The last one was about layering mascara, this one’s about layering lashes. Caught this blurb on InStyle Magazine‘s twitter feed about Dianna Agron‘s (of Glee fame) lashes. Now only if they’d spill the beans on Naya Rivera’s luscious lashes! Ok, So Naya can’t live without fake eyelashes and uses those individual ones (more of her beauty secrets here) – those are such a pain in the @ss to put on!

Layering Mascara
21 MayJust had to share something that I did this morning that was a bit of a beauty breakthrough! I sometimes layer mascara to get both the best of volume and length (though I don’t think there’s one mascara out there that does that, yet) but I’ve been doing it the wrong way! I’ve always 1) lash conditioner 2) lengthening mascara 3) volumizing mascara. But walking past the mascara stand at Sephora, I caught a blurb about volumizing first, then lengthening. Is that why though my lashes look better layered, it still wasn’t WOW? Well my dear friends, I have to admit that they’re WOW today. Sephora was right. 1) Volumizing then 2) lengthening. Why? Because the volumizing mascara catches and magnifies every lash, then just build on lengthening the ends. And voila! WOW!
Recommended brushes and mascaras: Use the big barrel mascara heads for max volume, then a comb one for lengthening. Remember to work fast and don’t let dry between coats!
My faves, high and low are:
Fave high: Volumizing – Christian Dior DiorShow ($24usd)
Fave low: Volumizing – Cover Girl Lashblast
Fave (somewhat high b/c it’s not readily available): Lengthening – Majolica Majorca Lash Beautifying Mascara Frame Plus (available on ebay or adambeauty)
Fave low: Lengthening – Maybelline Lash Stylist discontinued and replaced with Maybelline Lash Stiletto Ultimate Length Mascara
Haven’t tried, but Cover Girl’s LashBlast Fusion and Maybelline’s Lash Stiletto Voluptuous Ultimate Length and Volume Mascara combines volume and length! Anyone try that? What are your fave mascaras and how do you layer?
