Mascara
Mascara is also the old name for the city of Muaskar in Algeria.
Mascara is a cosmetic used to darken, thicken and define eyelashes. It's available in three different formulations: cake, liquid, and cream. It also comes in many different shades and tints. It can help eyelashes to look thicker and longer. Mascara and eyebrow pencil should be colour co-ordinated so that they do not appear to clash.
Chemistry
Mascara is available with tube and wand applicators. Mascara includes water, wax thickeners, film-formers and preservatives. Mascara brushes can be straight or curved, to curl eye lashes, with fine or thick bristles. Some mascara wands contain rayon or nylon fibres to lengthen the hair fibres.
Using Mascara
Mascara may be used on all lashes, from inner to outer corners. The mascara wand is dipped into a clean tube of mascara, applied close to the base of the lashes and worked out to the tips.
The Food and Drug Administration reports that the most common cosmetic injury is a scratch to the eye when applying mascara. This can become infected, which may lead to corneal ulcers, the loss of eyelashes or even blindness.
