Helloo!

My eyelashes grow downwards for some strange reason, so when I wear mascara, I have to curl it. But the mascara weighs the lashes down, so the curl'll be gone is a few minutes of putting mascara on. Does anyone have any idea to how I can use mascara and keep my lashes upwards?

Ta!

I have this same problem. What I have to do is curl them then put mascara on and curl them, then put mascara on again! Sounds like a lot of trouble but this helps mine. HTH!

oh i have the same problem, yes i curl them first too. and some mascarras reall wear them down. but the MaxFactor Masterpiece doesnt, also the BeYu Model Mascarra, or just clear gel mascarra. i also curl them not only at the roots, i press along all the lashes (from root to tip, in an opening the door movement) until the end so they get curly. then i put mascarra. but i had to try many first, since most wear the lashes down.

I just use waterproof mascara....it's better at holding a curl. I use max factor's 2000 calorie aqualash and it holds a curl for forever. When I used to stay over at my ex's dorm room and live there for the weekend, the mascara lasted that long! even after taking showers if I'm careful to avoid my face.

make sure you use a curling mascara!

I agree w/waterproof mascaras

Hi,

Also make sure you apply the mascara from the back/outside of the lashes in an upward motion.

Take a look at this thread.. This tip CHANGED MY LIFE lol
Neat mascara trick

Thanks for the tips! I use masterpiece mascara, and it's one of the better ones that i've tried, it doesn't weigh my lashees down as much. I'll try the waterproof mascara and the hairdrying thing next weekend!

try shu umeura eyelash curler, it works wonders!

I used to have this problem! It sucks! It still happens from time to time, and I even have them grow straight out too! I've learned by using a spoolie daily helps. Also, I use the spoolie before applying my mascara primer, then I curl, and then apply mascara. For me, CG Lash Exact (or Volume LE) works the best.

i agree. use a curler, then apply on a curling mascara!

Some mascaras work better than others, but usually waterproof versions hold curls better. Also, heat the lashcurler up with your blowdryer, so it's just warm enough to safely touch your skin and curl a couple of times, moving up the lash.

I have a few little ones that hang farther down then my other lashes and jet out. I cut them. dont know if its really safe but I do it anyways lol
