Charlotte said: “It’s actually the wand normally that makes the mascara so good.”
She said: “So keep your higher one [you expensive mascara wants] and put it in an affordable mascara trust me it works the exact same.”
Charlotte shows her viewers how she uses an old Gurlain mascara brush but dipped it in a lower brand mascara tube.
She said: “ I’m just gonna apply this like I would normally.”
Charlotte continued: “But it's literally like a restock of the higher [more expensive] mascara for a quarter of the price.”
Mascaras are usually all variations of this basic formula. Mascara = 70% water + 10% pigment + 10% thickeners/viscosity enhancers+ 7% emollient + 2% humectant + 1% preservative.
This isn’t exact for all mascaras, some may dry or clump quicker.
But ultimately it is the wand that affects application and the long-lasting look.
