advice
i read that mascara, in general, is really bad for your lashes. it makes them brittle and fall out easier and i don't want that to happen to me!
i am 15f. i like my eye lashes and i CAN go without mascara only if i wear eyeliner on my top lids. however, i stopped wearing eyeliner on my top lids cause it looked like i wore too much make-up and i switched to using mascara instead. i do like wearing mascara, but my eyelashes are reasonably long and thick (enough for me to go without mascara). i have very dark brown hair and black eyebrows & black eyelashes.
i wanted to know what i can do to condition my eyelashes. i know you can buy conditioning mascara and stuff like that, but i have nutritional mascara but it doesn't seem to help much? i want to avoid wearing mascara (i already curl my eyelashes) but i don't want to sacrifice my beauty.
can someone recommend a good eyelash conditioner or something i can use to help my eyelashes look thicker and longer NATURALLY? nothing over $15, pleasee. and please be honest with me ... (1) have you used the product? (2) what did you like? (3) what didn't you like? (4) did it help make your eyelashes look thicker and longer naturally?
i CAN just avoid mascara all together but i don't wear a lot. like i only wear one single coat. i just need a little for it to look good. is that okay? how should you properly remove mascara from your lashes? i lightly put my fingers around my lashes and pull them through with lots of warm water on my finger pads, yet one or two lashes still fall out. i don't want to have to depend on mascara when i'm older so i want to be as natural as i can while i'm still young!
I would recommend clear mascara.
It works well if you have dark + thick lashes already. Also you can put on the clear mascara and just go over it with one coat of black mascara.
This is the one I have, I'm addicted to it. I've had three already :P

I sometimes just wear that, but generally I put on a light coat of mascara.
I use Maybelline define a lash. http://www.makeuploveaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/750td_xl.jpg
It's good cause it's thin and liquidy.
*edit*
Since you hate create-a-lash I'll recommend another :P
Try Pro Longlash

or
Fibre Rich Lash

They both work well too :)
For removing mascara, I suggest you use a oil based waterproof eye makeup remover.
This is because oil based makes it come off way easier. I don't know why but it does.
Even if you don't wear waterproof makeup, the remover works better and you don't have to pull the lashes as much.
:) Hope this helped.
(Rating: 5) thanks that's a good idea except i already have clear / nutritional mascara. i used to use define-a-lash and i actually hate it hahah cause it gets really clumpy and SO MUCH comes out with one coat! but good suggestions
