Which mascara should you choose based on your eyes and lashes?

Quel mascara choisir selon votre regard et vos cils ?

An intense gaze, lengthened lashes, a precise application… Mascara is one of the most used makeup products — and yet, not always the one we choose best. Tubing, waterproof, sensitive, Cake Mascara… how do you navigate it all and find the one that truly matches your eyes, your lashes, and your routine?

The right mascara isn't necessarily the trendiest. It's the one that precisely meets your needs: lengthening, volumizing, all-day wear, or respecting your sensitive eyes.

Since 1950, Longcils Boncza has made its mark on makeup history with its innovative formulas — starting with the iconic Cake Mascara, created by Doctor Boncza for the cinema world. Vitry House reaffirms this heritage with a range designed to meet every desire and every gaze.


How to choose your mascara in 3 questions

Before choosing, ask yourself the three right questions.

What effect are you looking for?
Lengthening and definition, volume and curl, ultra-long-lasting wear… Each mascara has a specific promise. It's pointless to expect a volumizing mascara to lengthen, and vice versa.

Do you have sensitive eyes or wear contact lenses?
If so, opt for formulas specifically tested under ophthalmological control. All Longcils Boncza mascaras are dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested — they are suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

What is your relationship with makeup removal?
This is an often-forgotten criterion. Waterproof mascara requires a specific makeup remover. Tubing mascara can be removed with lukewarm water. Sensitive mascara is easy to remove. Your skincare routine matters as much as your makeup.

The 3 new shades to personalize your look

The Pro'Expert Mascara is now available in color, in addition to classic black, with three new shades for a completely custom look.

Shade 01
Brown

Softer and more natural than black, brown enhances light eyes and golden skin tones. Ideal for an elegant and discreet daytime makeup that subtly complements your gaze.

Shade 02
Burgundy

A deep and sensual shade that warms up the eyes. Burgundy intensifies brown and green eyes, perfect for a bold evening makeup.

Shade 03
Blue

Bold and luminous, blue makes light eyes stand out brilliantly. An unexpected touch of color for a graphic and

contemporary look.


Tubing Mascara — Lengthening and definition

Tubing Mascara is a technology all its own: instead of coating the lash like a classic mascara, it wraps each lash in tiny tubes, like an ultra-light extension. The result is neat precision, clump-free, and makeup removal is effortless with lukewarm water — a real advantage for sensitive eyes that cannot tolerate harsh makeup removers.

How to choose your mascara according to your profile

Do you have sensitive eyes or wear contact lenses?
Opt for Sensitive Mascara, formulated with 98% natural-origin ingredients, or Tubing Mascara which removes with lukewarm water. Both are ophthalmologically tested and suitable for contact lens wearers. Pair them with a lash serum to deeply strengthen the hair fiber.

Are you looking for clear lengthening and precise definition?
Tubing Mascara is your ally: it forms sheaths around each lash for an extension-like, clump-free result. Its silicone brush with double bristles separates and extends each lash with precision.

Do you want volume and an immediate lash curler effect?
Sensitive Mascara is for you. Its curved fiber brush lifts and curls lashes from the first application for a natural XXL effect.

Do you have a busy day ahead or a special occasion?
Waterproof Mascara is resistant to water, tears, and perspiration for 24 hours. Its buildable formula allows you to intensify the result layer by layer for a deeper black. Remember to bring a waterproof makeup remover for gentle removal.

Do you love precise beauty rituals and iconic products?
Longcils Boncza Cake Mascara is for you. Its unique solid formula, vintage case, and dual lash and brow function make it a unique product — a must-try.

Do you want to take care of your lashes at the same time?
Pair your mascara with a lash serum applied every night to nourish, strengthen, and thicken the hair fiber over the weeks. And don't forget the tweezers to maintain your eyebrows: a sublimated look also starts with a beautiful eyebrow architecture.


FAQ: mascara, your questions

What is the difference between tubing mascara and classic mascara?

Classic mascara coats the lashes with a layer of pigment. Tubing Mascara forms tiny tubes around each lash — like a light extension. It doesn't flake, is resistant to humidity, and removes easily with warm water without harsh makeup remover.

Can you use mascara if you wear contact lenses?

Yes, provided you choose a mascara tested under ophthalmological control. All Longcils Boncza mascaras are dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested, and suitable for contact lens wearers. Sensitive Mascara and Tubing Mascara are particularly recommended.

How to properly remove waterproof mascara?

Waterproof Mascara absolutely requires a waterproof makeup remover for gentle removal. Apply the makeup remover to a cotton pad, place it on closed eyelashes for a few seconds, then gently slide it towards the tip — without rubbing to avoid breaking the eyelashes.

What is Cake Mascara?

Cake Mascara is the foundational product of Longcils Boncza, created in the 1950s. Its solid formula is used with water and a brush — a unique technique that allows for very precise application on both lashes and brows. It is recognizable by its iconic pale green case.

How to choose between brown, black, burgundy, or blue mascara?

Black is universal and suits all eye colors. Brown is more natural and particularly flatters light eyes and blondes. Burgundy warms brown and green eyes for a sensual evening effect. Blue, more daring, brightens blue and green eyes — a great way to dare to wear color.
