like most asian women, i have straight, downward drooping lashes. however, no one would know since i have discovered the art of curling lashed and wearing WATERPROOF mascara.
SHU UEMURA curler is the only way to go. it is sold at sephora for $24. it is well worth it. with this curler, you only need a bit of mascara. SHISEIDO also makes one that is very similar and is cheaper. i have had mine for over 6 years and is still going strong. the trick is in how to curl the lashes. instead of clamping just at the base of your lashes, it is best to separate lashes into 3 sections - base, middle, tip and curl each section.
i use WATERPROOF mascara all the time. i have tried every brand of imaginable (maybelline, loreal, revlon, lancome, chanel, bourjois... )
some reviews say they are harsh on your lashes, but if you use the right cleanser (cleansing oil/bi-phase eye makeup remover) it is not a problem. the reason this works is because it drys quicker than regular mascara (where WATER is the 1st ingredient) and holds the curls. the first ingredient for waterproof mascara should be ISODECADINE.
2 of my favourite are LANCOME DEFINICIL($32cdn) and JAPANESE mascaras from Shiseido or Kiss me or Maybelline Japan (www.sasa.com).
some drugstore doubles are LOREAL VOLUMINOUS and MAYBELLINE FALSIES (my favourite drugstore mascara), ONE BY ONE. revlon mascaras are the worst; do not waste your money.
in my next post, i will do more in depth reviews on each mascara and other options. till then, have fun with your new found tips~
