I've tried every makeup trick in the book--I can't believe I didn't know about this!
I hate false eyelashes and don't use them. My lashes used to be thick and full, but with age are no longer so. I never liked mascara with fibers in them because the fibers got into my eyes. This stuff is really different! I have tried every mascara ever made and this kit is the best and most natural look, hands down. It comes with a lush mascara in addition to the gel and fiber tubes. The gold mascara is very good; comes with an hourglass shaped brush, and is a good consistency. It does not irritate my very sensitive eyes. That said, I think I prefer the look without using the mascara first.
I curl my lashes and then hold both the gel and fiber tubes in my hand. I use the gel like a mascara, but mostly on the tips of the lashes (it goes on and covers like a mascara). I do this on one eye (top lash) and immediately follow with the fiber. I brush that onto the tips and it immediately lengthens and fills in. I repeat this step on the lower lash, then on the other upper and lower lashes, one at a time. I wait until this "sets" and brush the lashes carefully with the included spiral brush. I find that this one coat is enough for me, and follow it with a coat of the gel, on all lashes, to seal the fibers in. I do not find fibers in my eyes or on my face.
The only issue I run into is when the gel gets onto my lid or other surface. I use a makeup remover pen to take it off, as just a Q-tip doesn't really get it off--it is pretty "permanent". However, at night, my makeup remover takes it all off easily in the shower with no remaining mess or raccoon eyes. My eyes don't get puffy or red at night from irritation, which is a miracle!
I can't believe I didn't know about this! I know there are many different brands of this, but I like that it is from a company here in the US. I needed a replacement and they instantly shipped one. I also found their communication friendly and instant...no waiting for time zones. I also like that the fibers are from tea rather than questionable materials. Things that go that close to my eye worry me. If anyone's eyes could be irritated, it would be mine...and they're not!
