It's not always about the price: life hacks for choosing the best mascara

Mascara is an indispensable cosmetic product that makes your eyes look more expressive and attractive. However, choosing the right one for you is not so easy.

After the mascara dries or runs out, women usually go to the store and spend not only time choosing a new one but also a lot of money to get a good result. However, The Sun said that you don't have to buy expensive cosmetics to make them do their job well.

There are many different types of mascara, each of which has its own characteristics. Some is meant to add volume, some to lengthen eyelashes, etc.

In addition, the prices of mascaras from different brands can vary significantly. But it's not a given that expensive cosmetics will suit you better than cheap ones. Most mascara formulas are the same, so it's not the product itself that matters but the brush you use to apply it.

If your favorite mascara is out and you're not sure if you can find the same one or just want to save some money, then buy any mascara, even the cheapest one, and then just use the brush from the last one with it.

You can also use disposable brushes to apply cheap mascara, a set of which can be purchased at most cosmetic stores.

Disinfect your mascara brush

If you plan to use your old brush, you should disinfect it beforehand as dirt and bacteria accumulate on it over time.

To do this, you just need to wash it well to remove any oil and mascara residue, dry it, and then soak it in alcohol for 10 minutes. This should kill most bacteria. However, if you used this brush while you had an eye infection, it is better to buy a new one.
