Do different mascaras really do the different things they claim to?

The secret behind a mascara's ability to do different things is really in its wand. Diversely shaped wands allow the cosmetic to "perform" in varying ways. Here are some tips to help you achieve the look you want.
Want curled and separated lashes? Buy a mascara like Max Factor's 2000 Calorie -- its wand has curved bristles that will encourage your lashes to follow suit.
Craving thicker lashes? Cover Girl's aptly named Thick lash Mascara" is the way to go -- its wand's tightly bonded bristles will impart a thick look on to your lashes.
If you're looking to lengthen and separate, Maybelline's "Lash by Lash's" wand with its straight, fine bristles can do the trick
