A little bit of matchmaking is required to get your ideal Hollywood eyelashes. You need to figure out what look you want to go for, what kind of lashes you have and what mascara wand is your perfect match for the desired effect. Check out our tips to find your mascara soul mate:

For pin-up look a’ la Dita Von Teese, you need a lengthening mascara to make your eyes look bigger. For maximum effect, start off by placing the brush right at the root and pull it to the tip of the lash while shaking it slightly. Also, make sure the top coat dries first before applying a second. Lengthening wands are relatively thin to separate and our favorite is the Clinique High Lengths Mascara.

For a sexy lady look a’ la Brit model Twiggy, you need a thickening mascara to get lush lashes. To get ultimate thickness you need to well coat each lash by zigzagging the brush from the bottom to the tip of the lash. Thickening wands are pretty thick in general, we’re loving Maybelline New York Volume’ Express The Falsies Mascara.

For an edgy rock chic look try colored mascara that would make your eyes pop. To complement your eye color go for the following: blue for brown eyes, purple for green eyes. When it comes to color mascara you should use it as a finishing touch on the tips of lashes after using a black/brown mascara so you don’t look like a performer.
