Makeup Tip for Curled Eyelash Challenge
Makeup Tip for Curled Eyelash Challenge. You all might know this already, but somehow this beauty tidbit has alluded me all these years: If you have hard to curl eyelashes, curl first with your eyelash curler and then apply waterproof mascara! I recently bought CoverGirl LashBlast mascara and accidentally bought the waterproof version. I was ready to return it to the store, but I thought, hey, it’s summer. There will be swimming, and other water-related activities, maybe it’s a good idea to have at least one waterproof mascara in my arsenal of lash enhancers. While I was not overwhelmed by LashBlast, and was very disappointed by not being overwhelmed, I was astounded by the fact that my eyelashes remained curled ALL DAY after applying this mascara. I did use an eyelash curler first, and then applied the mascara. Usually after I apply mascara, even after using a curler first, my eyelashes uncurl, maybe not going all the way back to straight, but definitely not holding the curl made by the curler. This even happened with the Lancome curling mascara, Courbe Virtuôse - I literally watched as my eyelashes “deflated.” $23.50 mascara that promises lashes that curl past 90 degrees for 12 hours, and my lashes do the exact opposite. I even thought I’d then help the mascara out by curling the lashes first, and my lashes still unfurled the curl when I put on the mascara. Having used several different Lancome mascaras previously and liking them, I was shocked at the dismal performance of Courbe Virtuôse. I had even thrown away my receipt thinking that, of course, this Lancome mascara would work. Ok, maybe I wouldn’t get crazy curled eyelashes, but I thought they would at least keep a curl. Ah, no such luck, and I’m out $23.50!
