I have renounced mascara!!!

[CrossAunt]

sort of

but have found that warmed eyelash curlers and clear stuff is just as good!

why does no-one make clear mascara???

Bumperliiscous I will have to try clinique theone you recommend is it called high impact or something? I have been using Blinc kiss me for a couple of years now but I think my lashes are coming out with mascara. I have also noticed of late little tubes of mascara have fell down my face onto top lip def not a good look.I find them everywhere they are alsoquite sore if they get under your lid.

this thread is a real eye opener for me

I have never worn mascara, but I am blessed with long black eyelashes and blue eyes.

Nowwhatdoido

Clear mascara - the emperor's (old) clothes! Your mascara smudges by the end of the day because a) you're not using waterproof and b) you moisturise under your eyes and apply mascara before it's dried/before you've applied face powder.

If you're going to spend valuable seconds applying clear mascara ( frankly a waste of your time) buy even a cheap waterproof (Maybelline is fine) and lash it on. Your eyes will look bigger and you'll feel great - that the effort was worth it!

Mascara is a must!

this is good for not smudging or flicking floaters in your eyes.

I have trouble with mascara for all the reasons you mentioned, and waterproof is an arse to remove (eyes swell up with remover). Someone on here recommended Blinc to me. I'm not saying it'll revolutionise your life, but it's ok if you have an I need to wear mascara day.

BIWI I have poker straight hair, that includes my eyelashes, and even the hair around my nethers has nothing more than a few kinks in it! I had my hair (on my head!) permed as a teen and it fell out within a few days.

I envy you with your Liz Taylor lashes. My Shu Umera lash curlers don't even make that much difference.

I defo recommend the clinique mascara though, I think it is High Impact, I didn't wear mascara for years because I hated taking it off. I tried the Blinc one and didn't like it, but I can't remember why.

ok i have un renounced mascara

(i am the OP)

saw my face in the mirror in boots this morning after doing school run in the rain and promptly purchased heavy duty waterproof black mascara

i looked like an albino rat. which is quite difficult with dark hair, lashs and eyebrows

ah well...

TOSSING stuf has flaked

(rimmel stuff in a shiny turquoise tube, if you're interested)

I have never used eyelssh curlers- feel a bit squeamish about it . But do they work? Can you recommend a good set?
