      Doing the the waterproof of your choose again on top usually stops the transfer

      To then seal it again with another waterproof to stop transfer or your lashes' curles falling if you have that problem

      Try Maybelline The Colossal Cat Eyes Volum' Express waterproof mascara! I have lashes exactly like yours and this is the only one that holds my curl. I do two layers of it 1-2 minutes apart and it works wonders! The L'Oréal one that everyone recommends definitely doesn't work for me either.

      Careful when you're pulsing the curler, it can yank your lashes out. What I find works good is pressing down lightly, opens gently lift it a tiny bit up and gently clamp it down again closer to the ends

    I have only ever focused on eyelashes and mascara. That’s my thing, the way brows are for others. So I know ALLLL about mascaras, eyelashes, and this specific problem. Here are my tips:
    1. Your eyelashes have to be DRY. If you get any oil or grease or water on them, curling them will be a waste of time because they’ll go flat again. So no liquid liners, you can’t even do this stuff in a steamy bathroom. DRY.
    2. When curling your lashes (and you HAVE to curl them if they’re straight, no “curling mascara” will ever do shit trust me), pump like she said. Start at the base, then clamp, clamp, clamp, gently towards the tips as you roll your wrist out and up and back into your lid. That’s how you get the natural curve. Repeat this 2-3 times to soften the curl.
    3. You MUST use a waterproof mascara, just like she said. I personally swear by Maybelline Falsies. There is a non waterproof version of this mascara, and if you buy it you will instantly know because your lashes will go straight immediately. Mascara is wet. Refer to step 1 above. You cannot put wet product onto straight hair (whether head hair or eyelash hair) and expect it to curl like it does for Afro hair. We straight haired people have to use products that are “dry” or that have hold technology. Only waterproof mascaras do this.
    4. Remove waterproof mascara with OIL. Olive oil, jojoba oil, or, ideally, castor oil (will explain why in a second). Waterproof mascaras are not water based and water alone or water make up wipes will not do anything. Only oil works for these! I pour a bit into my fingertips and put them directly onto my closed lids. I dab it in and slowly start to smear it all off, gently rubbing my eyes with my fingertips. It should now swipe right off with a cotton pad, tissue, whatever. Castor oil has been used by Eastern European women to grow their lashes (and hair) for centuries. It’s the key ingredient in many of the lash serums. If you religiously use it to remove your waterproof mascara you will not only remove mascara more successfully/with ease, you will also grow your lashes thicker and longer over time.
    5. You need to wash your face after because the oil residue can make you break out. You might also end up with the odd sty or a clogged eyelash pore as your lids get used to the grease. Castor oil is a heavier oil so if you’re having issues with it, try olive oil (or jojoba, which is the lightest of the three and used for skin care)
    I’ve been using the above techniques for 15 years and I swear by them.

    • @Kaththee
      @Kaththee 3 года назад +19

      Have you ever used the blow dryer to heat your eyelash curler? Using my thumb and forefinger I hold and cover the edges of the curler (part that touches my face) so the heat can't get to that section and then I turn the blow dryer on high heat and heat it up for a few seconds which is as long as my fingers can't stand it. Then I used it on one eye and then go back heat it again for the second eye. I have seen makeup artist use a lighter which scares me but I have never seen anyone else use the blow-dryer technique. It gives me a really nice curl. I started doing it because while I like heated lash curlers they die too fast to be economical. I use Almay Waterproof Wipes (like it never happened) to get my mascara off.

    • @MrJamPolio

      I'd even say some of those youtubers are narcissistic. Those beauty gurus aren't selling you techniques, they're selling you their personality, in exchange for entertainment, some more than others. It's kind of like Britney Spears. People say she can't sing live, (although thats debatable) but she's an excellent performer and people love watching her. It's kinda the same with James Charles, Jeffree Star, and Tati. There's only so much you can teach before you reach the pinnacle, and that's why so many of them branch off and do other things. Because your personality is something nobody can take away from you, there are thousands of makeup artists, but it's what sets you apart is what matters. It will either make or break you and that will be what people remember you by. What's great about Alexandra is that she isn't trying to follow the typical beauty vlogger mold, which is often, loud, extroverted, and flamboyant. She's carving her own path, we need voices like this!

      I use the Niko Extra Sculpt Waterproof mascara. It's best after a few weeks being open (the formula "hardens" a little and becomes more malleable). All I do is curl my lashes and use this mascara and
      1. They stay up all day
      2. Barely get any fallout
      3. They look like falsies
      🥰
      I'm also trying the blue one from essence... Extra something (blue tube with pink/red writing). It's a bit dried up and omg it's so good used in conjunction with the Kiko one! Huge recommend

      I use two for a totally different reason.

    My lashes are exactly the same, though a bit longer.
    My trick (because I really don´t like wearing waterproof mascara every single day) is to curl EXACTLY like you curled, pumping from the base to the roots until they are literally a curl. Then I apply the LIGHTEST layer of mascara (even lighter than the one you did with the waterproof mascara) and let it dry. This super light layer ensures that my lashes don´t go back to straight, and the curl "relaxes" just enough to look natural. After it´s dried I apply as many layers as I want (not as light as the initial layer), until I get the volume and length I desire.
    Depending on the mascara and the weather (humidity) my lashes will fall a bit during the day, but they usually hold the curl pretty well.

The first one is good for holding a curl for a long time and lots of volume and length, with minimal clumping. The second mascara is good for non-clumpy precise lash separation and length that gives a neat look to lashes- very useful for no make-up/ natural make-up. Maybe give these a try! ☺️

      You gotta wait until the waterproof mascara is dry but NOT fully dry. This way it makes it smoother to apply the mascara over the waterproof mascara and you avoid that dry texture feeling. I actually taught myself this trick when I was 18 years old and it really works. It also makes it easier for the mascara to be removed because it’s not just all waterproof mascara on your lashes.

    I have a similar problem, I have thickish lashes but dead straight. I've even had a couple of lash lifts and it never stays - I do something similar: one thin coat of waterproof after curling in between my makeup (before liquid liner if I am doing that) so any powder fall out stays on the lashes and this also helps make it set. Then go in with a thick volumising mascara and one final final step where I "tip dip" to add length, I take the wand and push and flick on the tips of the lashes.

      Not a stupid question at all! You’re correct, the second mascara was for volume and length. What matters most when it comes to volume and length is the wand. Technically, if you have a banger mascara, it can do everything you want so long as you dip different spoolies in it for specific uses.

    I used to use waterproof mascara religiously when I was younger (it looked bomb), but as I got older I realised waterproof mascara causes me to be vigorously rub & tug at my skin because it’s so tough. I only wear waterproof mascara when needed now, like if I know I’m going to cry or get my lashes wet.
    Here’s my hacks for non-waterproof mascara application :
    1. Use eye sleeping mask and make sure your eyelashes are up against the eye mask and sleep. (Make sure it isn’t silk because your eyelashes are more likely to slip down/around while you move around in your sleep)
    2. Use heated eyelash curler
    3. Optional : Use eyelash primer if you want it to be thick & darker (this will be harder to take off than if you were to just use mascara) warning : more likely to be clumpy.
    4. Use two mascara’s. Use first mascara (for hold if yours don’t hold well or for colour and thickness) don’t care about clumps ; use second mascara straight away (lengthening, volumising) to comb through the lashes and clumps
    Bonus : use eyelash serum to lengthen and grow your eyelashes (:
    Let me know if any of these hacks worked for any of you, thanks!

      Esp, if you are going for a no makeup, makeup look right?

    Curious: Wouldn't just applying a second coat of the same mascara once it's dry do the same thing? (and maybe hold even better?)

      I was wondering the same thing! Why does it have to be two different kinds?

      Wondering the same... everyone is all thanks for getting straight to the point yet she doesn’t explain at all WHY two different mascaras are needed. Why not just two coats of waterproof? That’s how you get longer lashes is to do a coat let it dry then go in with a 2nd you can even do a 3rd if you want them really long.

      That's EXACTLY what I was thinking.

      If it's a waterproof mascara, it will become clumpy. The slightly wet mascara will lengthen the tips of the lashes, but you need to be very careful not to apply the second mascara to the roots or it will ruin everything. P.S. I have straight lashes like her.

    Life changing. Ok, that’s a bit dramatic. But, seriously, this changed my eyelash game.

      I dont know but I've been doing it for years and it is better. I'm thinking maybe bc different formulas react differently ?

      Was thinking the same. No offense but it seems like it's the waterproof mascara keeping the lashes up 🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️
