In a time where face masks have become as normal as putting on your shoes, we witnessed a rise in demand for mascaras the past year (for obvious reasons). While your mask invariably ends up covering most of your face, you atleast have perfectly curled lashes to flaunt all day. However, choosing a mascara can be tricky. So, whether you’re looking for a coloured or transparent mascara, or a product that gives you voluminous eyelashes—we’re here to help you pick the best mascara for your eyes. Read on for Nykaa’s edit of the best mascaras that deliver definition, volume, and length.

3. Wet n Wild Mega Clear Mascara – Clear

If you’re a fan of gorgeous, long eyelashes but don’t want colour, you could go for the Wet n Wild Mega Clear Mascara – Clear. This transparent mascara effectively lifts and separates your lashes, thus making your eyes pop beautifully. Enriched with soy protein and vitamin E, this is a great mascara for your eyelashes as it not only conditions them but also adds a protective basecoat which can help seal the mascara and prevent flaking.

7. Nykaa Lash Talk Super Sizer Volumizing Mascara

The Nykaa Lash Talk Super Sizer Volumizing Mascara is a great at grabbing, separating, lifting, and curling your delicate eyelashes with just one stroke. This Nykaa mascara is created specially for people with finer eyelashes as it can thicken and add intense volume without weighing them down. Its deeply pigmented black colour application also ensures that your lashes look naturally gorgeous everywhere you go.

How To Apply Mascara The Right Way

Now that you’ve picked the mascara of your choice, here’s a quick guide to applying it the right way.

Step 1: Hydrate

These days, most mascaras come enriched with hydrants that keep your lashes nourished. However, it’s always good to go the extra mile by regularly applying eyelash butter as well. Use a super-nourishing formula, like the ENN Blink Balm Eyelash, Lid & Brow Butter, and gently rub it on your lashes. Keep it on overnight and wash it in the morning. This will ensure that your lashes do not break off or get damaged with time.

Step 2: Curl

The first step in perfecting your mascara makeup routine is using an eyelash curler to separate, lift, and curl your lashes. This ensures easier and better mascara application. Choose one that has a comfortable, cushioned grip and soft rubber pad, like the Bronson Professional Premium Eyelash Curler, and hold it at the base of your eyelashes. Make sure you’re looking straight while pressing. Then, gently look down and press the curler.

Step 3: Use A Lash Primer

Before you apply your mascara , we recommend you apply a lash primer. Lash primers, like the Smashbox Photo Finish Lash Primer, help strengthen, lengthen, and volumise your lashes beforehand so that the mascara application is more effective.

Step 4: It’s Mascara Time

It’s finally showtime. Take your mascara and slowly pull the wand out. Tap it on the edge of the bottle to get rid of the excess product, then place the wand at the base of your eyelashes and glide it back and forth in the direction of your lashes. You can apply multiple coats for more thickness. Use the tip of the wand to apply mascara on the edges of your upper eyelashes as well as lower eyelashes, which are more delicate.

Application Tips

1. Follow The Right Order

When doing your eye makeup, always follow the right order. First apply eyeshadow, then eyeliner and lastly, mascara.

2. Avoid Clumping

Sometimes, applying mascara can lead to clumped-up eyelashes. In order to avoid this, make sure to get rid of the excess product before applying it. You can also use tools like eyelash curlers to separate, lift, and curl your lashes beforehand. This will ensure a smooth one-stroke application. In case your lashes are already clumped-up, you can use a clean toothbrush to comb through to fix it.

3. Top And Bottom Lashes

Most people only apply mascara to the bottom part of the eyelashes. However, for an intense, voluminous look, you must apply it to both the bottom and the top eyelashes.

4. Pay Attention To The Small Lashes Too

Pay special attention to the smaller lashes at the edges of your eyes. To get this part right, use the tip of your mascara wand and move it in a vertical direction.

5. Experiment With Brush Angles

Depending on the kind of angle, a single mascara can give you several different types of finishes. The secret is in how you hold your eyelash mascara wand during the application. Holding the wand horizontally will thicken your lashes and add volume. On the other hand, holding it vertically will lengthen your lashes and give it a more natural look.

6. Bend It

Bending the tip of your mascara wand can help you reach all the hard-to-reach parts of your eyelashes during application.

7. Experiment With Different Mascaras

You don’t need to have one favourite mascara only. Different mascaras offer different finishes and looks so experiment and see what works for you. Some might be great for a natural look, while others make your lashes pop beautifully.
