Explore Kalentin mascaras and follow our expert tips to get irresistibly full, lifted, and defined lashes every time.

What are volumising mascaras?

If you want fuller, thicker, and ultra-glamorous lashes, a volumising mascara is your best friend. Thanks to a formula enriched with waxes and volumising polymers, paired with a specially designed brush that captures even the finest lashes, you’ll get a deep, magnetic gaze.

The secret lies in coating every lash with a rich layer that makes them appear thicker and denser. Many volumising formulas also contain nourishing ingredients to keep lashes soft and flexible, preventing dryness over time.

What are lengthening mascaras?

If your goal is long, feather-light, perfectly separated lashes, a lengthening mascara is the way to go. Its lightweight, fluid texture and precision brush separate each lash, ensuring even application without weighing them down. The result? Naturally elongated lashes with a clean, sophisticated finish—ideal for subtle yet polished Eye makeup looks.

Which mascara is right for me?

Choosing the perfect mascara depends on the look you want:

For short and fine lashes: Go for a lengthening formula to open up the eyes.

For sparse lashes: Choose a volumising mascara to add density and structure.

For the ultimate lash look: Combine both—first lengthen, then add volume.

You can also tailor your choice based on the brush: slim brushes are perfect for definition, while larger brushes deliver dramatic intensity. If you have sensitive eyes or wear contact lenses, opt for gentle, ophthalmologist-tested formulas—like our Mineral Mascara N.3, specially created for sensitive eyes.

How to apply Mascara - Kalentin's guide

Mascara is one of the most powerful tools in your makeup bag, capable of instantly opening up the eyes, defining the lashes and enhancing any Eye makeup look, but to achieve professional and long-lasting results it’s essential to follow the right technique.

1) Brush your lashes with a clean spoolie or the wand from an old mascara to remove any residue and separate them, creating the perfect base for application.

2) If you want a lifted effect, curl your lashes before applying mascara—choose the Kalentin Professional Manual Eyelash Curler for precise control or the Kalentin Electric Eyelash Curler for a quick, heat-assisted curl that lasts all day, always remembering to curl before application to avoid breakage.

3) For extra hold and conditioning, apply a lash primer from root to tip to protect and prepare the lashes.

4) When it’s time to apply mascara, avoid pumping the wand in the tube to prevent drying out the product, instead removing it gently and wiping off excess before placing it at the base of the lashes.

5) Use a zigzag motion as you sweep upward to evenly coat and separate each lash—look down into a mirror for the upper lashes and up for the lower ones, using the wand vertically for precision.

6) For a more dramatic effect, layer multiple coats, allowing the first to dry slightly before adding the next, concentrating on the outer lashes for a cat-eye effect or the center for a wide-eyed look.

7) If smudges occur, let them dry completely before removing gently with a cotton bud to avoid spreading.

8) For the ultimate eye transformation, pair your mascara with Kalentin Eye pencils for added definition or combine it with a Lash Lift treatment for naturally curled, voluminous lashes that stay picture-perfect for weeks.
