Waterproof mascara: how to choose? Video
Mascara is one of the main decorative cosmetics in a woman’s cosmetic bag. Mascaras come with different additional effects – lengthening, increasing the volume, with vitamins and waterproof. The last option should be adopted by every woman, tk. In the snowy winter or summer rain, ordinary paint can flow and ruin the entire makeup. Moisture resistant mascara has great advantages, but also disadvantages.
Pros and cons of waterproof mascara
To look great at an important event, be it a wedding, a night out at a restaurant, a formal meeting with a business partner, or just relaxing on the beach, you will need makeup and waterproof mascara. This is not to say that moisture-resistant mascara is the best mascara. But on the other hand, it is the most reliable and will not let you down at a crucial moment.
There are two types of waterproof mascara. Moisture-proof (super resistant mascara) withstands any amount of moisture on your face. Waterproof is a slightly moisture resistant mascara, but with a lot of water on the skin, it can let you down. This mascara can be used for everyday office work. But for the beach or on a bad rainy day, it is better to use the first option.
Please note that well-known brands and brands of non-moisture resistant mascaras usually also have a slight waterproof effect.
Even the best waterproof mascara is made up of chemicals called synthetic polymers. Polymers instantly envelop the eyelashes with a dye film and harden. The eyelashes are left without oxygen, which leads to brittleness and dryness.
The second drawback of waterproof mascara is its reaction to creams and fats, including natural sebum. In contact with fats, mascara “melts”: it begins to dissolve, and all its advantages also disappear in an instant.
The third drawback is the harmful substances that make up waterproof carcasses. It all depends on the manufacturer and product quality. Studies have shown that most of the brands’ products include heavy metals – nickel, chromium, iron oxide, mercury compounds are especially dangerous – thimerazole, thiomersal, mercury or quecksilber.
Carefully study the labels on the packaging of the mascara and on the insert. If you find such components, it is better to refuse to use such mascara in order to avoid severe reactions.
It is better to choose a product whose composition is rich in vitamins and proteins: it is these products that have the highest ratings and positive customer reviews.
How to remove makeup with waterproof mascara
It is not easy to remove waterproof mascara from eyelashes – if rain and snow cannot cope with it, then you just won’t give in to it. You will not be able to wash off the paint with plain water and gel for washing. Two-phase makeup removers are suitable for this. Today, such a product can be found in many cosmetic companies: “Oriflame”, “Amway” and “Mary Kay”, “Garnier”, “Maybelline”, “Ja-de”, “Bourgeois”. Try to use the same brand of mascara and makeup remover.
