Do you wear mascara on your bottom lashes?

That's it really.

I don't as I find they become really thick and spidery, and all I can see is my eyelashes when I look in the mirror. But I wonder if I need a different mascara to my top lashes.

I do- I just do one brush though.

If I have false lashes on the top then I use a lower lash mascara by Clinique.

My usual mascara is DiorShow and I love it. It has a massive brush and doesn't clog up although it is expensive and needs replacing faster than some other brands.

If I wear mine on my lower lashes it slides down my face. I've tried so many brands but nothing sticks.

No, mine are longer than the top ones (some design fault there I reckon)

With the top ones, I curl and use "They're Real" one coat over a primer mascara. (Otherwise my eyelashes are rubbish Sad )

Nope, I too look like a spider if I put mascara on them. Not the best look.

Yes - v thin coat, for colour not for volume. I have v fair hair and lashes and would look odd and mismatched with top-lash-only mascara.

Clinique Lash Power has a teeny brush and is great applied very lightly to lower lashes

My eyes look larger when I don't but I can't help applying a tiny weeny layer, it feels 'finished' !

Yes, my eyes look odd if I don't. Mascara on the bottom lashes gives that wide eyed look that I like.

I just wipe an almost dry brush across them to add a bit of colour. I find this makes me look more awake slightly less sickly

Yes I also use the Clinuque lower lash mascara. Does a great job. Never seen any others for sale. I'd like a cheaper one!

I do but only a light coat, usually with whats left on the wand after the first coat on the top. I have pale eyelashes and I need to otherwise the look odd compared to the top lashes. I have occasionally had the spider look but I find this only happens with brand new or almost dead mascara.

Interdental brushes are handy for lower lashes if you don't want the clumpy look.

No but I have bottom lashes as long as the top ones. If I put mascara on them I have that 60's Twiggy, false bottom lash look.

No. Every time I try it just ends up under my eyes and I look like a panda.

It always rubs off under my eyes too! I have to wipe it away within a couple of hours and it never stays on. This is depsite it sticking well to my upper lashes.

I do but when I had my make up done recently in Bobbi Brown, they only did the top eyelashes. Same with eyeliner. I couldn't decide if I liked the effect.
