If you have blue-eyes you can have fun with light blue and darker blue mascara. Lighter blue will brighten up dark blue eyes. Darker blue shades give light blue eyes depth.

If you have green or hazel eyes you can wear any color of mascara and it will look great, If you really want your green eyes to stand out then purple works very well, especially if you are light-skinned and your hair color is auburn or red.

For brown eyes, you can wear burgundy or purple to make them look amazing!

For a Subtle look

The trick to a suble color of mascara for your complexion is to try different colors. Remember that warm colors look best on olive toned complexions and cool colors are best for rosey complexions. There are many types of mascaras to consider before you find the best one.

Since your eyes are the main feature of your appearance, making them stand out is very important. But, if you are going for a subtle look stick with brown colored mascara.

The Five Different Types Of Mascara

Today there are many different kinds of mascara available in the market. There are five different types of mascara. They are:

Lengthening Mascara
This kind of mascara has a brush with long bristles. These help you to put more mascara on the tips of your lashes. And, they help to extend your eyelash length.

Thickening Mascara
Thickening mascaras are made up of thick bristles. They also contain a mixture of silicone or other types of waxes, which help them to gain a thicker form. If you are looking to broaden your eyelashes and make them stand out more by thickening them, thickening mascara would be a great choice.

Waterproof Mascara
Waterproof mascara is excellent if you don't want to ruin the mascara effect, when out in rain or in the water. However, these types of mascaras can break your lashes so, apply Vaseline to the lashes or use a moisturizing eye makeup remover.

Curling Mascara
When curling your eyelashes you expose the eyes to give them better definition while adding thickness to the lashes. This brings out beautiful eyes, and very enhancing eyelashes. There are many mascaras to choose from, but with this latest technology we highly recommend high impact curling mascara. We think you'll love the results as much as we did.

Defining Mascara
Defining Mascara coats each lash to make them dramatically long, extremely defined, and separated lashes of your dreams!

One important point to remember is that some people have sensitive eyes and certain mascara can cause intense irritation in your eyes. Therefore, you need to make sure that the mascara you are going to use is friendly to your eyes. Imagine you put on mascara and it turns out that you are allergic to some sort of chemical that is used in it.

How To Apply Mascara

type=textWhen you apply mascara, start at the bottom eyelashes, and then apply to the top lashes and wiggle the brush as you apply up through your lashes. If you do your top lashes first, then when you look up, you will end up with mascara all over your brow and the top of your eye. So do the bottom lashes first. When doing the top lashes, roll a little bit of the mascara on the top and then just start at the base and wiggle your brush up through.

This is going to give you better separation, it's going to give you less clumping and it's going to make sure that your mascara gets on every lash. You can also, when you're wiggling your way up through, just hold it right at the tip for a couple of seconds, let the polymers in the mascara set and that's going to give you a little bit more lift and curl. So that's how you would to apply a mascara."
