We may not use bright lipstick or eye contour. But mascara is a favorite of all girls, girls, women and even grandmothers. What do you like the most – lengthening, volume or natural effect? The Woman’s Day editorial team tested the products with different effects and commented on their feelings.
LE VOLUME DE CHANEL, 1805 rubles
Vasilisa Naumenko, beauty editor:I can never relate to this French brand. I have known Chanel mascara for a long time and have tried almost every new product over the past seven years. LE VOLUME DE CHANEL in my cosmetic bag has been long enough to say that this particular mascara suits me by all criteria.
A rubber brush is a definite plus of this tool. Apply mascara to all lashes in one stroke, making it easier to apply. No lumps or shedding at the end of the day. I also only recently noticed that mascara really curls the eyelashes, making the look more expressive.
This mascara helps me to create both volume and length without loss and application of several layers. Like the past few years, LE VOLUME DE CHANEL is # XNUMX on my personal top mascara chart.
Clarins, Be Long, 1100 rubles
Nastya Obukhova, fashion editor:
Clarins mascara is not only designed to visually lengthen lashes, but also promotes their growth thanks to special activators. According to the manufacturer, in four weeks of use, eyelashes grow by 1,1 mm. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to verify this statement: I like to alternate mascaras to achieve different effects.
But I can say for sure: this particular product is ideal for evening makeup. The color of the mascara is very deep and rich (I got the black one). It perfectly dyes every lash and lengthens amazingly.
As a bonus, this mascara also comes with a good volume. Looking at the tiny rubber brush that comes with the mascara is hard to believe. But in fact, everything is exactly like that! The only downside to Be Long is that it’s very easy to overdo it. I strongly recommend not to apply it more than one layer, otherwise the eyelashes will look unaesthetic.
Mavala, Mascara Creamy, 520 rubles
Nastya Obukhova, fashion editor:
I have never seen a more ugly brush than that of Mavala cream mascara! However, the unpleasant appearance turned out to be deceiving. When applied, the mascara does not create lumps and does not blind eyelashes, but, on the contrary, gently stains each one.
In this case, the brush is designed in such a way that when applied, the product is not imprinted on the upper eyelid. In the absence of skill in applying makeup, this is a great plus. The mascara creates a very natural and fresh look. At the same time, the eyelashes are soft to the touch, as if not painted. Perhaps the point is in the silk proteins that the product is enriched with.
At the same time, the eyelashes look long and expressive. The mascara does not create volume, but this was not declared by the manufacturer, so I do not consider it a disadvantage. True, there were some drawbacks here. For me, Mavala Mascara Creamy is not black enough, I would like a more saturated color.
Yves Rocher, luxurious volume care mascara, 519 rubles
Olga Turbina, editor of star news:
At first sight. Nice soft brush, lots of lint: therefore, enough mascara is collected, creamy texture, no lumps anywhere. The color is moderately black. Mascara does not smudge, dries well, does not crumble, and is easily washed off.
The manufacturer promises that the mascara takes care of the eyelashes. If you use it regularly, then they should not fall out, but become stronger.
Indeed, I did not notice a single dropped eyelash. I will follow further, I do not like it when eyelashes suffer from mascara.
Rimmel, London Kate, 516 rubles
Olga Turbina, editor of star news:
I like mascara with a rubber brush more. When I saw a huge brush with a strange curvature Rimmel London, I was upset. I didn’t understand how it could be used to make up eyelashes at all.
When I tried it, I was pleasantly surprised. The eyelashes looked gorgeous! How the brush works wonders has remained a mystery to me.
Smashbox, Full Exposure Mascara, 1050 rubles
Julia Gaponova, inIssuing editor:
My acquaintance with the mascara of this brand took place quite recently. Or rather, I was offered to test this product, the manufacturers of which promised that the mascara adds volume, lengthens, curls and separates the eyelashes.
In fact, I did not notice anything like that. I don’t have medium dark lashes, so I always apply several layers of mascara and choose a product with a classic brush that can add volume and color to the lashes.
Mascara Full Exposure Mascara, Smashbox has a pleasant aroma, has a classic brush, in principle, it is applied without lumps, does not crumble or stick to eyelashes. However, the super effect declared by the developers was not observed. Even dyed in several layers, the eyelashes looked, so to speak, a “daytime option”: this product is more likely to suit those who prefer natural makeup.
NYX, Doll EYE Mascara, 470 rubles
Julia Gaponova, inIssuing editor:
I also first met the mascara of this American brand during testing for our regular column. To be honest, I didn’t expect anything special from this product.
But, to be honest, this product just won me over. Despite the fact that the brush is not a classic shape, the eyelashes are painted over very well. Mascara lengthens and at the same time adds volume, the look is “wide open” – in general, everything that I love so much.
In addition, I have rather sensitive eyes, and not all products suit me. However, the developers promised that NYX Doll EYE Mascara contains a new hypoallergenic formula with vitamin E, and they were not deceived! The mascara is applied very easily, without lumps, does not cause allergies, lengthens the eyelashes enough and gives volume.
By the way, I applied only one layer, but the color of the eyelashes still turned out to be bright, saturated. In addition, mascara does not crumble during the day, which is also nice.
Maybelline, Rocket, 420 rubles
Kristina Semina, section editor “Life style“:
I’m a longtime fan of all Maybelline mascaras. I have probably tried all their new products and have identified my favorites – Rocket for eyelash volume and Colossal Smoky Eyes to create the effect of false eyelashes. Both add volume and length, separate eyelashes perfectly, do not crumble during the day and wash off without problems.
I also like a brush in any one – it perfectly paints every eyelash and is convenient to use. As for the minuses, I will not name them, because for me personally they do not exist. In general, I always recommend Maybelline to everyone. A lot of people laugh and say that I secretly earn money for the brand.
Of course, due to my work, I managed to test quite a few mascaras and other brands, but not seeing much of a difference (except for the price, which was always higher) or completely disappointed, I always returned to my favorite brand. And the last thing I want to say about Maybelline is the affordable cost of the product, which once again proves that quality products do not have to be expensive.
