The pic -Oy- posted with the dark-haired young lady in a mask got me thinking. Til masks are again passé, enhancing your face will have to switch from lips (and lipstick) to the eyes. The thing is, I *hate* the feeling of mascara on my lashes—especially toward the end of the day. My lashes just feel gloppy and I don’t know how effectively remove the stuff. Any suggestions as to brand or technique? Thanks
Yaaayyyyy makeup talk.
Are your lashes already dark brown with no blonde tips? If so you might try a clear mascara. It will define your lashes without feeling as heavy as regular mascara, and obviously you won't have to worry about dark smudges.
If your lashes for sure need color, I fell in love with Wet'n'Wild Mega Length waterproof mascara. It's inexpensive, you can find it at the drugstore or on Amazon, it goes on light, makes your lashes look longer, the brush doesn't clump, and the product doesn't smudge.
For removing waterproof mascara, I like Neutrogena Oil-Free eye makeup remover (in the blue bottle, shake well before using!!). It works as well as Clinique Take The Day Off but for half the price. I also like Boscia Makeup Breakup cleansing oil, which is safe to use on your eyes
if they're not too sensitive. It also melts sunscreen and foundation so you'd only need one product to do your whole face! Then follow with your regular cleanser to really get into the pores.
Even if you're not using eyeshadow you can emphasize your eyes with a tinted eyelid primer and by using a highlighter along the oribital bone and under the arch of your brows. I like Too Faced Shadow Insurance lid primer and Smashbox Under Eye Brightener.
Hope that helps!
