Cheap Beauty...A ? for those of the femme persuation.

Well, I can honestly say don't use the Hardcandy Lash Primer. It flakes and irritated my eyes. I felt like stuff was in them all day, e the fibers just got into my eyes. I finally removed all my eye makeup and reapplied without it. I bought a pricier primer at Sephora, it was expensive, 22 dollars for it, but I loved it. (can't remember the name)No irritation. I think when it comes to something like that, it's probably better to go with the pricier ones.

I recently read a book called "looking younger'' . It went into great detail on how makeup artists get their models lashes so thick, without the primer. She said that you pull out the wand, wipe off excess on the rim and then dab on a soft cloth, not to worry there is plenty left on the wand. Place it at the roots of your eyelashes and wiggle it back and forth as you stroke out. Let that thin coat dry for two to three mins. It is imperative for it to dry completely and that you dab off the wand to get a thin coat, or the next layer will clump terribly. Then repeat for a total of three coats. I have not tried this yet either, but I am going to and see if it works like she says......
