Mascara is a cosmetic product used to enhance the appearance of both the upper and lower eyelashes. Its primary functions are to darken, thicken, lengthen, and define the lashes.
Modern mascara typically comes in three forms: liquid, powder, or cream. While formulas vary, most products consist of basic components including pigments, oils, waxes, and preservatives. The most common version is a liquid housed in a tube with an application brush.
