The Best Mascara

The Best Mascara

This is not a paid ad, but an ode to a mascara that: doesn't leave 'panda eyes', that separates each lash avoiding the dreaded clumped look and that washes off without any product... Thank you Kevyn Aucoin. Thank you to my friend Amy for introducing us. We're in love and I hope we never part. I hope this helps you - I've never had a great relationship with the stuff, it would always leave black flecks above my eyelids (I had one girl comment on it at work, which suddenly made me feel very exposed) and my mascara would certainly 'panda out' below my eyes after 10-12 hour days.

So, dear readers, what beauty products do you swear by?
