Masacra Brush Basics!


 

The right mascara is just as important as the right foundation. Everybody loves the long thick eyelashes, and here are brushes that can help you achieve that look with spending $20 a pop to get fakes ones pressed on.


Curved/Crescent Wand
If you want your eyes to pop, curling your eyelashes is key. Pick a mascara wand that's curved in the middle, place it so that it naturally cups the shape of your eye, and lightly sweep outwards.

Rubber Wand
Rubber wands are great if you want a lot of volume, because they can easily bend from root to end. "Rubber bristles flex with movement and shape the eye, unlike regular bristles, which can be stiff and hard to control," says Kimara Ahnert, a New York City-based makeup artist.

Small Bristles
If you have short eyelashes, Ahnert recommends using a wand with small bristles. You can get very close to your eye, and even apply a coat to the bottom lashes. Here's an easy rule of thumb: The smaller the bristles, the better control you have.

Comb-like Wand
These superfine bristles are great for elongating each lash. "When you're going for length, try a wand with longer more separated bristles that have a comb-like look," adds Ahnert. These wands are terrific if you want to avoid clumping.
