This year mascara turns 155! How did our ancestor beautify their eyelashes? First mascaras did not resemble the present-day ones at all. The composition of an early mascara was made from vaseline and powdered coal. In fact, some women tend to use such a cosmetic nowadays, explaining that only natural substances are the best for a human organism. Coming back to primeval mascaras, then, a mascara was transforming and evolving in many ways. To illustrate, in the past, some mascaras had a form of cake containing soap and black pigment in their composition. Furthermore, back then, it was fairly common to add soap flakes to eyelash coating cosmetics. What may be surprising, even tube mascaras were created – these were distributed as we now use a toothpaste. Eventually, the producers have started to attach brushes, the ones we know nowadays, to mascaras.

What are the present-day mascaras like? One of these is Long For Mascara from Inglot Polish cosmetic brand. The main aim of the product is to define and extend eyelashes. Such the effect holds up to several hours. Furthermore, the mascara has a thin brush with short and densely arranged bristle – the silicone fibres cover even the very tip of the applicator. Such a bristle guarantees coating each and every single eyelash with mascara evenly. Furthermore, Long For Mascara from Inglot is sold in a black bottle of 12,5 ml capacity. The design is fairly minimalistic – just a black package decorated with small, white inscriptions. If you want to enjoy coating your eyelashes with the mascara for as long as it is possible, remember not to pump the air into the package – because of this practice  cosmetic dries out of the way faster.

Over the years, manners of application as well as eyelash curling and extending techniques have changed significantly. How does eye make-up look nowadays? If you would like to fix and prolong the level of eyelashes’ curl, warm up the eyelash curler a little bit with a blow-dryer. Hot air makes eyelashes hold up curled way longer. Another idea to imply, you do not have to throw away a dried-out mascara. You can, for example, dissolve it with a liquid used for contact lenses conservation. Pour a little bit of the liquid into the bottle and shake vigorously and thoroughly. What is more, how often does it happen that you leave mascara stains on eyelids that are already covered with eye shadows? If it happens to you frequently, cover your eyelids with either a spoon or buy a plastic plate designed especially for eliminating this problem.
