The beauty industry is constantly evolving, with new makeup
products hitting shelves practically every day. Seriously, it can be
hard to keep up. That’s why we totally understand if you’re still
wondering what a fiber mascara
even is. This type of mascara may be rising in popularity, but how does
it even work? We’re here to explain exactly that, and tell you about
our very own fiber mascara, the L’Oréal Paris Voluminous X Fiber Mascara. Keep reading to learn what fiber mascara is, why you should add it to your makeup routine, and how to use it.
[post_ads_2]What Is Fiber Mascara?
So you’ve heard of fiber mascara—but do you really know what it is? Our fiber mascara is dual-ended, with a black lash primer
on one end and a fiber mascara on the other. The black primer helps to
build the appearance of volume on lashes and creates a smooth and even
black base to prep your lashes for fibers. Meanwhile, the intense black
mascara features lengthening fibers to lengthen the look of your lashes.
These teeny-tiny fibers are deposited smoothly along the length of
lashes as you brush on the mascara. (For more on the different kinds of
mascaras, check out our article, Mascara 101: Your Guide to the Different Formulas.)
[post_ads_2]Why Should You Use Fiber Mascara?
Now you get how fiber mascara works, so
it’s time to move onto the fun part: why you should add it to your
makeup bag! If you’re the kind of gal who like to stand out on special
occasions or add a touch of drama to your appearance on the weekends,
then fiber mascara could be the perfect choice for you, as the black
primer and lengthening fibers help create a dramatic finish in two easy
steps. All you have to do is prime your lashes and follow up with the
fiber mascara. Yep, that’s all there is to it!
How to Do You Use Fiber Mascara?
When it comes to doing something new,
like using a fiber mascara for the first time, we tend to not recommend
winging it. You’ll be better off giving it an educated attempt. Read our
simple four-step guide to fiber mascara, below, then give it a whirl.
Step 1: Remove any lingering makeup.
Ever removed your makeup before bed, only to wake up with some mascara
streaks under your eyes? Yeah, us too. To help make sure your lashes are
free of old mascara before applying any other makeup, use the L’Oréal Paris Micellar Cleansing Water Complete Cleanser Waterproof – All Skin Types to remove makeup, even waterproof formulas. Saturate a cotton pad with the liquid facial cleanser and hold it over closed eyes for a few seconds, then wipe away any remaining mascara.
[post_ads_2]Step 2: Curl your lashes.
Have straight lashes? Then don’t skip this step. Before reaching for your fiber mascara, break out a lash curler.
Hold the handy dandy tool up to your eye and place your lashes between
the clamps, getting as close to the base of your lashes as you
can—without pinching your eyelid. Close the clamp on your eyelashes and
hold it for a few seconds. Clamp down for too long and you risk giving
your lashes an 80s ‘do—a.k.a. crimping them—instead of curling. After
you release, walk the eyelash curler out and repeat once in the middle
of your lashes and once at the tips for a complete curl. Trust us,
you’ll get the hang of it once you’ve done it a few times!
Step 3: Apply lash primer.
You’ve probably heard that lash primers are a must, but wouldn’t it be
nice to not have to use separate products? There’s no need to have two
separate mascaras on hand—just flip over our fiber mascara to use the
lash primer end. Work the primer through your lashes, coating them in
the black primer to help create a smooth, even base.

Step 4: Coat with fiber mascara.
Here’s where the fiber mascara come into play. Once you’re done
priming, start brushing on the fiber mascara. Be sure to coat your
lashes on both sides for maximum drama. And there you go! That’s all it
takes to use a fiber mascara and get a dramatic lash look.
