@NYCLatinaMe 

My eyelashes are like yours - straight and they stick out at an angle where they are not visible.  I've been curling them with an eyelash curler since the age of 16.  And yes, they will promptly uncurl - UNLESS - you use waterproof mascara. 

 

Years ago, it wasn't a problem because all mascaras left your eyelashes stiff (and the curl stayed).  But then there was a shift to mascaras that left your lashes soft, and mine uncurled every time.  I confess I know nothing about eyelash perms, but an eyelash curler followed by a waterproof mascara does the job for me.

High school, black tie, night out, work, grocery store, family reunion, whatever:

 

A few swipes or dots of concealer or foundation

Single color on eye lid.

Mascara

Eyebrow pencil

 

Occasionally add:

Lip gloss or stick

Very fine line along eyelashes, top lid, never bottom

Maybe a dustof blush or bronzer if night or artificial lighting. 

Often a sweep of matte powder for oily shiny skin of mine

I use foundation, blush, eye brow pencil and eyeliner.  Also a light lipstick.  

I put this on everyday regardless of my day.

I do Bobbi Brown's 5 minute face most days:

 

Skincare/SPF

Tinted SPF or tinted moisturizer

Mascara (my glasses mean no other eye makeup needed)

Blush

Lip Gloss

 

For full face if going to work or out at night:

 

I add concealer, maybe stick foundation (Westman Atelier), Givenchy Prime Libre setting powder (purchased the mini at the last Sephora sale and most of it still left...use so little), eyeliner (Urban Decay 24/7 navy, charcoal or dark brown as a tightline), lip liner and maybe lipstick under the gloss.

 

I'm always very minimal with makeup.

 


@Shanus  I've been thinking of trying a tinted moisturizer and wanted your feedback regarding Bobbi Brown vs Laura Mercier vs NARS. Do you use either in place of a daytime moisturizer or in addition to?Thanks!

I never leave the house at all without curling my lashes and wearing brow pencil, even if I have nothing else on!   Smiley Happy
