HELP, MASCARA DILEMMA!!!!!!!

Question

My eyelashes are mostly naturally straight, but i use an eyelash curler that curls them nicely. The thing is, all the mascara's i buy deflate the curliness the eyelash curler makes! Does anyone know of any mascara's that will hold curliness and not deflate?

Answer 1

All mascaras are the same.

Answer 2

Nutregena clean lash tint in the blue bottle. I use this and it isnt heavy on your lashes but gives you a good tint and volume.

hope that helps

:D

Answer 3

CoverGirl Lash Blast! OMG IT WORKS SO WELL, an eyelash curler will hold well with the fiber-like material of the mascara. I love it, it's so great. Hope it works, much love!

oh, and Maybelline xxl curl power is great :]

Dear Mascara Dilemma,

straight stubborn lashes are easily "forced up" to curl.

There are two methods which i will share with you.

Why did the lashes becomes straight right after you curled them to the skies?

Two valid reasons

- your mascara is too wet

- you have put too much mascara on the lashes

how to properly use it...

Curl your lashes in three portions. Close to lash tips, centre of lash length and close to the lash roots (be careful of not grabbing your skin portion of your lashes.)

Pat your mascara wand on a piece of tissue. Do not rub the wand onto the tissue as this might dislodge the tissue fibre onto your mascara wand, contaminating it with paper fibres.

After dabbing the wand of excess mascara, take the wand and swing it around using your wrists for 3 to 4 seconds. That is to dry out the mascara slightly. Then you apply the mascara onto your lashes with one coat, using a zigzag pattern. Allow this to dry before putting on the 2nd coat (which will be applied using the same method).

The slightly dried out mascara using this method, will hold the lashes up better and longer. The 2nd coat will add more volume to it. Just watch out for the wand if the mascara is too wet, everything will be pulled straight again.

The SECOND method would be...

using a heated mascara wand.

Apply a layer of your current mascara you are using on your lashes.

Allow it to dry out.

Using a heated mascara wand (made popular in Asia coz of the straight stubborn lashes we have over here), you press the lashes upwards and hold for 10 seconds.

the heat will hold the lashes up, the mascara will be totally dried up and holding the lashes upwards.

I have tried various heated eye lash wands, but the best is to use an australian brand call MODELCO as the heat is controlled and you don't have to fear about accidentally getting the heated want onto your skin. It feels hot but never burns. I know I had to try it on myself before I used it for my shoots and customers.

you can buy it from sephora at http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jh...

these two methods are what i have been using for the past 3 years of freelancing and it works. Hope it'll help you too.

My favourite mascaras for the moments are

Shu Uemua Precise Volume Mascara http://www.shuuemura-usa.com/products/Pr...

MAC Zoom Lash (not waterproof)

Answer 6

Waterproof is your best bet. I have straight lashes too and i use Covergirl's Lashblast. It comes in an orange tube. It holds my curl all day but it may clump a little bit.

also remember to curl your lashes. if you heat your eyelash curler with a hair drier for like 4 sec, your curl will last longer.

'Daring Curves'  from Avon!

Get it from your Avon representative, if you're not 100 percent satisfied then you get your money back.

It curls and holds and make your lashes super full.

And there's more to it, in my Avon brochure.

Answer 10

well....try whipping some of the mascara off of the brush with toilet paper.

maybe you are putting too much on and it's weighing them down?

Answer 11

I like how this girl curls her lashes, I have really stubborn straight lashes, and it holds them for a while. I hear that waterproof mascara holds curl longer than regular mascara. Botanics' volumizing mascara is good for not deflating the curl, I found it at Target.

Hope this helps!
