It's rare for me not to have mascara on. It's the only way to tell I really do have eyelashes.
Know how you get asked what beauty item will you want if stranded on a deserted island?
Mine would be mascara. Second would be a bottle of Neutrogena Healthy Skin moisturizer.
There was a product out years ago that I cannot find in the last 15 years. It was sold at Wallmart called Rain Tree.
Very few woman wore makeup where I worked, for various reasons. When I found this product it was less then a month before coworkers wanted to know what I was using. It gave my face a shine like a baby's butt, skin as soft as melting butter.
Now about this permanent makeup. I had the semi permanent makeup eye liner and eyebrows done for a fortune and it only lasts about 2 years. My friends went to the unlicensed and unregulated Asian shops and theres lasts forever. I was afraid of infection etc. but on second thought should have taken a chance. The Asian Shops mix and match colors to bring out the undertones in the eye color, some had shades of blue on the bottom lashes that made the white of the eye look very white with perhaps the top lid lined with flecks of gold to make the eye color itself dance in the light.
Options included permanent blush and lipstick, the lips were defined as one would would with a lip liner and filled in. No Botox needed as they could give you a larger or smaller lip shape. Eye brows were shaped perfectly and most Asians just shaved the brows, sounds odd but one would have to be nose to nose with a woman before you could tell. Most of the Woman shaved their intire face and applied antibiotic jell or cream, took off the dead cells and fine fuzz, make up if they used it just glided on.
Cost back then was $100.00 for the eye lining $100.00 for the eye brows, I never checked into what the charge for blush or lips was.
Silly me, I was afraid of the legal implications of using the Asian method as it was and is illegal, done in someones kitchen, and or bathroom. I kick myself today as when I run into someone non Asian that took a chance way back 20 or more years ago, except for gravity they have not changed one bit. Time has stood almost still for these woman who in their 60+ years and do little more then shave their face every 2-3 days, slap on the antibiotic cream and a moisturiser only thing they use is a bit of mascara. OH yes they use sun block as people with tattoos must do to keep them from fading no matter where on the exposed body they may be.
This eyelash stuff is interesting, the cost is outside my ball park $140.00 for a tiny bottle---OMG.
