Hi A.C.

Have you tried Chanel Exceptionnel? It’s pricey and the brush is a little tricky but hands down it’s the best for the false lash look.

My biggest mascara gripe as i search for my perfect mascara is all these ads that it is clearly evident the models have false eyelashes on and give the impression that is what your lashes will look like if you use it. Kinda like the hair product commercials from pantene, those models hair does not look that good using Pantene products! Great Lash doesn’t work for me, I finally purchased MAC zoom and I like it as a lengthener but I used l’oreal Voluminous before to actually make my lashes look thicker. Several have recommended Dior Show for the false eyelash look I’m looking for. Any feedback?

I somehow have managed to get my eyelashes to curl with any mascara, with any wand type.

I have no fear of getting really really really close to my eye so I just get straight down to the lash line, and sweep straight up while wiggiling the brush.
Somehow this makes my lashes super thick, well seperated, and curled.

My two gripes:
1. My lashes never match, one looks really good, and the other will look okay but sort of wonky.
2. I’ve had 2 occasions recently where my hand twitches while I’m curling and I rip out a bunch of lashes. Talk about painful!!

I use the sephora lash curler, sonia kashuk eyelash comb (THE best!) and a variety of mascaras, my standbys are MUFE Smoky Lash by itself or BadGal layered with other mascaras.

Karen,
I haven’t tried Exceptionnel yet cause its brush looks a bit scary but will do, thanks for the advice!
