Unless you have really thin or light colored lashes, I don't think it looks "wierd". I guarantee 90% of people can't tell. (just my 2 cents)

I ussually wear mascara with eyeshadow and eyeliner, but I wear NO makeup every other day (i rub my face alot when I'm stressed) so I think my lashes are fine.

You don't *need* to wear it or be insecure because you don't have it on - its just mascara.

I feel stupid just wearing mascara and not curling my lashes bc if I don't, you can see how obviously crappy they are lol.

I do have very thick dark lashes so I guess maybe that's why I dont feel so naked with the tightlining and nude eyeshadows alone.

Here's a way to curl your lashes with less damage:

You can also bend them upwards with your finger after applying mascara ( you'll get mascara on your hands, but your lashes will bend upward)

Also to help your lashes "get healthier" you can blend in a face/eye cream into them before going to bed, just don't get any in your eyes. I've been doing this for a month or so and I can tell that my lashes are denser and prettier when I have no makeup.

Something that I do to give my lashes a break is just sweep mineral eyeliner on them. It is really pigmented and looks more polished than no mascara. This allows them to breathe but be colored at the same time. It works for me but then again, my lashes are light.

Same here.
The lashes tend to disappear if the rest of the eye is dressed up.

Once in a while I may be rushing and forget to apply it...but I always feel naked!
