Different mascara wands
and what they do
While formula is a big part of how and why a mascara works, the shape of your mascara wand can affect the way you apply your mascara and the overall, final lash finish. Different mascara wand types are often more suited to particular lashes for example sparse lashes will usually respond better to thicker wand, whereas straight lashes prefer a curved shape. In this article you'll discover all the different types of Lancôme mascara wand and find the one that's right for your needs and lashes.
Types of Mascara Wands
The Skinny Mascara Wand
Définicils mascara has a slim, slightly tapered wand that provides lash separation, shapes and defines to create longer-looking lashes from base to tip without clumping. The grooved bristles on the patented brush evenly distribute mascara along the entire lash from root to tip. Separates the look of eyelashes for a natural-looking, even finish every time. Ideal for those who have naturally long or thick lashes – the skinny wand evenly coats every single lash, defining and separating without too much volume.
The Hourglass Mascara Wand
So named because of its resemblance to an hourglass, you’ll find this shapely brush in our bestselling Hypnôse Mascara. The wand has a slightly wider middle and tapered ends; the middle section will boost lash volume, while the slimmer ends define and separate every lash. This wand works well on sparse lashes and creates a dramatic look by boosting volume. The hourglass shape helps to evenly distribute the mascara, ensuring that each lash is defined and coated from root to tip. This brush works for all lash types and is especially good if you’re looking to build volume.
The Curved Mascara Wand
This wand is shaped with a curve, to follow the natural shape of the eye. Lash Idôle Mascara has a signature arch-curved elastomer brush which pushes up and fans out lashes for an open eye effect while its 360 micro-bristles grab every lash. This 360 micro-bristle brush has two sides to help you hit your lash goals - the curved side of the brush works to instantly volumise lashes, while the rounded side creates an instant lift. This wand is good for those who have straighter lashes and shorter lashes as the curved brush helps to create curl and lift lashes upwards.
The Fluffy Mascara Wand
Monsieur Big Mascara has a big soft brush with bristles made of soft fibers which hug your lashes and coats each one smoothly in mascara, when you want voluminous lashes these dense bristles are what you need.
