If the point is to look like you’re wearing no makeup, what
should the deal be with lashes? Your goal is long, defined and clean lashes
that still read as natural. There are a couple of lash tints on the market and
while they look the most natural, the final look is lackluster (and for a girl
who strives for subdued, that’s saying a lot).
Choose mascara that is lengthening or defining, and that
doesn’t clump. Newer mascaras with rubber wands are great at creating the right
effect, and drugstore brands provide plenty of options. Apply just a couple of coats to the top lashes only, from the root all the way to the tips. If
you need to, separate lashes some more with an eyelash comb.
If your coloring is on the lighter side, try dark brown instead of black. Some
makeup artists shun brown mascaras but unless your eyebrows are very dark,
brown is much better at achieving a natural look.
Don't forget to change your mascara every 6 months or sooner
if it starts to dry up and clump (another reason to use cheaper drugstore brands).
