mascara
Mascara is a cosmetic commonly used to enhance the eyes. It may darken, thicken, lengthen, and/or define the eyelashes. Normally in one of three forms—liquid, cake, or cream—the modern mascara product has various formulas; however, most contain the same basic components of pigments, oils, waxes, and preservatives.
== Definition ==
The ''Collins English Dictionary'' defines ''mascara'' as, "a cosmetic substance for darkening, lengthening, curling, coloring, and thickening the eyelashes, applied with a brush or rod." The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' (''OED'') adds that mascara is occasionally used on the eyebrows as well.
The ''OED'' also references ''mascaro'' from works published in the late 15th century. In 1886, the ''Peck & Snyder Catalogue'' advertises, “Mascaro or Water Cosmetique… For darkening the eyebrow and moustaches without greasing them and making them prominent.” In 1890, the ''Century Dictionary'' defined mascara as “a kind of paint used for the eyebrows and eyelashes by actors.” And in 1894, N. Lynn advises in ''Lynn’s Practical Hints for Making-up'', “to darken eyelashes, paint with mascara, or black paint, with a small brush.
