It suddenly occured to me while reading an article about ‘going without mascara’ that not everyone in the world has black eyelashes. I know its obvious if you think about it but somehow its not something that ever crossed my mind. When I was a teenager the one piece of makeup I couldnt be without (and probably the only piece I wore) was mascara. I probably didnt think why I was wearing it it was just something I did. I also bought eyelash curlers when I was about 12, never really worked out the point of them but they were very cool and ‘grown up’. Later on, other than going out for the evening mascara was not something I tended to wear. For one thing I couldnt really see the difference and on the other hand my lashes tended to brush against my glasses thus making irritating black marks on my vision (and getting waterproof mascara off glass is a pain). A couple of years ago I got interested in coloured mascara, maybe pink or turquoise I thought but settled for the purple. This alas was not visible against my dark lashes.
I guess im probably lucky with my lashes (maybe it balances out my frizzy hair) but it certainly got me thinking and also opened my eyes to the wide range of products there are available for eyelashes. Moisturisers? Conditioners? I guess theres a whole load I dont know about the beauty world
p.s. Hopefully I’ll get pictures working on here again soon
