I’m single again

Thank you!! I use the Maybelline Colossal mascara and a lil bit of dark brown eyeshadow to make it pop on my face and look darker :) The mascara is really good I like the brush but it’s not waterproof so it can smudge :/

Rant about tubing mascara

I've worn waterproof mascara for over 15 years. Maybelline Volum Express The Colossal and my lashes are great. I also love a good tubing mascara (ELF, Hourglass, and Tarte). I double cleanse every night and have never had any issues with any of them.

Would you do your own wedding makeup?

A few things. I did my wedding makeup for both weddings (to the same person). Layer products (meaning, powder blush to set a matching cream or liquid blush, powder bronzer to set cream or liquid bronzer, etc.) Use a primer or primers based on your skin and the weather. I used Tatchas Silk Liquid pri

Mascara for straight lashes?

Asian lashes here. Do you curl and then use waterproof mascara? It’s the only type that holds a curl. Right now I’m obsessed with the Maybelline colossal bubble waterproof! People ask me if I’m wearing extensions and cannot believe they are my real lashes.

Drugstore mascara(s) review for straight Asian lashes

I got the Colossal Bubble Mascara by Maybelline and loved it. They have a waterproof version which may work well for people with oily lids! I'm not a fan of waterproof mascara so I got the normal version. Some people have smudging issues with the non-waterproof version (I didn't have any issues) so

Any idea on how to recreate a similar look?

sorry in advance for this being so long, but i think if you're a skincare girl then that's great for this look! a beginner could definitely do this with few products, it might just take a little bit of trial and error to see which products work best for you & to get the hang of the techniques but i

Hit me with your best mascara.

I feel like I've tried every one out there. Legit, from drugstore to high end. Every high end one people claim is worth the hype, I don't see it (YSL, Dior, etc.) The one I have gone back to for legit probably 15+ years is Maybelline Volum Express The Colossal mascara (typically in waterproof formul

Your holy grail mascara?

HEROINE MAKE by KISSME Brown Mascara Waterproof. Nothing else compares. I have straight lashes and very oily eyelids. I used to use Maybelline Colossal waterproof, but Heroine Make is truly bullet proof.

If Budget Wasn't an Issue

Maybelline's Volum' Express The Colossal mascara in washable or waterproof; both are superb. Have used it for longer than I can remember, and nothing, no matter how highly praised, has EVER held a candle to it.
