Mascara is the workhorse of any makeup bag, and in the Faberlic catalogue it is one of the most frequently ordered products. The company, founded in 1997, treats decorative cosmetics as a core category alongside its skincare, and the mascara shelf reflects that: instead of one universal formula there is a set of clearly different products, each solving its own task.

What the range includes

The mascara line-up is organised around the effect you want to get:

  • Volume mascaras - dense formulas and generous brushes for a bold, full-lash look
  • Lengthening mascaras - thinner textures with fine bristles that separate and extend each lash
  • Curl and lift mascaras - curved brushes designed to open up the eye
  • Everyday mascaras - light natural-effect formulas for office and daytime wear
  • Caring formulas - mascaras with added conditioning components for lashes that feel brittle
  • Brown and coloured options - softer alternatives to classic black in some campaigns

The assortment rotates with the catalogue, which is reissued roughly every three weeks, so limited shades and new brush shapes appear regularly.

Who it suits

Because the range is split by effect, almost everyone finds a working option:

  • fans of dramatic evening makeup gravitate to the volume formulas
  • those with short or straight lashes benefit most from lengthening and curl mascaras
  • if you wear minimal makeup, the natural everyday formulas give definition without a "made-up" look
  • budget-conscious buyers can keep a spare tube at home without feeling the expense - mascara should be replaced every three months or so anyway

How to choose

A few things matter more than the promises on the packaging:

  • Decide on the primary effect first - volume, length or curl - since one mascara rarely excels at all three
  • Look at the brush: big fluffy brushes build volume, thin combs separate and lengthen
  • Think about your day: for long wear or damp weather, check the campaign for resistant formulas
  • If your eyes are sensitive, prefer the caring formulas and replace the tube on schedule
  • Black is the safe default; brown looks softer with light hair and daytime makeup

The current selection of mascaras, shades and prices is published in the Faberlic catalogue, and it changes from campaign to campaign. Registered consultants order decorative cosmetics at a discount of up to 26 percent, so it is worth registering before you stock up.
