Beauty How To: Mascara — The CheapChica's Guide to Style


Beauty How To: Mascara

by cheapchica11 on June 11, 2009

As my name suggests, Daramascara, was coined because, like many of you, mascara is my ‘stranded on a desert island’ product.  I am obsessed with finding not only the best mascara, but also the perfect combination to ensure lashes are lengthened, thickened, dramatic, clump free, and don’t flake.  Uhhh…I’m out of breath!

maybelline_lashstylist-ms_fullBelieve it or not, my favorite mascara of all time is budget-friendly Maybelline Lash Stylist in Very Black…it’s only $5.99! The well spaced teeth of this small comb deposits more product at the roots of the lashes for an extremely black, defined look.  This allows for you to repeatedly stroke the wand through the lashes to build for volume.  I love the fact that you can layer any mascara on top and it will not clump because the majority of product layers at the root.

Pro-tip: In a hurry?  Softly sketch the tip of the wand of the Lash Stylist Mascara through the bottom lash line and smudge with fingers as a quick liner application- Double Duty!

Pro-tip: Small eyes?  Skip the ‘Fat Brush’ trend and stick with thinner mascara wands that build volume for the root of lashes.  If the brush is bigger than your eye it defeats the purpose of layering for volume
