Russian term or phrase: Тушь создает бесконечный объем ресницам в течении всего
Как лучше перевести эту фразу.
Мой первый вариант: Mascara gives your lashes maximum volume all day
клиенту не понравился. Он хочет более точный перевод. Слово "создает" имеется ввиду "делает", слово "бесконечный" от слова "бесконечность-infinity" - по его мнению.

Я конечно сделала еще один вариант
Mascara makes your lashes infinite volume during the whole day.
Помогите придумать благозвучный и точный вариант
���
This mascara gives your lashes maximum volume all day long!
Explanation:
I am not so sure that you want to use "infinite" because it doesn't quite fit. I did some searching and couldn't find any hits for makeup and "infinite volume. I did find a lot of math & science related topics however. Well, except for this http://www.galant-cosmetic.ru/index.php?action=price_list&ma... This is for Russian-speakers however.

neutral  Elena Ivaniushina: никак не могу согласиться с infinite volume; даже при том, что заказчик думает именно так, по-моему, для англозяычного потребителя будет выглядеть просто нелепо

Mascara helps dramatically volumizing your eyelashes all day long..

Mascara keeps your eyelashes volumized all day long..

\'infinite volume\' implies the eyelashes will become so big they can cover the eyes :-)))

agree  Mikhail Kropotov: I mean this is not a task for a non-native speaker, but what is more, the editor is not likely to do a proper job either. +++ The end product (the final text of the ad) should really be worked out together with the person granting the ultimate OK.

  -> Alas, but I am a native speaker, weaned on commercials and advertising! I think it could work. The problem is that all of the really good slogans are taken (referring to mascara). Thank you Mike!

Тушь создает бесконечный объем ресницам в течении всего
mascara creates extra / incredible / full volume


Explanation:
(This) mascara creates extra / incredible / full volume that lasts for the whole day.

В кавычках необязательный элемент, через косую черту -- варианты эпитетов. "Ресницам" можно спокойно опустить -- для других объектов тушь для ресниц (mascara) и не предназначается.

Можно посмотреть, что в таких случаях пишут на специализированных сайтах:

... A waterproof mascara that creates maximum volume, breath-taking
length and superb definition for dramatic lashes. ...
www.cosway.com.my/product/cosmetic/mascara.htm

Step 2 - Lash coloring:
mascara creates full volume, ultra rich color and shine. ...
www.bourjoisusa.com/eyes/mascara/1

Plush Mascara Voluptuous formula creates incredible volume, length, density ...
shopping.yahoo.com/b_mascara_ 33295536_11?s=11&mid=1003619


и пр.

А клиента насчет infinity лучше переубедить и просветить. Ну не пишут так...

Тушь создает бесконечный объем ресницам в течении всего
Mascara maximizes lashes


Explanation:
I think this is the most succinct way to put it. This is a commercial, so the wording has to be short.

neutral  Robert Donahue (X): Which mascara? All of them, or a specific brand? Yes commercials should be succinct and brevity is the soul of wit, but it still has to convey the message the advertiser wants (and is paying for).
