Best Mascara

Now take your lashes all the way to big, bold, beautiful

Most women ask me, "What is the best mascara to use?" It is not only the brand and type of mascara, but it is also how is is applied that makes a difference. In my experience, Estee Lauder has an amazing masacara for any occasion.

If a client is looking for full, bold lashes I recommend Estee Lauder's Sumptuous mascara. It lifts and plumps even sparse lashes into big, lush lasheswith a flirtatious curl. Each lash looks incredibly long and dark, yet remains individually defined for an overall natural finish -- like you were born with to-die-for lashes. Count on the mascara to last for hours without flaking.

If a client requests waterproof mascara, I recommend Lanocme Definicils Waterproof. There's a reason this mascara wins awards -- it's amazing. One coat gives you lashes so long they practically touch your eyebrows, and each lash is defined without grouping or clumping. Plus, it doesn't flake or smudge all day and removes easily with eye makeup remover. The black shade offers rich color, and the long tube will last at least a month or two without drying out. It's not a cheapie, but the quality formula makes it worth a few extra dollars.

Simply Beautiful Tip for Extra Long Mascara Wear:

Be sure to prep your lashes; for straight lashes use a lash curler. Apply one coat regular mascara, at an angle using short sweeping strokes. Let your mascara set for 1 minutes. After the mascara is slightly dry, apply one coat of waterproof mascara. The waterproof ensures minimal smudging and staying power while the coat of regular makes the mascara come off with great ease at the end of the night!
