What Every Makeup Artist Needs in Their Kit: Mascaras
This series is a super hit, thanks to you guys! We love the fact that we can help you guys build your own starter kits and help amateur beauty lovers to understand what can be the best picks when it comes to makeup products. This week we are going to talk mascaras!
These are such a vital addition to your beauty bag. These can make or break a look instantly. If you are changing your look from office place to a quick dinner, just a few swipes of mascara can make such a difference. It’s perfect for day and night, and ties together any look perfectly.
Now there are tons of different types of mascaras out there. There are mascaras for separation and for length, for curl and for definition. There are curved wands and straight wands, waterproof formulas and lash-coating formulas. And the availability in colours is insane. But you need to identify what your requirement is. When it comes to the perfect everyday mascara, you should look for a formula that's effective yet lightweight - and with no clumps - along with a brilliant brush for lengthened, defined and evenly-coated lashes at the stroke of a wand. If you are a budding makeup artist, then you need to have a variety of few in your bag. Some can be for volume, some for lengthening and some in different colours.
