How to make your eyelashes look like whoa

I wear a lot of mascara.  I know this, and I am not ashamed.  In fact, I frequently tell people that I use Tammy Faye Baker as my mascara inspiration. 

I'm trying to get to a point where I feel confident enough to wear hats like this.  I'm not there yet.

But despite the fact that I wear enough mascara to tar a small driveway, I still get a lot of compliments on my eyelashes from random people, like my dental hygienist, a woman in the waiting room after I got my wisdom teeth out, and a fellow customer at Target.  So now, I want to share my secrets with the masses.

I don't buy expensive mascara.  This is because you're supposed to change your mascara every 2 to 3 months and I don't have enough money to be dropping $30 on mascara six times a year.  That's just crazy.  I buy Maybelline.  Maybelline makes the mascara that comes in the green and pink tube, which has consistently gotten beauty awards for like a million years.  So I figure that means the rest of their mascara is good too.

I first use Maybelline Falsies Black Drama.  I put on two coats with the scooped side facing towards my eye, then do one coat with the scoop facing out, in order to curl my lashes a bit.  Black Drama is really black and can be kind of messy so be careful.

Girl, this is gonna make your lashes look fierce!
Now comes my secret trick.  I use another mascara to add length.  I put on one to two coats of Maybelline Stilletto Very Black.  This stretches the length of my eyelashes so far that I end up usually blinking mascara onto the my brow bone.  That's what you want people.  Lashes so long that they reach nearly to your eyebrows.  

More mascara!  That's how you complete the Tammy Faye Baker look.

And now you have amazing eyelashes that will make other people jealous!  Be prepared to answer a lot of questions about where you buy your fake eyelashes from and then wow people with the truth.  You're gonna get that a lot.

  1. Is it such a good idea to share this great secret? You always look great to me anyway. But I wear glasses and don't want to keep bushing the lens everytime i blink. Oh, what should I do?
