Glossary entry (derived from question below)
Russian term or phrase:
Тушь создает бесконечный объем ресницам в течении всего
English translation:
This mascara gives your lashes maximum volume all day long
Russian term
Тушь создает бесконечный объем ресницам в течении всего
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

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: 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 creates extra / incredible / full volume
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:

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

: 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).
