MASCARAS

Welcome to That Weird Girl Next Door!

Hello my lovelies! 
Ever wondered why mascaras have been heart of make-up? No? Oh stop being inconsiderate! Well mascaras have been in use from as early as the Egyptian times but got revolutionized in the 1960s. Its main job is to enhance those gorgeous eyes of yours by making your lashes appear thicker, longer and much more defined. And since nude eyes are back in fashion, I had to write about the mascaras!

From as long as I have seen mascara in work, I have not found a single women using a caked or a cream one (shocker but yes they exist), and have only seen and used the liquid ones. I use Maybelline falsies volum express and Lakme` Eyeconic.  It would have been an injustice if I hadn't reviewed these items since the sole purpose was to help you guys pick one that suits you. Let me tell which of these two mascaras are the pieces of art that would grace your make-up kit. So...let's start!

• Maybelline FEX Falsies Volum Express                                                          475 INR

 If you know me, Maybelline is my favorite brand and it is something I worship with all my heart, however that same heavy heart I would say this one disappointed me a tad bit. The Falsies mascara was on my bucket list since forever and I finally bought it a while go. Since I already have big lashes, I would say this product is not really for me. The sole purpose of this mascara is (like the name suggests) to make your lashes appear thicker and as if you were wearing false lashes. My eyes look too dramatic in this but for all those who have real short lashes, this is for them.

Here's what I liked:

1. It makes your lashes look super long, heavy and enhanced
2. The wand is pretty great and easily lifts your lashes in a single coat
3. It holds the curl and is a good all-rounder
4. It basically gives you cat eyes, so now you don't have to stress on the liner for that.
5. It is long lasting
6. I love the packaging and the bottle. It is very cute.

Here's what I definitely did not like:

1. It clumps! It makes your lashes actually heavy.
2. If you do not touch your lashes much then you are good to go but if you are a fidget like me then this will smudge a little and you would need a wet wipe to save you
3. It does get flaky, no denying that
4. It makes the lashes hard and sort of unpleasant to touch

I would only recommend this product to those who have real small lashes, if you don't, do not waste your money on it however it does give your eyes an enhanced look and make them look as if you are wearing false lashes. You can buy it on Amazon by clicking here.

• Lakme` Eyeconic Curling Mascara                                                                 267 INR

Frankly, I have never used much of the Lakme` products but the peach moisturizers that sometimes my mum or aunt would get for me. I was going to actually buy a Maybelline mascara but it was unavailable at that moment and I bought this one instead. I am do glad I did! The eyeconic mascara was my first ever mascara and I love it to the moon and back. This makes my lashes look exactly how I want them, neither too dramatic nor invisible.

Here's what I like about it:

1. The quantity is more and the price is less
2. It works great on my lashes and curls them
3. It lasts long and is waterproof and boy do I have to struggle with the cotton bud to actually remove it
4. It does not smudge ever when I rub my eyes
5. It gives the lashes a nice curl (though not as much as the Maybelline falsies)
6. It makes the lashes look defined and lasts forever (speaking from experience, 6 hours at a stretch)
7. It is very light and it would not clamp nor would you feel like you are even wearing a mascara

Here's what I did not like about it:

1. It is only semi-dramatic and does not curl the lashes too well, especially if you have short lashes (I know this because I tried it on my mum and it had nil effect)
2. You have to apply at least two coats to enhance your lashes
3.  Does not provide much volume

This is the ideal mascara for me because my lashes being already long are good with just one brush and I will recommend this to every girl who has slightly long lashes. To the ones who have short lashes, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT buy this product since it would not do a thing to your lashes, go for a Maybelline one instead. You can buy it on Amazon by clicking here. 

Hope this post was helpful. I would love to hear what you think.

Identify Your Type!

Welcome To That Weird Girl Next Door

Hello my lovelies! 
We all have days where we turn to YouTube seeking a heavenly refuge to save us from our failing-miserably-at-eye makeup problem but after spending an hour scrolling through a number of videos we end up watching how to say 'I Love You' to our cat. In this post, I will try to be precise and set up the basic ground for you to at least identify your eyes before you start experimenting on it. So...let's start!

FIND YOUR EYE TYPE

• Wide Set Eyes: These types of eyes have a 'young'ish  look and strong make-up suit it best. The main aim for your eyes is to give it an illusion of being closer, so you do not have to hesitate before applying a good amount of make-up at the outer corner. Apply liner on the inner eye corners. For the eye shadow, I would suggest you to use the ones in metallic like golden, black, turquoise. You can experiment more colors but keep in mind that brighter colors make your eyes look big however dark shades give an illusion of your eyes being small.
• Close Set Eyes: These eyes have a sexy, sultry appeal and look great with winged liner. If you have close set eyes then you smoky eyes were especially invented for you and so were intense colors. You can use highlighter just below the outer corners of lower lashes to make your eyes look more dramatic.
• Asian Eyes: These eyes tend to have a small lid and deep shades of eye shadow would look appealing on it. Start by applying eyeliner as close as possible to the lash base. Applying mascara would double the charm.
