Somewhere along the way, cosmetic companies have convinced women that thin eyelashes are ugly, and men would like them much better if ....
Cosmetic companies have convinced us also that my smile lines are a fault.
Diet companies have convinced me that men would like me more if I was less curvy and more thin.
Shampoo ads have convinced me that no man would ever want to be with me since I have short hair that I can't stupidly toss around when I giggle at every inane thing that is said to me.
My teeth aren't white enough, my glasses are a turn off, my porcelain skin is "out"....
Someone created this monster, mascara and skimpy eyelashes are the least of my worries.
And why is it that men have the best lashes out there ??? !!! I envy my son's beautiful long dark lashes.
stop it.
you do not...
wait.
maybe you do.
when i have long hair and go get it cut
the women always say....
"oh my god we want your hair"
"why are you cutting off all those beautiful curls"
"do you know what some of us women go through to get wavy curly hair"
eyelashes? not so much talked about when i go get dolled up.
I find my wife to be beautiful with or without makeup, so I don't really understand what all the fuss is about either.
I feel the same way about my girlfriend. She uses minimal amounts of make up to begin it...says it feels more "comfortable".

Bit late to the thread. But I wear mascara everyday. For me it has been an age thing. The more knackered I look the more touching up I feel I need. Never bothered at all in my 20's now in my 40's I get my eyebrows waxed, wear mascara, tinted moisturiser and a bit of blusher every day. I think it makes me look slightly more awake than my normal sleepy look.
Anyhow, that's just me, it probably makes no different but it makes me feel a little better.
Any of the women old enough to remember the phase in the 80s when you'd use a blue eye pencil on the inside of the lashes on your lower eyelid? And then within a few hours you'd be picking a wad of blue goo out of the inner corner of your eyes.
You may not compliment a woman on her eyelashes but hopefully you have complimented some about their eyes. Eyelashes define the eye (can open the eye, make the eyes look bigger, make them stand out more, etc.) and, whilst you may not 'notice' the mascara, I'm sure you notice the difference without!
I don't know... my wife has a cool shade of green eyes... I like her eyes... but to me they look the same with or without mascara on. I understand that eyeliner and stuff can draw your attention to the eyes (and bring out color, etc), but I can't see what mascara brings to the table.
If she has a cool shade of eye color without mascara, she doesn't need mascara!

Yeah. That was hot.
hehehhehehe... I started high school in 91 and for all the "cool" senior girls it was unifrom...along with the bleached blonde spiral perms!
As for me I love my mascara, I have quite long eyelashes but I like how it thickens them up and detracts from the bags under my eyes. Which is great when I finish work at 5am and have to do the school run before I get to go to bed. Mascara, mineral powder and lip gloss...yippee ready to go.
But I will add...it must be waterproof, especially when wearing contacts.
I'll never understand lots of things... and yes mascara is one of them. Also those big ear lobe piercings... never understand them... mind you it took me until i was about 31 to work out how glue didnt turn into glue when it was still in the tube...
and how can 103 x 0 = 0???? if i have a 103 bananas and I multiply it by zero i still have 103 bananas
I'll also never understand algebra.
I'll also never understand any of that PJ Da Kid's posts... him dat talk like dis n dat.
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

How does glue not turn into glue?
glue only turn to glue upon contact with oxygen... that way the moisture in the glue evaporates and it hardens.

also, i can't understand how a ship stays upright... and who was the first person to discover milk came out of a cow and what did they think they were doing at the time?

the water the ship is sitting in weighs more than the ship.
something like that.
it's all about displacement.

My eye makeup has stayed the same since the late 70's. It sounds weird but it is purple and green :shock:
violets show off green eyes way cool, but again light on everything to enhance not overpower.
I think it is like hair, whatever style you wore in your mid to late 20's you will wear most of your life and the same with make-up. We don't age much past 25 in this department Well unless you are a hip and trendy kind of chick/dude

Born in Chicagoland and been here my entire life.
Nestor Cabonell, he's claims not to be wearing eyeliner. says it's natural, who the hell didn't watch Lost?
