If I were stranded on a desert island and only had acess to two makeup conveniences, I’d choose eyeliner and mascara. I’ll assume my face will be tan, because aren’t all imaginary islands tropical? That leaves me with pale eyelashes that would be in need of coating.

My favorite mascara is Maybelline Volum’ Express Turbo Boost, the wand is perfect for my tiny lashes that need a lot of coaxing. I also enjoy Avon’s daring Definition Mousse mascara, something about the mousse makes my lashes respond.

I am quite fair, so eyelining plays a major role in playing up my blue eyes. In many write ups experts promote my eye color looking well in blue, but I’m not a kid in the 80’s any longer, so my choices are in rich chocolates. Cover Girl’s Perfect Blend in black/brown does well for me. I like the blending sponge tip to make my liner look more subtle, and smooth without the harshness.

So, while in my captivity whoever shows up, will be able to look me eye to eye.
