Black vs. Very Black Mascara
Mascara is one of the most important and popular cosmetics used by women to enhance their eyes in seconds. It is easy to use; it has a dramatic effect on the eyes, is easy and convenient to carry, and changes the appearance of a person in just two simple strokes. Blondes, redheads, and other women with light hair prefer to wear dark mascaras to make their eyes pop out, making their lashes look bigger, thicker, lengthier, and more attractive.
Mascara
Mascaras are available in a variety of shades. They are available in three different forms: creams, cakes, and liquids. They usually contain waxes, oils, and pigments for colors – like carbon black for a black color and iron oxides for brownish colors – and preservatives. They are sold as waterproof or simple mascaras. Sometimes “ultramarine” is also used for blue mascaras, and the FDA prohibits the use of coal and tar. The oils used for mascaras include sesame oil, lanolin, castor oil, eucalyptus oil, etc. The waxes used are beeswax, carnauba wax, and paraffin. The water resistant mascaras contain dodecane, which rebuffs water, and other mascaras have ingredients that are water soluble. The mascaras that curl or lengthen the lashes usually have nylon microfibers and rayon microfibers, while the ingredients used to stiffen the lashes are methyl or ceresin, etc.
Black and Very Black Mascara
Mascaras are available in many colors, but the most common are black and very black. Black mascara gives a gentler, subtle look, and very black mascara gives an almost liquid ebony look. Black mascara is a simple black with some having tints of brown, gray, and deep blue or purple. Very black mascara is strictly black; it has no other tint visible. It is believed that people with dark-colored eyes should mostly go for very black mascara, whereas people with brown eyes can play with many different shades or black mascara with other tints. It is a fashion trend to wear lighter and black mascara for day wear to give a more natural and light look, and very black mascara in the evenings to give a more mature, grown-up, and darker look. Very black mascaras are used to give a “smoky look,” which is very popular eveningwear. It is usually worn to give a more seductive look and to make the eyes look the most prominent in the whole face, which makes the eyes the primary focus of attention.
Summary:
1. Very black mascaras are very dark black; black mascaras are black with tints of colors that are visible as simple black, dark browns, dark purples, dark blues, dark grays, etc.
2. Very black mascaras are usually worn in the evenings to give a more grown-up look; black mascaras are worn along with lighter shades in daywear to give a more natural look.
