MASCARA QUESTION.  I don't remember if it was a host or vender who made  a comment that she doesn't know anyone who only does one coat of mascara.  So how many coats of mascara do you do?  Do you let each coat dry before reapplying?  Curious because there are days I only do one coat......didn't know I'm in the minority apparently LOL.

First I use a lash primer.  For the mascara it's usually one coat on the bottom and two on top.  If I really want to amp it up, I'll do one more coat - but that's rare.

@molly and me One coat? You swipe from base to tip of the lash once & then you are done?

Um. Is that considered one coat?

Then I probably do 10 or so. 

Center of lashes, inner corner lashes, outer corner lashes & then go back over the lashes until I am sure that they are all evenly coated & look as long & pretty as they can.

Then I work on the bottom lashes, so that they are all coated, but not glumpy.

No, I don't let the mascara dry between coats.

I use 1 coat.  I was blessed with dark, long lashes so there was no reason to use more.  Currently I'm using the new mascara from Covergirl that is plant based.  I LOVE it.  No irritation and great coverage.

It depends on my day. Lately, though, in this Texas heat only one coat on top.

@molly and me  - If you've never used a lash primer, you should try.  It makes all the difference in the world to me.  There are several on the market.  My favorite is Lancome's.  

 

I do what @JeanLouiseFinch does - Lash primer plus 2 coats on the top.  Lash primer plus one coat on the bottom.  For special occasions, I do more.

@molly and me   For every day, I use one coat...sometimes wiping the want lightly on a kleenex to get a more natural look. Since I do tightline which makes the lashes look thicker/darker that mascara application works well for me.

One coat for me.  I usually apply mascara on both sides of my top lashes.  When I was younger I would do the bottom lashes the same way, coat both sides, but now I think that it's too much, spidery lashes no good on my old face.

Two coats for me.  I wasn't blessed with beautiful lashes, however, DS's lashes are lush.  Go figure!
