My first love, makeup-wise, is with mascara. I wasn’t born with long, thick lashes. Mine were of average length, with not much thickness, and without any hint of a curl. And when I started wearing makeup in University, mascara was the one thing I would always put on. Blush and lipstick, I didn’t bother much with. But mascara is a must. Having thicker and longer lashes made me (coughs) ‘naturally’ better looking. (I was at that stage when I wanted people to think the ‘Is she or is she not wearing any makeup’ question.) My eyes look bigger with it on. It’s an illusion, granted, but an illusion I love.
