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

What's the best mascara for fake facial hair?
Unless you’ve got coal black head hair or wig, various brown mascaras are the best for fluffing and drawing facial hair, ideally dark browns for stage work but can still be excessive on blondes or gingers. Most brands offer black-brown but it isn’t brown, it’s black for all intents and purposes. May

Which mascara to buy?
Back in the day, I loved Benefit They’re Real mascara. Last time I bought it, I got raccoon eyes, which didn’t happen before. I got tired of spending $30 on mascara and tried the Maybelline Sky High mascara and haven’t looked back since. I don’t even have to use the waterproof formula to not give me

(32F) I don't know a single thing about makeup and I'm getting so discouraged when I look at myself in the mirror. Advice?
You are beautiful. Check out Jamie French's basic tutorials. For skincare before makeup, wash + The Ordinarys Hyaluronic Acid, a daytime moisturizer, then I almost immediately do the foundation. Others like to do foundation and concealer last after their eyes are done due to eyeshadow fallout on the

Recommendations for Mascara?
I was really into They’re Real by Benefit until the pandemic. Once I spent so long at home with no makeup, it seemed asinine to spend $30 on a tube of mascara. The gold tube is the best.

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

Wasserfeste Mascara, die *wirklich* wischfest ist?
Ich benutze seit knapp 10 Jahren They‘re Real von Benefit und hatte noch nie das Problem, dass der Mascara bröckelt oder sich absetzt, obwohl es sich nicht um einen wasserfesten Mascara handelt. Vor einigen Tagen gab es bei Notino sogar ein Angebot. Knapp 30 Euro finde ich persönlich zu teuer.

Whenever I wear mascara, I get the urge to pull my lashes. Does someone else experience this?
Like another person commented, mascara was my gateway to pulling as well. I was picking at the clumps, found an eyelash that felt weird, and the rest is history. I saw someone saying that certain mascara textures can help them not pull. Benefit They’re Real mascara and Benefit Roller Lash mascara bo

SEARCHING FOR: Natural looking mascara I have naturally long, slightly curled, pretty full lashes. I'd still like to wear mascara, since it helps them look better and tidier. Unfortunately, most mascaras make my lashes look like falsies, which isn't something I like on myself. Plus, I hate the feeli
