How did I used to get my lashes so big?
Honestly I think mascara has changed - first pic is giving me Benefit's "They're Real" vibes.

How to keep eyelashes from clumping together?
Tinted lash primer is a game changer! I use the Benefit They're Real tinted lash primer in brown. For my top lashes, I coat with the primer, separate the lashes with a spoolie, fill in my lash line with a brown liquid eyeliner, then go back in with a dark brown or black mascara and separate with a s

Not to be that girl but she’s really that good…
I fell asleep on an airplane while wearing the ilia mascara and when we landed my seatmate awkwardly told me she liked my eyelashes and asked what mascara I was using. The only other time that happened (someone complimented my eyelashes), I was wearing the benefit they're real mascara.

mascara tears
I wonder if brown mascara would look better if it runs? I'm only suggesting that because I recently purchased a BROWN Tinted Primer by Benefit called "They're Real," although I use it like it's mascara. It only lightly smudged after an morning spent crying through a funeral (but it still looked GOOD

Tell me about a makeup product you were influenced to buy, but turned out to be really bad
Benefit They're Real mascara. I have long lashes, so I usually just use whatever is on offer, I don't bother paying premium. But the hyper surrounding his mascara was massive, and I thought I'd treat myself. Never once have I used a mascara that made my lashes look both stubby and sparse - I thought

Holy grail mascara recommendations
The length is insane. The volume is good. If you want drama, Benefit They’re real is the best dramatic mascara I have ever used ever. It’s just hard to remove. So it’s not perfect

Why are my eyelashes perpetually straight??
Curlers stopped doing it for me too; and I discovered that they actually make good mascaras now that work without them! I love Benefit mascaras, and feel I really don't need a curler for They're Real! and BadGAL Bang! mascaras. And they truly make my lashes pop!

Did I do it? Did I avoid blindness and do clean girl??
So I also have very thin eyebrows and something I can and do suggest for a natural look is to find and use a powder and a very small angled brush. MAC sells one specifically for brows. I recommend to find a single eyeshadow as they are very finely milled and will give you a very natural shadow under

What's a good mascara for a contact lens wearer?
I use a brown Tinted Primer by Benefit called "They're Real," but use it like it's mascara. The price is more than I wanted to spend ($29 USD), but dang... it was worth it. I wear contacts and have sensitive eyes but this primer/mascara is comfortable, natural looking, and has never given me raccoon

r/Makeup Daily Simple QnA
SEARCHING FOR: Natural looking mascara I have naturally long, slightly curled, pretty full lashes. I'd still like to wear mascara, since it helps them look better and tidier. Unfortunately, most mascaras make my lashes look like falsies, which isn't something I like on myself. Plus, I hate the feeli
