Clarins Mascaras

Do you want your lashes to be extra long, full, or voluminous? Maybe you want both length and volume? Let us guide you through the different terms:

• A volumising mascara makes lashes look thicker and larger. Sometimes volumising mascaras can be a bit sticky, but there are lots of nice ones to use.
• A lengthening mascara builds on the lashes to make them look extra long. Some contain fibres, which can give the same effect as false lashes.
• A defining mascara covers each lash separately, without clumping them together like volumising mascaras do. It also tends to add length to really enhance the lashes. This type of mascara thus provides both length and separation.

By applying many different layers, you can often decide for yourself how much length and volume you want to achieve.

Of course, no one longs for a mascara that smudges, crumbles and gives them panda eyes after a couple of hours. Reading about mascara tests and seeing what beauty journalists think about products tends to be a good way to avoid incorrect purchases. But the type of mascara is also important.

A waterproof mascara resists rain and sweat. Water is often required to be above 38 degrees in order to release the mascara from the lashes. A waterproof mascara stays in place until you wash it off with a makeup remover. A two-phase cleanser is often required, i.e. a product consisting of both oil and remover that are shaken together before use. A tube mascara sits like small tubes on the lashes. Only water above 38 degrees is able to wash it off.
