Wearing mascara on your lower lashes?

[needcha]

I’ve tried it but my eyes are too watery and it looks a mess. But I absolutely love the look.

Does anyone do this? I rarely see this look.

I actually use a purple mascara. It looks black it’s bizarre.

Always, mine are long so I use a waterproof mascara and clean up any residue with a q-tip

Only top lashes for me, look bit spidery if I do the bottom!

Only top lashes for me as I have round eyes, slightly downward sloping and mascara on lower lashes just makes me look like a tired doll.

If it's smudging due to watering then a waterproof mascara. But it's more likely smudging due to oils in which case you need a tubing mascara. There's quite a few now. Google best tubing mascaras for it.

Same here, thought this was the norm.

I read on here about a year ago that most people do only the top eyelashes now.
I think it looks odd on me if I don't do the lower lashes.
I haven't really noticed what other people do, I will have to start checking.
(Imagines self gazing earnestly into everyone's eyes. I wonder how they will react)

Definitely both. Every time I've had my make up done by a make up artist they also do both.

I don't put mascara on my lower lashes because I look like a panda about three minutes later.

On occasion I do the bottom will do one eye with and one without tomorrow and see what I prefer!

It makes my eyes look like spiders. Only top lashes for me.

But are you getting your makeup done for an occasion? Where you’d want your makeup more “dramatic” than your every day look?

(Not saying your makeup looked dramatic just more noticeably than your day to day)

I never put it on lower lashes

I do my own lash lift and dye both top and bottom. Mascara smudges on the botttom for me.

I only do the top lashes. I don't like the way my bottom ones look plus they smudge really easily even with my favourite tubing mascara

I do top and bottom, but I use tubing mascara so it never smudges!

I put Mascara at the root and fan it out through my lower lashes.

Only ever on the top (eyeliner and eyeshadow, too), it makes my eyes look brighter and bigger.

Clinique sell a specific tiny bottom lash mascara with a microscopic wand for getting right to the route.

I used to do both but found from about age 48 onwards that just doing the top set made me look younger and "fresher", so now I only do the upper lashes.

Both, always. Used to only do top lashes but since turning 60 my lashes have got sparse and somehow shorter than they used to be! Also eyes have got a bit hooded.

So for the past few years I've gone minimal with the eyeshadow, just use a brightening concealer on lids and underneath, and then use a tubing mascara - usually Estee Lauder double wear - using it to tight-line the waterline rather than using a harsher eyeliner.

I do however wear glasses so I always think I need to emphasise both sets of lashes as eyes can disappear a bit behind specs.

I have done too and bottom since a teenager, my eyes look weird to me if I only do top.

I always use a tubing mascara to stop any smudging

I have never done mascara on bottom lashes!

I never do the bottom lashes, too afraid of smudging. It's quite a 60s look. I have naturally full, dark lashes anyway so don't really need the bottom ones doing.

I prefer to put it just on the top ones. I think it makes my top ones look that tiny bit longer
