Every woman dreams of expressive look. Unfortunately, not all of us can boast natural long thick eyelashes that emphasize the beauty of the eyes. In the modern world, there are many means to correct this unfortunate mistake of mother nature: false eyelashes, extensions, staining and, of course, makeup.
However, with cosmetics, you need to be careful and take into account your individual characteristics. Consider how to choose the best inexpensive mascara, so as not to spoil, but to decorate and emphasize the eyes.
How to choose a brush
Let's start with the part that baffles most men: the mascara brush. Why are there so many types of a seemingly simple makeup element? The fact is that it is no coincidence that the brush is included in the kit of any good inexpensive mascara. Volume and elongation directly depend not so much on the composition and color of the mascara itself, but on the shape and size of the brush.
We all have different eye shapes, eyelash lengths and thicknesses. Someone needs curling, other lucky women have eyelashes that are naturally curled up. Different shape of brushes made forour own convenience: so that you can completely paint over each eyelash, regardless of its length, avoid gluing as much as possible and not scratch your eyelids.
The choice of instrument must be approached with special attention. Of course, the perfect brush in all respects, suitable for you, can only be found by experience, but there are several general recommendations to narrow your search.
Classic brush
This type of brush is most commonly used by manufacturers. Rather large cylindrical, slightly tapered at the end, elongated brush has long ("fluffy") villi located close to each other.
The classic brush is best suited for girls who naturally have long and thick eyelashes. A good inexpensive mascara with a brush like this will definitely give them a lot of volume.
The main disadvantage of such a brush: fluffy bristles simply do not allow you to hook and completely paint over short eyelashes, therefore they are not suitable for girls who do not have long eyelashes.
Silicone brush
There are two types of silicone mascara brush: long and short. Long is designed for women with short straight eyelashes. The small diameter and short bristles perfectly paint over the cilia along the entire length, visually increasing them. If you make up with such a brush with good inexpensive mascara, lengtheningguaranteed and no lumps.
However, girls with long, often growing and closely spaced eyelashes may experience difficulties when using this brush: the small length of the villi in combination with the length of the brush does not allow you to completely paint over each volume eyelash. As a result, you risk spending a lot of time to get, to put it mildly, an average result.
Short silicone brush is suitable for absolutely everyone. The length of the brush allows you to carefully paint over each eyelash, and short bristles prevent the formation of lumps. You can design your own eyelashes, whether they are long, short, curved or sparse. The only negative point: it will take more time to make up.
Curved brush
This brush has the shape of an arc with long bristles on the outside and short bristles on the inside. This configuration allows you to quickly and perfectly curl the cilia, while giving them extra volume. With a good inexpensive mascara in your arsenal with this brush, you may never use a curler again.
Unfortunately, not everyone is provided with a stunning effect. The result is highly dependent on how curved your upper eyelid is. Those with not too curved eyelids will find it difficult to get a beautiful curl of the eyelashes using such a brush.
Tapered brush
Wide at the base anda narrow brush at the end with closely spaced villi allows you to get a large volume, especially at the outer corner of the eye, without additional staining and stretching. The wide base allows you to grab all the cilia at once, and the frequent villi do not allow them to stick together and prevent the formation of lumps.
When using a similar brush with a good inexpensive mascara, volume is guaranteed to everyone except those with very short lashes. A wide base will create similar problems with a classic tassel. Of course, you can wear makeup with a narrow end, but this, unfortunately, is not very convenient and will take much more time.
How to choose mascara
Now some tips on how best to guide when choosing a good inexpensive mascara. Before you go shopping, go through your makeup bag and ask yourself the following questions:
- How sensitive are my eyes? In case of hypersensitivity, avoid using mascara containing preservatives and fragrances. Even the most magnificent eyelashes in the world are not worth sacrificing well-being for their sake. And the mascara itself will quickly rub off or smudge if you constantly rub itchy and reddened eyes.
- How well can I see? If you wear contact lenses to improve your vision or temporarily change the color of your eyes, choose ophthalmologically tested hypoallergenic mascara.
- How long have I been using my mascara? This cosmeticthe product must be changed every three to four months, like a toothbrush, as bacteria accumulate on the brush. If you've been using your mascara longer than this, it's time to shop for a new one.
- What's the weather like outside? With precipitation and high humidity, it is better to give preference to waterproof mascara. It certainly will not flow and will not give you an overly gothic look. This should also be taken into account when going to the sea or to the pool.
- What occasion am I going to do makeup for? Overly voluminous lashes look silly in a discreet everyday look, so use a standard lengthening mascara every day while curling your lashes, and for an exiting look or for a more extravagant look, choose a good inexpensive mascara with extra volume and length.
- Are my lashes too long or too short? While girls with long lashes can afford one coat, those with short lashes should opt for lengthening mascara and apply two coats, straightening and separating them with a special brush immediately after applying the mascara and letting them dry.
- How often or rarely are cilia located? For girls with sparsely located hairs, mascara is suitable, giving extra volume. Apply it two or three times, painting over each individual eyelash. Separate the hairs so they don't stick together.
- How straight do my eyelashes grow? Owners of sharply curled up eyelashes should prefer standard nourishing mascara without any additionaleffects. Before applying, be sure to comb them with a special brush.
Having learned how to choose mascara and a brush, we can finally move on to the ranking of this year's most popular inexpensive cosmetic products in this category. Perhaps you can find in it what suits you personally.

3rd place – DIVAGE 906090
The most popular mascara among lovers of spectacular, lush, "screen" eyelashes. The classic brush gives a large volume to the hairs, visually lengthens them. But not recommended for women with short lashes who want to look natural.

The bottle is quite large, and thanks to the silicone brush, the mascara is consumed quite sparingly. You can be sure that your eyelashes will not stick together, and the mascara itself will not fall into crumbling lumps.
