Makeup Myth: No Mascara on Lower Lashes

Girls are told from a young age not to apply mascara to lower lashes for a multitude of reasons: “It’ll cast a shadow on your face”, “your makeup will look too heavy”, “it makes lower lashes look spidery and gross”. Not so! Using a quality mascara, lower lash mascara is usable in a number of looks. In fact, for smoky eyes it’s a necessity.

The same thing goes for eyeliner on the lower lash line – cosmetics counter know-it-alls are constantly preaching that lining the lower lid will make your eyes look smaller. In truth, it actually makes the eye look bigger when done right. Don’t listen to the haters, girls – wear what looks good on ya!
