Mascara

I was just watching a demonstration on a particular mascara that is very highly rated. I can’t get over how bad the models eyelashes always look. Clumpy and spidery. Is this what QVC really thinks that we want?

Would you care to share the brand?

Don't know which model or mascara you're referring to but there's one demo they do where the model's lashes are soooo long - too long. I don't think they're attractive whatsoeer.

Huge clumpy lashes appear to be the style. I don't know how any young women I've seen with those giant eye lashes. It is this generation's update of bright blue eye shadow.

None of my younger friends wear their mascara that way. Most of them don't even wear it.

Those lashes scared my DH and he made me promise I wouldn't do mine that way. Why would I? Yuck

I'm not sure what you were watching because today seems to be all about gardening.

Most mascara demos I see on QVC would be a deterrent for many people. I think they cake too many coats of mascara on which results in clumpy lashes. In reality I'm betting many of the mascaras aren't that bad.

They always use models with super long lashes. How are we supposed to see if it really does what they say if they use it on someone blessed with beautiful long lashes?

I hate when they do mascara demos, and the models just keep putting more and more on, and eventually they end up with eye lashes that most of us in the "Real World" wouldn't do......

Just show us what one or two coats will do! Most of the models have used some sort of lash lengthening product, and that is why their lashes are super long before any mascara is applied.

I think they think that showing us those super long lashes will get us to buy the product faster.....

There is a beautiful blonde model named Autumn, and she has such nice skin, but they have so much makeup on her, it almost ruins her looks, less is really more in this case.

It was on either QVC2 or 3 this morning. It was the lights camera lashes mascara. Quite honestly it doesn’t even matter what brand it was, I think they all look like that when they’re showing them on TV. Never makes me wanna buy them. My daughter’s reaction was, “grab a make up wipe“!!!

@wannabe I know what you mean. Most of the eyelash models have used the product to have their lashes grow and when they use mascara it is a complete, ugly mess. I don't know how the Q can think this is attractive.

I wonder if any of them have lash extensions

Not that anyone asked, but my fave Mascara is Lancome Definicils. I'm on every three month auto delivery from Lancome. Nicely defines my sparse old lady lashes. Finds even the tiny ones. Looks natural but opens up my eyes. No smudging or flaking. Easy to remove. The more gimmicky mascaras are too gloppy and thick for me

I'd make a bet that they have a few coats of lash primer on before they begin applying the mascara. Yuck to that look!

@wannabe , I've used that mascara before. It wasn't clumpy or nasty on me. Not my fave but not bad. I think this was another case of too many coats.

The lights camera lashes is one of my favorite mascaras and I don't get the big clumpy look. I guess qvc just wants to show that it can be piled on and on. I use one or two coats and it is fine.
