Mascara that works

image

Here’s my November favourites.

Let me clarify that I’m not an expert. The 2 year MAC certified course I completed through LISOF allows me to speak from a “qualified” point of view, even though I believe the route to any sort of qualification is through personal development & practice.

Not that I’m there yet but if you know everything everyone else knows backwards, on a steady path of mastering your trade - who can tell you anything different?

I love finding new products or being surprised by old ones. The cutest packaging, a promising poster featuring all Zooey Deschanel’s beauty or whoever else cut the endorsement deal assuring that you too can look as good with the help of this product.

Mascara’s my makeup must have. It emphasizes the first thing people notice. I like the natural look, a good BB cream, organic features and a healthy glow.

If you’re running late or just feeling sweaty out and about, take it all off and put the mascara on. I’ve tested out my fair share of brands, here’s a few that I swear by:

  • Chanel Inimitable Intense

PROS No clumps, great building ability, natural looking lashes, single lash definition, full day wearability

CONS Gradual falling flakes,
