Mascara is a makeup product that most women consider essential. However, you may be overwhelmed by the sheer number of kinds and brands of different mascara. Despite the wide range available, choosing the best mascara for your needs is not that difficult.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Choosing Mascara

1. Find a mascara color that will complement your eyes and skin. For most people, brown or black works best.

2. Choose mascara that will lengthen and thicken your lashes. Some mascaras come with separate tips for this purpose, while others work to lengthen and thicken with one formula.

3. Set a budget for your makeup needs before you go shopping. Mascara comes in a range of prices, and it is easy to overspend if you don't have a clear price in mind.

4. Use waterproof mascara if the weather is humid or rainy, or if you foresee crying during the day. You can also use waterproof mascara if you intend to swim.

5. Choose darker mascara at night than during the day to create an evening feel for your makeup.

6. Test the mascara before purchase at a makeup counter if possible.

Tips & Warnings

• Higher quality products may be more expensive, but they often provide better results.
• Remember to purchase eye makeup remover to remove mascara before sleeping.
