Universal mascara – does it exist at all?

It’s not entirely true that we need different mascaras with different brushes to get a distinctive effect in make-up. There are mascaras that have been composed so well that they meet all the requirements. Such universal products are suitable for everyone. Different effects can be obtained by properly designed brush and formula.

What kind of mascara can be called universal? The best ones are equipped with silicone, flexible brushes of medium size. It should also be narrowed at both ends to allow precise application at the corners of the eyes, and the bristles should be densely-spaced of different length.

Usually, it’s enough to apply one layer for natural effect, the next layer intensifies the effect. There is only one condition – the mascara cannot stick the lashes together and should have a velvet formula. Only then will it cope with any type of make-up and eyelash type.
