Lengthening Mascara Reviews

Lengthening mascaras are designed to create illusions of length, and make short eyelashes look longer and fuller. Besides the regular mascara ingredients, they also contain some synthetic fibers, made of nylon or rayon which get intentionally left behind on the eyelashes when the mascara is applied. These synthetic fibers act like extensions and give the eyelashes a naturally longer look.

Choosing the best lengthening mascara is not so easy. The kind of mascara you choose will depend primarily on your need and the activity you are undertaking. For example, if you are spending the entire day outdoors and want the mascara to stay, you need to wear waterproof mascara. However, waterproof mascaras are not recommended because they are deleterious in the long run. Thus, it's best to stick to water-soluble mascaras.

Most lengthening mascaras turn out to be disappointments, however, some do stand out for their quality. Let's take a look at them.

Maybelline Define A Lash Mascara 

Enclosed in a bright lime-green tube, this mascara thickens and lengthens the appearance of one's eyelashes. Moreover, it does not cause clumping. A few strokes of this mascara is enough to have all your eyelashes coated. Since every eyelash, right from one corner of the eye to the other gets coated, the eyelashes look longer and thicker. However, avoid adding extra coats, so as to prevent clump formation. Another highlight is its plastic wand. The wand is flexible and makes application of mascara convenient.

This mascara provides sufficient curl to the lashes, thereby eliminating the need to use an eyelash primer. The best feature about this mascara is that it does not conduce to 'raccoon eyes'. Thus, one can easily apply mascara on the lower lashes. Moreover, it does not lead to any discoloration of the skin around the eyes. It stays on all day and eliminates the need to reapply. It is loved for its non-irritating and long-lasting properties, and is also safe for those wearing contact lenses.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Zero-Smudge Lengthening Mascara

This lengthening mascara adds natural length and volume to one's eyelashes. Moreover, it does not cause clumping and gives lovely, separated lashes. The unique feature about this mascara is that it does not smudge during the day, and it is this property that makes it a winner. Despite its ability to last for a long time, the mascara can be easily washed off with a cleanser. Moreover, it's great for people with sensitive eyes and oily skin.

L'Extreme Instant Extensions Lengthening Mascara

This mascara is known for its ability to make the lashes look super long with just one coat. It makes the eyelashes look 60% longer instantly.

It also comes with a fiber-stretch formula, which makes even the finest and smallest lashes look longer and beautiful. Their patented Extreme Lash brush adds delicate fibers to each eyelash, thereby conducing to the instant long lash effect.

Yves Saint Laurent Everlong Lengthening Mascara

This mascara is known for its double lengthening effect and happens to be the first brand to provide it. The double effect is due to the special molded brush and its exclusive lash growth booster that enhances lash growth. It adds great definition and color to the eyelashes, thereby giving them an exceptional look. Applying them is very easy, as they flow very smoothly onto the eyelashes. It also holds curls well.

Before rushing off to purchase your mascara, it is important to note that it's very easy to overdo the mascara, thereby causing thick clumps on the lashes. To prevent this from happening, avoid applying more than two coats of mascara at a time.
