How to pick the right mascara for your lash type
There are a few things to consider when choosing a mascara: brush applicator, benefit, and formula. It’s important to know your lash type to select the right mascara for you:
• Shorter lashes can benefit from a lengthening mascara.
• Sparse lashes need a mascara to add volume.
• Straight lashes call for a mascara that adds curl and volume.
• Sensitive eyes require a mascara with nourishing ingredients.
• Mature/uneven lashes can be prone to breakage, so choose a mascara with natural origin ingredients.
For every-day volume go for a classic black mascara. If you’re looking for an even more intense finish for your lashes, try a darker shade like Lash Paradise Mascara in Intense Black.

Which L’Oréal Paris mascara is the best for adding length?
For the longer lashes you crave, you need one of our Telescopic Mascaras. Our go-to for length is Telescopic Lift Mascara. This mascara gives up to +5mm in visible length* to your lashes! It has a double-hook bristle brush which lengthens and separates lashes for a maximum lift. Telescopic Lift has a vegan friendly formula that is infused with ceramides, working to hold the lash lift for up to 36 hours**. Lift and load your lashes using the front hook bristles, applying from root to tip. Then, use the side hook comb to separate your lashes for added volume and length.

Lash care and mascara application
Understanding how to pick the right mascara isn’t the only element of maintaining healthy looking lashes. Just as you care for your skin with a skincare routine, the same should be done for your lashes. Start using our eyelash serum to strengthen and fortify your lashes after removing your mascara and even before application. You can also apply a lash primer before applying your regular mascara for lashes that look even longer and fuller. Our pick is the Lash Paradise Primer that has a formula enriched with jojoba oil and vitamins to boost volume and care for your lashes.
For the best results, follow the below mascara application guide:
1. Remove your chosen mascara wand from the tube, taking care not to pump the wand in and out as this can result in clumping on the brush and lashes.
2. Place the brush applicator at the root of your eyelashes, at the underside of your top lash line, then move the brush through your lashes from root to tip. Gently wiggle from side to side to evenly coat your lashes.
3. Repeat step two until you’ve achieved your desired look, then carefully apply mascara to bottom lashes - just make sure your brush applicator isn’t overloaded with product.
