Mascara is a cosmetic product used to enhance the eyelashes. It typically comes in a small tube and is applied with a brush or wand. The primary purpose of mascara is to darken, lengthen, and volumize the lashes, making the eyes appear more defined and expressive. It is available in various formulas, including waterproof and smudge-proof options, to suit different preferences and occasions. Most mascaras contain ingredients like pigments, waxes, and oils that help achieve the desired look. Users can choose from different colors, with black and brown being the most common. Proper application techniques can help avoid clumping and ensure an even coat on the lashes.
