The Best Mascara, Luxurious Lashes for Mature Women

Choosing the best mascara used to be easy but not any more. There are thousands out there mostly geared to the very young market. Thicker than thick and blacker than black with brushes that look more suitable to brushing the dog than applying mascara.

Formulas for Short, Sparse, Thin, Lashes

Mascara should be fluid and lightweight without visible lumps like the ones I have chosen here.
The thicker the consistency the more difficult it will be to apply. No problem for longer lashes but impossible for short, straight ones. A very thick consistency can make even long lashes look fake and cakey. If watery eyes are also a problem Lancome's L' Extreme Waterproof Mascara could be a solution. A fluid consistency with a supple lengthening result that allows time for another coat.

Long Straight Lashes!

What about longer lashes that are poker straight and not as thick as they were? Well first you need good eye lash curlers and then the best mascara is fluid and supple to help you curl the lashes upwards from the roots. The Yves Saint Laurent Mascara Volume For Infini Curl volumises and helps promote that upward curl movement that opens the eyes. When you become skilled with lash curlers it is even possible to use them a second time after mascara.
(Advanced but works with practice!)

Make Your Lashes last Longer

Some of the high tech mascaras today are infused with ingredients that treat your eyelashes. Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Lash Extending Treatment Mascara is designed to stimulate growth, make the lashes more supple and ultimately last longer before falling out. New lashes grow whilst the others are still in place, improving length and thickness. Brilliant!

Brushes for Lashes, Even Tiny Lashes

When choosing your best mascara take a good look at the brush. The bigger it is the more difficult it will be to use. A thinner brush will get every last lash and coat it too. This is what frames and accentuates the whole eye shape.

A brush that is quite unique and worth its weight in gold for us is the spherical brush from Givenchy.

This little brush demands a practice run before the big day but you will reach the tiniest hairs at the outer and inner corners of your eyes easily, yes I said easily. This one is not cheap but exactly what we have been waiting for.

Sensitive Eyes?

If you wear contact lenses an excellent choice would be Lancome Definicils High Definition Mascara Deep Brown which is a lengthening and volumising mascara without the flaky bits. All the Lancome mascaras are opthalmologist tested and I hear lots of praise about this one from readers and friends who wear contct lenses or have very sensitive eyes.

Colours are important too, deepest black is great for evenings and candlelight but boy is it harsh in sunlight. Deepest brown is softer and kinder to the complexion and imperfections. Fashion colours won't do us any favours so don't be tempted to match an outfit, leave them to those gorgeous 20 somethings.

3 Essentials to Making Eye Make up Easier!

• Get a large magnifying mirror with suckers and fix it to a window
• Have your eyelashes tinted so you can see every last one of them
• Buy a set of cushioned eyelash curlers and learn to use them easily

With a little practice we can all make the most of our eyes.
