth noting that for girls with oily eyelids, it is better not to use waterproof mascara, since the fat-soluble base spreads in contact with sebum. In this regard, conventional water-soluble mascaras will be more resistant.

According to cosmetic.ua

Before buying mascara, it is worth remembering that it is divided into 2 types depending on the composition:

• with a high content of wax and fatty substances;
• with high water content;

The mascara, which has a high water content, is usually thick in consistency, it lies on the eyelashes very easily and densely, gives a noticeable volume to the eyelashes. This mascara is just perfect for soft lashes. Using this mascara, you will quickly give your eyelashes the volume that you so desire.

Mascara, which contains a large amount of wax and fatty substances, has a more liquid consistency than the first type. It is well suited for thick lashes that are not easy to curl. Such mascara literally envelops the eyelashes without sticking them together, and dries quickly, but it is possible that it will crumble.

It is not difficult to understand which carcass of the two types listed above. You just need to apply the contents of the mascara on your hand and rub it lightly, where there will be an effect of an astringent consistency - this is mascara with a predominance of water; and if a creamy texture appears, it is a mascara with a high wax content. If already in this case you learn to understand well, then it will already be easier when choosing the mascara that you like.

Pay attention to mascara brushes

In addition to the composition of mascara, it is also important to pay attention to the shape of the brush, because in our time there are a great many of them, very different.

They are very diverse and each of them has its own purpose, in tandem with the composition of the native carcass, they either work wonders or vice versa.

Let's consider some of them:

• The standard and simplest brush with even bristles. This brush is recommended for soft eyelashes, it will help to give them volume and make them fluffy.
• Spiral brush. It is designed for any type of eyelashes, but it is especially great for coarse ones. This type of brush perfectly curls and separates the cilia, however, it will be difficult to separate very thin eyelashes.
• Eyelash brushes are also short and long. Short brushes are well suited for tinting eyelashes in the corners of the eyes, and long brushes perfectly paint over eyelashes completely, while the volume of eyelashes will be more noticeable.
• Combined brushes. This is when the bristles are long in the middle of the brush, and short on the sides, or vice versa. Such brushes must be purchased for those who want to get curled cilia as a result.

It is also worth remembering that mascara brushes are: silicone, rubber and even plastic. Such brushes have been advertised for a long time. But each of them has pros and cons.

For example, a silicone brush is able to perfectly separate eyelashes, but it cannot give a good volume and length.

Plastic brushes are rare and frequent, they must be selected according to the type of your eyelash density. After all, brushes with sparse bristles are unable to separate eyelashes well, they are more suitable for thick eyelashes. And brushes with frequent bristles do not curl eyelashes well.

With the tips you've read above and pinpointing your lash type, you're ready to head to the store for that mascara of yours!

9. Curved spiral

This is a mix of brushes No. 6 and 8.
