Do you wear mascara on your bottom lashes?

Inspired by another thread I can't help wondering if I've been putting my mascara on wrong all these years? So what is the verdict? Does it go on bottom lashes or not?

I put it on the bottom lashes. I'm not very stylish so idea if i'm doing it right or not. It definitely looks better on top and bottom lashes on me.

Only for a night out, if I put mascara on my bottom lashes during the day it ends up in my under eye bags by the end of the working day.
Tbh it prob does the same on a night out, but is less noticeable due to darkness/beer googles

Rarely as I have horrible eye rubbing tendencies so this avoids panda eyes.

FamiliesShareGerms · 19/10/2014 19:45

No, I'm very fair and this looks awful on me

HolgerDanske · 19/10/2014 19:46

I don't. I prefer the fresh look of upper lashes only.

GertrudePerkins · 19/10/2014 19:46

yes, I am blonde, and look like a piggy without

no eyeliner at the bottom though.

SnakeyMcBadass · 19/10/2014 19:48

No. I am extremely long sighted so essentially put mascara on blind. Top lashes are long enough that I don't stab myself in the eye.

Jellylove · 19/10/2014 19:50

I don't put it on bottom lashes except for a night out when make up "heavier" darker tones

flingingmelon · 19/10/2014 19:50

No, too spidery as they're pale.

Rumandcokeplease · 19/10/2014 19:52

Yes, definitely, I just look weird without a bit on the bottom as they're really fair!

magicpixie · 19/10/2014 19:58

never have as I think it looks like spider legs on bottom lashes

but when I had a make over recently at bobbi brown
I was told I should!

funny enough I was about to start exactly the same thread so thanks saltnpepper

LocalVelvet · 19/10/2014 20:07

Yes, definitely. My lashes are pale at the ends and it looks so much better, even if I don't do much eyeshadow or liner.

Though I also like to pile that on the bottom eye, sometimes ??

I do it by holding the mascara brush kind of vertical and brushing it on individual lashes.

BellaVita · 19/10/2014 20:11

Yes I do. I use a primer on the bottom lashes first though as it helps them look thicker/fuller.

Bartlebee · 19/10/2014 20:17

I don't as mine are quite long and it ends up on my skin.

ThursdayLast · 19/10/2014 20:19

Nope, never have

jenniuol · 19/10/2014 20:23

I do. I don't pile it on though. Despite having dark brown hair my eyelashes are actually quite fair so I look odd without it.

samesizetoes · 19/10/2014 20:28

No, I just end up smudging it

Mintyy · 19/10/2014 20:30

Yes. Brush across horizontally lightly (rather than down). I still do this even though I am 52. But I very weirdly have few wrinkles under my eyes.

CointreauVersial · 19/10/2014 20:47

No. I think it opens up your eyes more if you just do the top lashes.

Also, the lower ones just smudge.

Carpaccio · 19/10/2014 20:48

Most of the time I wear mascara on the bottom lashes, but it does depend on the rest of my makeup. I don't pile loads on - it's just to give the bottom lashes colour and length, but not to the point of looking like little spidery legs.

I use a tubing mascara so it doesn't smudge :)

CMP69 · 19/10/2014 20:49

YES! I have non existent lashes if no mascara or dye so I just do out of habit

BoydCrowder · 19/10/2014 20:52

Yep. I've got virtually invisible eyelashes and just putting mascara on top looks really odd.

Cocolepew · 19/10/2014 20:54

Yes and I have dark lashes, it never smudges, but I put less on the bottom than the top ones.

Yes! I have a mascara with a normal brush on one end and a mini brush on the other end especially for bottom lashes.
