From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Mascara is a cosmetic used to darken, thicken and define eyelashes. It's available in three different formulations: cake, liquid, and cream. It also comes in many diffrent shades and tints. It can help eyelashes to look thicker and longer. Mascara and eyebrow pencil should co-rdinate so the two colors don't clash with each other.
Chemistry
Mascara is available with tube and wand applicators. Mascara includes water, wax thickeners, film-formers and perservatives. Mascara brushes can be straight or curved, to curl eye lashes, with fine or thick bristles. Some mascara wands contain rayon or nylon fibers to lengthen the hair fibers.
Apply carefully. A major risk of injury is poking the eye with the applicator.Using Mascara
Mascara may be used on all lashes, from inner to outer corners. The mascara wand is dipped into a clean tube of mascara and applied close to the base of lashes and worked out to the tips.
