    Default mascara???

    What do you guys think looks better...mascara ONLY on the top lashes or on the top and bottom.I've tried both ways when I do my makeup for work and can't figure out what looks best.Any advice for how you do your mascara I would greatly appreciate it.Sorry for sounding so oblivious but I just can't get it right.

    For daytime, I only do the top. At work, top and bottom, plus fake lashes on top. Makeup needs to be more dramatic when you're doing stage work and working with dimmed lights such as those at the club. In theatre productions, even men wear eye makeup to make their features stand out more.

    I always do both...but I use a brown on the bottom and black on the top. Also make sure that you go over the bottom lashes with a lash comb to separate the bottom lashes for a darker, but "cleaner" look.

    I do both when performing, plus falsies on the top; liquid eyeliner on the top only. Maybe a little bit of light pencil liner on the bottom if I'm after a specific look. But always mascara on both levels.

    Here's a related question that I've never gotten a definitive answer for - curling the lashes: before or after applying mascara?

    P.S. My avatar's picture is probably not my BEST example of eye makeup techniques.

    Only the top.. I have blonde lashes and the fact that I am wearing mascara at all is dramatic enough and opens them up... but doing both closes them in and looks weird on me.. plus id probably rub it all over the place!

    Different methods look best on different people. Generally I only wear mascara (and eyeliner) on the top, but if I'm at a club with dim lighting, then I'll do a tiny dab of mascara on the bottom lashes too, and an eyeliner cat's eye in the outer corner.

    I have huge eyes and extremely large lashes...if I only do the top, my afce looks weird and unbalanced...I do both...people always ask if I wear fake eyelashes even when I dont wear mascara, so I just keep it going.

    I'm the opposite of soybeangirl--when my top and bottom lashes have mascara, they look a lot bigger than top alone. You do have to be careful, because you can get the "spider eyes" look, as Fieryfox put it, make sure you have a good mascara and only do one coat.

    And curl your lashes BEFORE mascara... doing so after can lead to breakage AND dent-y eyelashes. A heated eyelash curler (either a commercial one or your reg curler that's been blasted by the blow dryer), then mascara always works best for me.

    I used to do top and bottom but I got this mascara that tints your lashes over time and now I only do the top lashes.

    Thanks guys...I appreciate all your advice.I think what the problem was is that I would do my mascara before work and than throughout the night I would keep reapplying mascara to the top AND the bottom continously that by the time I left work I looked like Tammy Faye!I think now I'll just do the top and maybe lightly on the bottom and not touch if for the rest of the night.

    neutrogena clean lash tint I got it al Wal-mart (really works great) no it doesnt tint my skin and it will take a few times of usuing it to get really dark lashes. Good luck I hope you can find it, I discovered it by accident.

    best mascara is from lancome. definicils, you can really build your lashes with no clumps. First you apply going downward from root to tip. then you apply going upward from root to tip with a shaky zig-zag motion starting from inner lashes going to outer lashes for the finish. Also if you must curl your lashes, do it before applying mascara, since doing them ater rips them out

    I noticed the older a woman gets the more mascara she wears looks clownish!

    I can't wear coloured mascara, so i put on clear mascara...it still makes the lashes look longer imo..just not that dramatic colour.

    I used to do tops only. And it was just too much for me. Even when i was in my 20's. Don't know why. Guess my skin tone.

    At times i see Pamela Anderson on TV and wow...major mascara (and i'm sure false lashes) but she looks so much better with out it, younger.
