Okay, so I have serious camel lashes. And by that I mean they are straight as hell and stick directly into my eyes. Not hot. On a mission to resolve this issue I have spent a fortune on curling mascaras: Dior, Bobby Brown, MAC, Benefit, you get the gist. These mascaras were clumpy. They flaked. And, worst of all, they didn’t curl! I’ve even tried heated eyelash curlers, but my hands just aren’t steady enough to maneuver a hot piece of metal that close to my eyeball. Fear not girls, I have found a cure. The secret formula = one coat of Shiseido Mascara Base, a simple eyelash curler and then a coat of normal mascara.
