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

wanting to invest in high end makeup, but idk where to start
you don’t NEED high end make up in order to level up your make up routine. i feel like back in the days it was a case of a clear difference and high end make up did outdo drugstore brands. now i think there’s less of a line, and cheaper brands have really come a long way, personally i think this is

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.

Which discontinued/reformulated makeup product do you desperately want back?
Benefit - Erase Paste - the best concealer I’ve ever had. Nothing else has come close. Benefit - They’re Real OG. True false lash effect with no flaking or smudging. The reformulation flakes & smudges within an hour. Horrible Lancome - Aquacils mascara. Long & voluminous lashes that lasted through h

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!
