I have incredibly sparse and short eyelashes. I sleep with a beauty mask over my eyes, and on many occasions, in the morning my lashes are already twisted in some bizarre way due to the way I slept the night before. I do use a basic Revlon eyelash curler, but it doesn’t seem to have much of an effect at all. My only hope is a decent masacra to fix things up.

And for about twenty years now, I’ve been using the same mascara, because it has the only wand that understands how to grab the tiniest of my lashes and give them life: L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Full Definition Mascara. The wand’s bristles are spaced closely together, so there’s no chance of “skipping” a tiny lash stranded alone, which means I’m not double or triple coating the little guys. Sparse lashes look fat from the mascara itself after only one coat, and any more than that gives it a very trashy look.

The other thing I need from a mascara is the ability to be gentle to my eyes. There’s no sense in putting it on if my eyes are going to start tearing a minute later! It’s also why I am always very hesitant to try new mascara; how can I test it without feeling like I wasted money? I’ve found it impossible to do, which is why I will probably stick with the same mascara brand and brush I’ve been using for the past twenty years; at least until they stop making it!
