It doesn't look good at all. Looks they have spiders on their eyes.

If you wear false eye lashes you put mascara over them. So you need to really find a great mascara. I have very dry skin and get the same thing. I love Benifits Bad Gal mascara or Smashbox Full Exposure mascara. Use a eye lash curler before you put it on. Pump the curler 3 times. It will give you a nice curl. Also let it dry for a few seconds before putting on a second coat. Use a comb to separate your lashes. I don't wear a lot of makeup but mascara and blush is the two things I don't leave the house without!

I have used Lancome mascara for years. It is the best! To prevent smudging, always go with waterproof!

I have not used Lancome mascara, but I use the formula foundation for older skin, and it is fabulous....I love it.

BLowry · 10-21-2012, 09:57 AM

I have tried many many mascaras in my life time and keep going back to maybelline...I used to use the one in the pink and green tube...great lash .....i think....as we get older our lashes thin out and I wasn't getting the fullness that I wanted...so tried something else,,,didn't work.,.,.For the past several years(since they came out with it) I have been using maybelline full and soft...unless i am rubbing my eye,,,I never get mascara smudges...and it doesn't make my lashes feel stiff. AND...it comes off with water...not a fan of waterproof...pulls out my lashes....I don't care for false lashes either...unless it's halloween! LOL...I think you can tell when someone is wearing them...JMO...keep searching...you will find a brand of mascara that will work for you

Been using this since I was in high school, 1966! Love it....and like you, I have used a lot of different kinds, and always go back to my "tried and true"!!

I love their products! Well worth the few extra dollars imho.

Thanks everyone for all the information. I have tried the Pink and Green, but for me it still leaves me with raccoon eyes. I will try a few of the other suggestions for mascara before I attempt the false eye lashes. They sound too difficult for the do it yourself ones and too expensive for the salon ones.

I am BIG fan of eyelashes.. I will normally wear them if I have something special going on. I love the big ones, thick and long is the way I go- The more dramatic the better! Some might say they are too big, but when I wear them I get a lot of complements... so I guess I am doing something right.

Eyelashes are really easy to put on… They have these ones I think they are KISS brand, they have a string on them to help you put them on- to line them up. They are really nice, however I don’t like them, the string annoys me- For someone getting use to putting them on, I think they would be perfect!

I sometimes during the week wear the smaller ones. Depends on my mood.

I use the green and pink waterproof mascra and I don't ever have any smudging.. I also use the Maybelline waterproof liquid eyeliner and I have to scrub my eyes with a baby wipe to get it off!! Never any raccoon eyes!!

I think it just depends on what you are looking for....

Makeup can be like an Art where you can go a little over the top...
make sure you blend blend and blend some more....

Or if you want to just do something light with a barely there effect.

I do a completely different type of look when I am going Out in the City, [which is just about every weekend..... ]
my regular weekend wear is much less dramatic....

I also Looooove doing a really GREAT Mask on a Sunday Evening!!

MAC has all kinds of lashes... they have a clear band on them so you can
get them close to your own lash line and they look more natural.
they have the More Dramatic as well as the every day looking ones.

I used the green tube Clinique mascara for years, it makes your lashes look fuller, loved it, then I wanted length so I went to the black tube, where one side is a comb and the other the brush. That one I like the look of my eyes with but it does smudge by mid afternoon. The green one never smudged. I'm very mascara picky and Clinique worked for years, but I think it's time for a change for me. I have a problem with drug store mascara drying up and flaking off into my eyes. Every kind Ive ever tried does this, drives me CRAZY! Ive heard Dior has good mascara too. I want to try it eventually.

Well, they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or in this case, the eyelash of the beholder.

You have beautiful eyes, and I think the object of makeup is to draw attention to your best features, but not draw attention to the makeup. On the other hand, I think fashion and makeup is fun, and you should do what pleases you.
