No women can resist long, curled and thick eyelashes. Since the dawn of time, women have used their look to seduce men and in that regard, eyelashes are one of the main female attributes which can be easily augmented by the use of mascara, extensions or even enhancers. They are regarded as symbol of female beauty and, as such, women are more than willing to invest their time to improve them and give them a ravishing look.

Among many different product that are available, mascara is still dominant when it comes to popularity. Mascara is used for volume, deepening, curling, by using rubber or regular brush, with base or without it. Similarly to lipstick or any other part of make-up, we learn how to use them when we are children. It is really easy to apply it although it can be sometimes a problem to get it off. During removal it can even lead to irritation and other issues. So, even if it was easy to prepare for a party or some special event, the real trouble starts when we get home. But, results are instantaneous and they make your eyelashes look amazing and voluminous. Unfortunately, recent studies have shown that excessive use of this product has induced cancer in lab rats.

Recently, eyelash enhancers are starting to grow in popularity and they are slowly starting to overwhelm the market. Unlike mascara, most of the enhancers are regarded as medical products; they are usually used as a way of treating hypotrichosis or glaucoma. However, as of late, many women are starting to use them on a daily basis in order to improve volume and thickness of their eyelashes. Even though they alter your eyelashes, you still need to use them each and every day. So, in that regard, mascara and enhancers are very similar because you need to use them regularly. But, we can choose when we want to put mascara. When person uses enhancers such as Latisse or RapidLash, they need to be applied every night for a permanent effect.

When it comes to eyelash enhancers, they are treated more as medical products than cosmetic. They need to be approved by FDA and doctor needs to prescribe them so you can use them. Like many other drugs, there is a chance of allergic reaction. It is necessary to do thorough examination before using any of these products. Even with all the tests, there is still a chance that your body will exhibit certain problems when you use one of these drugs. For example, if you choose to buy Latisse, common side effects are redness, itching, discomfort and blurry vision. Sometimes, severe side effects may occur like pain, infection, swelling, dizziness, nausea, headache etc. If something similar happens to you, it is necessary to consult your doctor as soon as possible.

Besides eyelash enhancers and mascara, artificial eyelashes are very popular as of late. They are a little bit harder to apply, but in time, person who is using them becomes more proficient so it gets easier. Unlike other products, these are completely artificial and they don’t interfere with your natural processes. It can be even said that they are the healthiest option available to you.
