Long Lash, Volume or High Definition- in the quest for the perfect mascara, the first question that comes to mind is: What wand will work best for my lashes? We let you in on what each mascara brush can do and what you should look for when buying one.
The lavera mascara guide-Which brush is right for me?
In search of the perfect mascara brush
Volume, definition, length, curl…what do I actually need?
One thing is clear: the right mascara will give you a brighter, wider gaze. Who wouldn’t want full and defined lashes? Even those who don’t wear too much make-up know that a touch of mascara can do a lot: it can thicken, lengthen and add a curvature to the lashes. Choosing the right texture, the right colour and obviously the right wand is key!
The range of mascaras and brushes is endless and it’s easy to get lost in the choice. To make matters worse, lashes naturally vary in length, shape and volume. Make-up challenges like hooded eyelids, wrinkles and oily under-eye skin can complicate things further. Not every wand works for everyone.
The material, shape and the arrangement of the bristles all play a crucial role in the effect created. Find out which mascara brush is best for your lashes and what effect it creates in our guide.
The most important question: rubber or nylon brushes?
Whether traditional nylon fibres or flexible silicone bristles, both materials have their advantages. The right choice depends on the quality of your lashes.
Brushes with dense and bushy nylon filaments pick up a larger amount of product and give your lashes extra volume. They coat each individual hair, making fine lashes appear thicker and fuller. The perfect brush for expressive eyes!
Soft rubber bristles give the wand more manoeuvrability, making it easier to apply mascara from the root of the hair and to get to hard-to-reach places. They tame and separate wild, unruly lashes, providing shape and definition. The fine bristles allow for precise application and literally comb through the hairs. Perfect for fine and short lashes.
