psst!

I only started wearing makeup a few years ago so obviously I'm slow in learning the tricks. But here's one I have learned.

If you're lucky like I am and have really long eyelashes naturally, mascara is kind of superfluous. And thank goodness for that because the mascara brush and I only started getting on in the last two years. Anyway, fake lashes and mascara are totally unnecessary for me. Sometimes I wear it anyway but that actually makes me look like I AM wearing false ones. I found a happy medium though.

Clear mascara.

They do actually sell this and it doesn't have nearly the same dramatic effect as black or brown do. Sometimes you find it marketed as 'eyebrow mascara' or something but it's just a clear gel and does the whole 'separate the lashes' thing without making you look like a drag queen.

Of course I still really want bright purple mascara. Because why the fuck not, and PURPLE.
