If you have sensitive eyes but still want the glam looks mascara can offer, you will be happy with a well selected organic mascara. Organic mascaras, as the name specifies have organic ingredients. They are generally more expensive than usual mascaras but are worth it since they are free from potentially harmful ingredients in usual mascaras. Here are a few tips to select the right organic mascara for you.
1. Organic mascaras are not found commonly at beauty counters. You will have to visit specialty cosmetics stores or order it online (better, time saving method).
2. If a mascara claims to be organic, it does not necessarily mean that it has 100% organic ingredients. You need to read the ingredient lists and labels carefully to decide on this matter.
3. If are allergic to mascara in the past, then it’s a good idea if you get a mascara brand which is also labelled as ‘hypo-allergic’. This signifies that the product is dermatologicaly tested and will not cause allergies to most people.
4. If a brand claims to be organic, it does not necessarily mean that it won’t irritate your eyes. You have to give it up to trial and error. In a nutshell, you will have to try out a few brands before you can find one to settle for.
5. Organic mascaras come in various shades of black and brown and a few brands which offer vibrant colors like green and blue are also available. People with fair skin and light eyes usually opt for brown tones and ones with wheatish or darker skin tones opt for black. You can also choose a shade depending on your hair color. Go dark black for a dramatic effect. Brown for a played down effect (provided it suits your complexion and hair color).
6. Organic mascaras are not commonly available in water proof versions.
7. Ensure that the product you get for yourself is easily removable with water. If the brand is authentic, you should be able to do this without getting it into your eyes and any difficulty in removal.
8. Ask you friends and relatives for suggestions regarding the brand. A testimonial should make things a little easier.
