Mascara is a cosmetic product primarily used to enhance the appearance of eyelashes by adding length, volume, and color without clumping or smudging. It typically comes in a tube containing a liquid or cream formulation, along with a brush-like applicator to distribute the product evenly through the lashes. Popular shades include black, brown, and clear, with variations in waterproof and long-wearing formulas to cater to different preferences.
The application involves gently wiggling the applicator brush from the base of the lash line to the tips, creating a more defined and voluminous look. To maintain eye health and avoid contamination, it is recommended to replace mascara every 3 to 6 months and avoid sharing the product with others.
