A type of makeup used to darken, lighten, color, thicken, lengthen, or define eyelashes. Use this tag for particularly defined eyelashes that are implied to be enhanced by makeup (i.e. there is other makeup like eyeshadow present) or explicit (where the character is in the process of applying makeup). Also use this tag for when the mascara wand itself is visible, which is a small rod with short bristles and with a (usually colorful) plastic handle. post #2486104 and post #1571005 are examples of the wand/applicator.
Mascara should not be confused with eyeliner, which is makeup that frames the edge of the eye and is applied to the eyelid, not the eyelashes. The wand shouldn't be confused with an eyelash curler either, which are a set of metal clamps with scissor-like grips.
