Mascara is a make-up bag staple. Adding fullness and volume to your lashes, there are formulas for curling, lengthening and colouring – but not all are created equal. There’s far more variety than meets the eye but, when it comes to finding the best mascara, understanding what makes each type unique is key to finding the right one for your lashes.
Make-up artist Mira Parmar – whose clients include Joanna Lumley and Celia Imrie – explains that traditional mascaras coat lashes with pigment, while tubing mascaras use polymer-based technology to wrap each lash in a tiny, flexible tube. The result? A smudge-proof, easy-to-remove finish that offers natural definition without the fuss.
