MASCARA!! It only makes sense that I start off my blog with my favourite. Screw the natural look, when it comes to plumping my lashes, the more dramatic the better. Clumps? I don't really care, in fact, I think it adds to the fullness. There's really no need for me to be subtle about the fact that I layered 10 types of mascara to enhance my modest lashes. A frame of curled, super lush lashes is a gift for us tiny eyed folk. That being said, you must CURL! I got my lash curler for 2$ at Daiso in Richmond (supposedly they're designed for asian eyes?)
Anyway, here's my walkthrough:
1. after eyeshadow application, comb through non-creamy, non-oily, clean eyelashes to separate and straighten
2. using lash curler, start squeezing lashes starting at the base, hold for 3 seconds and release.
3. repeat process as you work your way up to the lash tips, don't be afraid to over curl as the mascara will start sagging your lashes later
4. begin with mascara#1 that will lengthen and separate your lashes, to help you choose, use a mascara with a thin, many bristled brush
5. start at the base of your lashes, and wiggle the brush a few times from left to right as you move upwards. do this until you've achieved your desired length
- tiP: if you're finding this wiggling technique difficult, try holding your mascara wand horizontally and still in front of your eye. then, blink so that your lashes sweep over the brush. and keep on blinking!
6. now, time for mascara#2 that will add mini fibres in the application. work it!
7. next, mascara#3 with a plastic comb to help the fibres spread evenly, and separate ..keep building!
8. finally, use mascara#4 that will create volume and thickness, go crazy!
9. and now back to mascara#1 which will once again help separate lashes, and bring the other mascara goop to the lash tips. or you could instead use a eyebrow or mascara brush to comb through
10. optional, gently re-curl. but if you have brittle/easy to fall out lashes ..do not!
As for the bottom lashes, use mascara #1 and then #3. You may also want to try holding the brush vertically, moving side to side, or painting up and down. For the longest time, I never did the bottom bits because I always ended up colouring my eye skin. But what I've found is that non-waterproof mascara can be easily taken off with a q-tip and flicking motions, don't be afraid =)
*pictures and review of my collection coming very soon!* I have my fair share, cause I don't throw them away as recommended. No eye infections as of yet!
