The "Mane" Story

• Avoid using it during the day.
• Gold, silver, bronze. Strictly for party wear or the festive season!
• Opaque and glossy mascara looks chic!
• Leaves hair very manageable.
• Washes off easily..... "Hair" today, gone tomorrow!
• Practice makes perfect! So practise till you like the effect it creates.
• Always practise in the right light. What looked good in daylight may look ghastly in a disco.

Quick Tips

• Choose a well-known brand. Cheaper ones may look great, but can cause lasting damage.
• Don't ever use it like a hairbrush. The end result will be untidy and bumpy.
• Cream based hair mascaras dry faster.
• Off to a rain dance? Choose waterproof hair mascara.
• Dark hair? Choose from a range of metallic, blue, purple, red and auburn.
• Leave the fuchsia pinks, parrot green, turquoise and amethyst for the blondes!
• Combine colours for unusual effects! Try blue and silver, or auburn and bronze.
• Hold a few strands of hair up, smother with hair mascara, and drop. The effect is sensational!
• For a gentler look, brush on delicately away from the hairline, in soft streaks.
