1. Find a proper mascara: PLEASE. The last thing you want is to put your faith in something that promises to be revolutionary and the best you ever had but just ends up being clingy and annoying. Let's leave that to men, shall we?
2. Find a mascara that doesn't test on animals. Not only is it humanitarian, but common knowledge is that animal-tested products doesn't make them fool-proof. So why waste your time?
4.. Get the right type of mascara. Mascaras have signs on the side indicating whether they will give your lashes volume and/or length and/or color and/or definition. Check this out to narrow down what you are searching for. Also test it out. They don't have those mini-brushes for nothing.
3. Get name brand mascaras. L'Oreal and Rimmel and CoverGirl make really true blue mascaras that are reliable. Try those first.
