Girly-Girl Series: Eyelashes

April 6th, 2008 · 9 Comments

Okay, so today we are going to cover eyelashes and how to properly apply mascara. I had to cut out some things because the damned thing was too long.

I cut out the following:

1. Have dramatic eyes OR lips; never both.

2. If you have thin eyelashes, always use an eyeliner. We will cover eyeliner later.

3. I am sure something else.

Guys, this is going to be TERRIBLY boring for you, so I recommend not watching it unless you are a cross-dresser and need tips.

So, here’s the video!

    Re: Lower lash eyeliner — due to my high school days as a theater geek, I became surprisingly proficient in eyelining myself (albeit not the liquid stuff). I always wonder if I should include this skill set on my resume…

    Almost every guy I know thinks eyeliner is sexy, yet many women think of it as something “slutty” or at least “80’s.”

    When will women learn? :)

    Ok, here is the deal. I have really long mascara, do I still need to use any and what kind do you suggest? I would probably only use it for when I get fancied up.

    I hope Fab is taking notes…

    I don’t think my little stubs will even fit in the eyelash curler anymore! LOL I never thought of using hairspray on a toothbrush! I used to use a tiny dab of mousse or gel on a brow brush. Which really amounts to the same thing. Unfortunately for me, I inherited the “surprised” look from my mom. Thin brows, highly arched. I don’t have much hair for brows and never did. I only have to pluck a tiny bit every few months now. I do have to darken them a little if I really want them to look nice. Most people have no clue how to do that either. It’s sad. Great video! Someone who know nada will learn a lot from you.

    BTW… I am your purse expert. Email me. We’ll talk designer bags.

    Unfortunately, I still cannot view video on my blackberry. However, maybe my new Zune will help me catch up with people’s vlogs, assuming I can subscribe to just video from the blogs.

    Also, I would think a cross-dresser needing good tips might find someone like Eliot Spitzer. I hear he tips well.

    Shiny:

    Um…

    Ajooja:

    Yes, but only if applied properly. The whole point is to pop the eyelashes. Most guys I know like the natural look. Of course, even though they THINK that means no makeup, that’s not what it truly means. :-)

    Robin:

    Don’t get a lengthening one. Let me take a look and make a recommendation. Since funds are low, I need to recommend one from the regular store. Will write you on it.

    Karl:

    Is that the point at which you turned off the video? :-)

    Dmarks:

    Isn’t that a silly sport? I never understood it, but it looks hard.

    Winter, good point.

    I guess I will need to take a look and see what to do about short eyelashes and curling them. Unless you put on single eyelashes, which I would imagine is a total pain in the ass.
    Would you be willing to guest post on purses?


    Whall:

    What I actually hear is that you want to cross-dress for Halloween, so I can come down and do your makeup.

    I got your back on the purses. I even have pics! (I am such a purse whore.)
