I've never heard that (that it's not good for your lashes). I like waterproof mascara b/c it doesn't run if your eyes water at all, or if you opt to go swimming or something.

I wonder where I heard that...maybe I made it up. How hard is it to remove waterproof mascara at the end of the day? The regular stuff is already a pain in my rear.

I don't have any problems removing it, but I don't cake it on, either. :shrug:

I don't cake it on either, just one swipe on each eye. I always think I got it all, then hop in the shower, and end up drying my face on my nice white towels and finding two black semi-circles.

Are you sure it's the mascara or could it be your eyeliner? I apply a very light/fine line under my bottom lashes, and if I don't wipe my undereyes with a washcloth, I get the racoon thing going on from the eyeliner. :shrug:

It's the mascara, I only wear eyeliner once a month, if that. My usual makeup routine is just foundation (powder), blush, mascara, lip gloss. Sometimes eye shadow.

I dunno ... I've never had that problem. I've never had to use any special eye make-up remover products or extended eye area cleansing with my facial routine to get the stuff off. Maybe it's got something to do with it's non-waterproof type. :shrug:

Not having to fight w/ seperating my lashes or getting the clumps off my lashes is worth the 20 bones to me...of course when I have it I actually got hooked on it when I got a sample tube of it in a gift w/ purchase.

Try the Maybelline Lash Stylist. It doesn't have the bristles the normal mascara does. It is more of a comb for you lashes. I have not found it to clump and I have been using it for two weeks now. If you get it at CVS or RiteAid, keep your receipt, and if you don't like it, you are able to take it back for a full refund

Waterproof mascara suffocates lashes. Not a huge problem, but after years of use, you could end up with thin, delicate lashes.

Not here. I have been using Cover Girl waterproof mascara since 1981 and still have thick lashes. That's like saying putting on hair products suffocates your hair and you'll go bald IMO

Somebody please tell me, once and for all, what is the deal with waterproof mascara? It's not good for your eyelashes, right? And Pixie I bought the Pro LongLash and it clumps!

I'd be willing to bet that 90% of the clumping problems here stems from how you ladies use your mascara. My Pro LongLash NEVER clumps and I have lashes that EVERYTHING clumps in.

Before I get all "know-it-ally" on everyone, a real life make-up artist (no not a make-up counter girl) told me that the problem with mascara is that most of it is shot after a couple weeks because you get too much air into the tube and it starts to dry on the inside and thus gets thick and clumpy. What makes that happen worse than anything is what I can only explain as what you do to get the mascara on the wand the rapid up and down in and out (sex if you will?). You should instead very slowly twist the wand as you pull it out.

She and I have also noticed Carmen from What Not to Wear don't use high dollar mascara (she didn't use high dollar stuff on herself either) both use I think it's Maybeline the stuff in the green and pink tube.

That's what I do.

I had used waterproof mascara daily for at least a decade. It seemed like the thing to do so that I was always prepared should I end up crying, caught in the rain, etc. I was discussing makeup with an consultant at the Ulta store in Silver Spring and mentioned how I hated my thin, short eyelashes and needed recommendations for a mascara that would give me volume. He looked at my eyelashes and immediately knew I was a "waterproof" wearer. His recommendation was to immediately stop using waterproof mascara daily. He said the ingredients that make the mascara waterproof had a tendency to stunt lash growth and actually causes lashes to fall out prematurely. I stopped using waterproof about 4 months ago and I have noticed a considerable improvement in my natural lashes.

I sent you an email yesterday; have you seen it? Bad news. :sad:

No... Send it again... I was off yesterday and had approx 100 new e-mailers so my box may have been too full to take it.

My lashes are thick, but on the short side, so I was always afraid to use it b/c I'd heard it would make my eyelashes break or fall out . So I guess it's good I've only really used it once.

When my 9 year old cousin was little, he got bored one day and pulled out all his eyelashes.

I will use waterproof on days I know I absolutely need it... but I have noticed such a difference in my lashes that I vow to only use it on rare occasion. This really sux when I end up hanging with my sis... because it never seems to fail that we end up making each other laugh so hard at some point that we both end up in tears... and 99% of the time it's in a public setting where laughing, crying and smearing makeup aren't appropriate.

I only wear mascara because I wear other make-up. If that makes any sense. Powder or eyeshadow get on them and make them dusty and I need something to darken them up. I have dusty lashes. Both my boys have killer eyelashes too. It's almost a crime I had male children.

Joshua has awesome eyelashes too, extremely long (longest I've ever seen on a person, period) and thick. That, along with the huge blue eyes, is what is going to keep him in girlfriends for life.
