How did I used to get my lashes so big?
Honestly I think mascara has changed - first pic is giving me Benefit's "They're Real" vibes.

What’s a mascara brand that makes you look like you have huge false lashes on?
Benefit's They're Real is the single best dramatic mascara I've ever used. It's a pain in the ass to remove though so I rarely wear it.

How to keep eyelashes from clumping together?
Tinted lash primer is a game changer! I use the Benefit They're Real tinted lash primer in brown. For my top lashes, I coat with the primer, separate the lashes with a spoolie, fill in my lash line with a brown liquid eyeliner, then go back in with a dark brown or black mascara and separate with a s

Not to be that girl but she’s really that good…
I fell asleep on an airplane while wearing the ilia mascara and when we landed my seatmate awkwardly told me she liked my eyelashes and asked what mascara I was using. The only other time that happened (someone complimented my eyelashes), I was wearing the benefit they're real mascara.

mascara tears
I wonder if brown mascara would look better if it runs? I'm only suggesting that because I recently purchased a BROWN Tinted Primer by Benefit called "They're Real," although I use it like it's mascara. It only lightly smudged after an morning spent crying through a funeral (but it still looked GOOD

Holy grail mascara recommendations
The length is insane. The volume is good. If you want drama, Benefit They’re real is the best dramatic mascara I have ever used ever. It’s just hard to remove. So it’s not perfect

Why are my eyelashes perpetually straight??
Curlers stopped doing it for me too; and I discovered that they actually make good mascaras now that work without them! I love Benefit mascaras, and feel I really don't need a curler for They're Real! and BadGAL Bang! mascaras. And they truly make my lashes pop!

What's a product you have been eyeing...let people de-influence you.

Did I do it? Did I avoid blindness and do clean girl??
So I also have very thin eyebrows and something I can and do suggest for a natural look is to find and use a powder and a very small angled brush. MAC sells one specifically for brows. I recommend to find a single eyeshadow as they are very finely milled and will give you a very natural shadow under

What's a good mascara for a contact lens wearer?
I use a brown Tinted Primer by Benefit called "They're Real," but use it like it's mascara. The price is more than I wanted to spend ($29 USD), but dang... it was worth it. I wear contacts and have sensitive eyes but this primer/mascara is comfortable, natural looking, and has never given me raccoon
