Mascara really makes a difference

SeaMaiden · ‎03-10-2010

I now wear very little makeup. I am 66 and I only wear a bit of lipstick and a bit ofblush and Mascara. I dab a bit of concealor on two spots. But, really my skin is good.

I do find that mascara is really a game changer and makes my eyes stand out so well from no mascara. I apply just a lid primer in beige and mascara.

good point, I have been letting that fall by the wayside, because I wear glasses, and it's one less thing I have to remove. But now that masks are beginning to come off, I am going to buy some today.

@Bhvbum I bought 3 different brands yesterday to replace my old mascara. I like to try different brands to see what works best. I am not good at getting rid of them every 3 months as is said to do... but, I do try to be consistant at least at doing it EVENTUALLY....

I actually just came back from buying some. Who knows how old the mascara I have now. So after a year and a half of not buying it, I tossed it. I picked up the worlds best selling mascara, the pink-case Maybelline. A bargain.

Just wanted to say that I have tried every popular mascara, from cheap to expensive. The absolutely best mascara I've used is from Thrive Causemetics. Their "Liquid Lash Extensions" mascara is amazing. I have very sparse lashes and this is the only mascara that does the perfect combination of lengthening and thickening without clumps. And it doesn't wear off quickly like other mascaras do.

I just noticed that their website has free shipping today.

I have noticed that using a mascara primer makes a big difference for how my mascara looks.

@piperbay is there a brand of primer you especially like? I might try that!

YES, mascara makes a big difference. I've always said if I could only have two makeup products it would be mascara and lipgloss....lashes and lips
When I used mascara, I used a primer (don't recall the brand), Loreal Telescopic for length and something else for volume. I still wear mascara on my bottom lashes and use the Telescopic. I've been using false lashes for over 2 years and haven't once looked back!

@monicakmMy lashes have been so sparse since chemo that I'm thinking of giving false lashes a try. I've held off because I'm concerned about having to deal with glue, removal, frequency of replacement, etc. Can you give me a few tips/recommendations? I'd love never having to wear (and remove) mascara again!

I really agree with you! I hardly ever wear makeup any more either. I am 69. This is such a change from just a couple years ago when I was still working, I never left the house without full makeup. Now, when I do wear at least mascara, lipstick and a bit of concealer, it makes such a difference!
