Hi Makeup Fairy
I don't use a lot of makeup, and what I do use I like to look pretty natural. I have a hard time finding a good mascara that doesn't glue my eyelashes together or look too heavy. I usually unscrew the cap, then wipe the brush on a tissue to get most of the mascara off the brush before I use it, but even then everything seems to end up clumping them together a bit...
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks!!
I'm no makeup fairy, but that strikes me as counter productive. If you're wiping mascara off on a tissue, I would imagine it would compress the bristles of the wand, which would change their functionality (even temporarily).
Have you tried thinning the mascara with a few eye drops in the tube?
Other than that, I can't think of anything to suggest outside of technique, because I find that if I'm not "sweeping" mascara on the right way, it looks gloopier than I want (and I start over). But if I sweep it on (in a way I've been doing for so long I can't describe), it's all good.
I've always used plain old drug store Maybeline mascaras - not necessarily the lines that are length focused, not "volume" focused, as I have better luck with them.
