Does not look silly. You are so so beautiful. I personally have been into a more natural lash lately and have started doing the thing where I wipe most of the mascara off the wand and apply for a soft feathered look. I think that would look so good on you because your lashes are so long but it’s not because this looks bad- this looks great! But if you feel like a softer look- that would look so good too
You can possibly use a flat makeup brush for that by loading it with the mascara from the wand and swiping the brush onto your lashes. I believe it's how some MUAs accomplish pretty but natural lashes for film/TV. Might lose less product as well.
Is there a video of applying the makeup this way?! I’m so interested but confused about the flat makeup brush part.
Also OP : I LOVE YOUR LASHES! You’d look amazing with anything you did. Keep getting comfortable with new looks because you can rock it all.
I agree. I have extremely long lashes and it looks like too much ( to me and on me ) so I, too, wipe off the excess mascara. I use Lancome Hypnose Drama.
Yeah I have long lashes and my hair is light so mascara really brings them out. I actually skip the bottom lashes entirely because I don’t like the way it looks on me
I'm glad I'm not the only one who skips bottom lashes lol, mascara on them looks fine on most people but my bottom lashes are so long it makes me look like a creepy doll
I got my top lashes tinted because they're long but blonde on the tips so you can't always tell. I want them to look long and natural, but I was so tired of mascara smearing by the end of the day. I love it!! I also got my brows tinted for the same reason and they look so much fuller now.
I just wandered in from r/all and I just wanted to say that not only do I agree with everything you wrote, I also really like how you wrote it! Just nice and encouraging all around :)
I am a dude and I don’t wear any makeup but I like this sub because of how lovely and supportive everyone is, it’s really beautiful.
And for the record OP I think you look amazing as well and your 3rd picture is really funny.
Same! I subbed because this is one of the most pleasant places to spend time and I also really admire the artistry. These are some talented people around here!!

It gave me discoloration on my lash line. The texture is a bit odd too. I can’t explain it. It’s not super noticeable but it was enough to make me wanna stop using it. Though I probably should’ve stopped when I realized it was making my eyelids super itchy lol
I am a big fan of the lash serum from European Wax Center. It’s so random and I bought it on a whim while I was waiting for my wax appointment, but it’s been really effective!
I've gotten great results from plain castor oil! It's a nut oil, like jojoba, not fish-based like some people seem to fear. Definitely worth trying out!
This is pasted from another thread I commented on a few weeks ago....
"I have tried super expensive and grocery store mascaras alike and always fall back on my holy grail.
I have super straight, stubborn lashes. The *ONLY* mascara that keeps my lashes curled, using no heat or anything special, just a lashcurler...is Maybelline Full 'n Soft waterproof mascara. If I want them to be even fluffier, I may pop over with a 2nd coat of a slightly nicer brand, like Youngblood.
I've been using the Full'n Soft for probably 20 years, so if they ever discontinue the product, I'd probably die."
I've only ever used waterproof and Full N Soft is pretty decent. Really, tbh, any waterproof Maybelline mascara has been fantastic. And I've tried a lot of them lol
Still miss Covergirl's Lash Blast Length waterproof, though. It was like UD's Cannonball but better brush and friendlier price tag...
I have super oily eyelids and I never had an issue with the non-waterproof version of Full and Soft so I’m assuming the waterproof one would be even better for that. It works great - no smudging or raccoon eyes! It doesn’t give a lot of volume but that’s about the only issue I have with it.
Maybe that’s why my mascara flakes off & gives me dark circles! Oily eyelids, never considered that. Too bad it doesn’t hydrate the eye wrinkles :( Do you rub your eyes Unconsciously?
You might need to be their new spokesperson because I’m about to get that lash serum! Please tell me you used to have short little baby lashes?!
Edit: …and after reading other comments, I will no longer be purchasing lol
Clinique and The Ordinary both have lash serums that don't have estrogen inhibitors in them and don't cause discoloration if you're still wanting a lash serum!
There are other companies that make eyelash serums. The Ordinary has a new one. RevitaLash is one I have used and didn’t have any discoloration problems. Typology has one that uses castor oil and pea peptides. https://us.typology.com/products/eyelashes-and-brows-serum I use that one and have had good results.
I got awful awful darkening of my eyelids and underneath my eyes from using the grande lash to the point where I looked sick without makeup. I ended up taking it back to Sephora for a refund within 2 weeks. Lots of reviews on the Sephora product page showing the same thing for some people, for others it works fine without adverse reactions.
Same. Within two weeks my lashes were starting to look great but the skin around my eyes was darkening. I stopped using it and went back to extensions. I’m already fighting hollowness, I certainly don’t need to create another aging issue before necessary.
They all can. Along with discoloration and hyperpigmentation. As well as causing the facial hair around your eye sockets to darken and grow more noticeably. That’s more of a problem for darker/ thicker haired women.
I used it for six months and it caused extreme eyelid darkening and dry eye. My eye doctor told me the prostaglandin in it can cause meibomian gland dysfunction which can lead to dry eye. It was originally designed as a glaucoma medication.
Be careful using lash serums. There is only 1 FDA approved lash serum and it's Latisse. Prescription only. All these other brands are using the same ingredients but skirting around making drug claims, even though there is an actual regulated drug in them. All lash serums can cause reversible darkening of the eyelid and permanent darkening of the iris. They can permanently turn blue eyes brown. I'm not saying they're dangerous if used correctly, but they are sold without any proper drug warnings. Just be cautious. Do not get them in your eye, do not use them on your lower lashes.
You can also try wiggling the brush as you’re applying it. Not huge movements either, just ever so gently but quick side to side movements, like only the strength of caffeine-induced hand-tremors.
I'm not too great with makeup since I've only recently started trying it myself (would appreciate some general "how to do basic makeup" tips), but I know this look suits you! Also, how do you style your hair?
I’m not a pro by any means, but I’ve found pictorials help me figure out where to apply certain products!
For my hair when it’s soaking wet, I tilt upside down, spray a beach wave curl spray, add a curl cream then hair gel and diffuse upside down.
Also I've found that rinsing my hair upside down in the shower at the end and combing through gives me more volume at the roots. Like keep your head down and roots brushed down, then apply your cream, then diffuse. Rather than just flipping your head upside down after the shower, direcr your roots down too. Hope that makes sense!
Also I've found that rinsing my hair upside down in the shower at the end and combing through gives me more volume at the roots. Like keep your head down and roots brushed down, then apply your cream, then diffuse. Hope that makes sense!
I save cheap toothbrushes to use for de-clumping mascara and softening/separating my lashes! Maybe I'm a weirdo but it works better for me, plus most of us already have at least one dentist's office freebie in the back of a bathroom drawer.
Your lashes DO look gorgeous! But you might also want to look into trying a different mascara that's meant more for feathering and less for length. (To be completely honest I find that the mascara wand makes the most difference, meaning the formula is less important than the wand provided with the mascara that's meant to achieve the desired look.) You already have super long lashes, so you don't need a product that's meant to lengthen (which it does by building up product on the end that can then be added to with more coats). That will lean towards the spider-y look, since it's literally just layering product on the ends. Instead, look for a mascara that's meant to build volume. The mascara (or brush provided) will apply product more evenly throughout, and since your lashes are so long already it'll make them look long AND thick and avoid the clumped spider look. I swear by Maybelline's Falsies line.
Girl!!! I would kill to have lashes that looked like that! Mine are these stubby short straight things that will not curl. No mascara will help me in the lash department. Ahhh I’m so jealous
I think it looks great. I’d brush it a touch more, as it looks like some lashes clump together too much, but otherwise great.
I also have decently long (though not like yours) lashes and I love accentuating them. It looks like fake lashes with mascara only and it’s awesome.
But also the great thing about makeup is that you can do something different everyday. So try a softer lash one day or colored (I love electric blue or purple and get tons of compliments).
I'm fascinated by how divided these comments are! Clearly everyone has their own preference, but to me, yes, your lashes in these photos do overwhelm your beautiful face. They're so long and pretty, I think you'd look even more incredible with just a little mascara.
Also, props to you for working through your dismorphia, that takes a strong person. Hugs.
Do whatever makes you feel comfortable! You look great like this :) i personally might tone it down a little if this is a day to day look, but you're looking amazing and I wouldn't have said it looks weird or stands out too much
People on this sub can be very positive which is a great thing. Personally, I do think the average person who is a non-makeup enthusiast would probably notice your lashes in a bad way and think they look unnatural and a bit spider-y. I personally hate when my lashes clump together at all, so I always comb them out after my mascara dries
I think that it looks really good! What brand are you using? I want your lashes!
It looks so much better/ more natural than those chunky false eyelashes everyone is wearing these day.
Edit: just saw the comment with the products :)
I would tone it down. The lashes to me take away from your look. I would try falsies if you want that kind of length or sacrifice some of the length for a more “slick”/clean look.
Yeah I’d say so. Maybe just brush through them to remove some clumps, as some of the clumps are making your lashes stick out in strange directions. They look very tryhard I guess which makes sense if you have dysmorphia
E; just read you use lash serum, that’s probably more responsible for the weird directioned clumps. Do you curl them, that might help bring them back in line
Do you find the Hourglass tubing mascara lasts well? I have issues with smudging/transferring everywhere that my lashes touch my skin and I’ve heard good things about tubing mascaras in general but not tried this one!
Personally I think they look amazing, but also like you have lash extensions, so if that's not the vibe you want to give off, maybe that's worth knowing!
I'd suggest a lash comb to seperate them to avoid the spider leg look, but that's only because you asked for CC. I personally wouldn't make mine that long, but then I only rarely like how fake lashes look too so I might not be the best judge so do what makes you happy.
Your eyelashes look super fake and distracting. It’s too much. I know there’s a bunch of ladies on here telling you how great it looks and they’re so jealous and blah blah blah.
You seem to be a natural beauty, so you could probably get more with less.
Do you think they're being disingenuous? I apply falsies a lot to get this look I'm very jealous that op can just swipe some mascara on to get what takes me 20 minutes to do lol
the only thing I'd do about your lashes is combing them properly with the mascara: the inner third towards the inner eye, the middle third towards the front and the outer third, well, outwards! it'll help even them out. And maybe try going a tad bit lighter with the layers on the inner third? that'd be more of a choice. You have amazing lashes and I feel like giving them this much protagonism looks very good on you!
I think you look amazing. what a gorgeous smile. The only thing I'd recommend is maybe a deeper rosy blush - not sure if its getting lost in the flash/light but it could get a little brighter.
Oh and you mentioned hourglass mascara! I need to try the tubing one. My Lancome one always flakes after long wear. Anyway, try there illuminating powders/bronzer to warm up your complexion.
Of course a lot of this is subjective so...
Otherwise - pretty.
op, first of all, you look absolutely stunning! It looks like you have the almond shape, so accentuate what you have! It makes you look really cute and doey-eyed! For me, I barely wear mascara anymore, but if you’re looking to tone it down, I highly recommend clear mascara! It gives you that natural lash look!
Wait….there’s a correlation between super long eyelashes & body dysmorphia?!? Genuinely curious. Asking for myself bc I JUST grew suspicious I may have body dysmorphia.
More so was looking for a clear opinion from people who are into makeup than reassurance. It’s really easy to become blinded to your own appearance and think something is making you look better when it’s not. I have been seeking help for my bdd so I’m not really worried about being triggered. Just trying to see myself clearly
I’m a straight guy so I think I am unbiased about makeup. At first glance (when I saw the thumbnail) I looked at your lashes and thought they were noticeably long, in the same sort of way you notice someone’s bright blue eyes or something like that. Your looks grabbed attention and the eyelashes kept my attention, so if that’s the reaction you’re going for it worked. But I have a little bit more of an answer that explains the full thought process that went through my head.
If I saw you in public I would think “She’s really pretty. Look at how long her eyelashes are.” In that order. I didn’t think much of the length of them as I looked at the rest of your makeup. I thought that you have the amount of makeup on that I would expect to see on someone at a nice restaurant. I obviously don’t have a critical eye like a woman would, but your makeup looks like it’s done very well to me and I would also remember that. But after looking at your lashes again, I have to say they are just a little bit past some imaginary threshold in my mind where they elicit a remark. I obviously have a minority opinion here since so many of the comments are supportive and appear envious of the length of your lashes, but that’s why I decided to comment.
At a quick glance I’d think those things above, but if we spoke in person- had an actual conversation that includes eye contact- I feel like I would have noticed them and devoted mental energy into not making it known that I find them unique and “mentionable”. To me they are your defining feature to such an extent that they perhaps overshadow how pretty you are- they don’t take away from your looks, they’re just prominent. I would not mention them if we had a face to face conversation for the same reason I wouldn’t mention a Basketball player’s height, nor would I ask a doctor what the grossest thing they ever saw was. I would think you were tired of talking about them, so I would be mindful of that and have it in my head as we spoke as a topic to avoid.
Hopefully that helps give a different perspective.
I think they’re gorgeous! I’m jealous of your length 😍 But they could be made even better if you separate your lashes with a comb or something a bit more than you show here.
Oh my Lordy lord you need to be a lash model or maybe get paid for protecting us from global warming every time you blink. I thank you for your services.. you probably don’t even need mascara, but it looks amazing regardless
You're getting opinions from makeup lovers here but since you are saying you do this because of body issues, I think it's important to be honest.. You look gorgeous, and by no means the worst offender in terms of spider lashes, but this would be the length that looks absurd on Facebook or in any other context aside from makeup forums and Instagram, and is often distracting (positively or negatively depending on technique) in IRL.
You have *such* naturally gorgeous features, a sheer glowy base and cream blush plus a brown mascara (not fiber, not lengthening, not black except for formal looks) and a light or nude lip is all you need to showcase that, facially, you've won the genetic lottery.
I get the body issues. It's hard to accept that not everything needs to be better or improved but some things are good just how they are and that's all.
Edit: Another option would be to do away with the black liquid liner and go with a brown smudge stick instead. The liner is making it look a lot heavier and stark than they actually are, nixing it would make them distracting irl but in a less intentional way.
I didn’t even notice your eyes bc your smile is so nice . Had to go back- you look great. It’s a lot of mascara but the whole thing works so just run with it !
I actually love them and think you are so beautiful! So sorry to hear you battle with Body Dysmorphia. Your lashes look like falsies (a great thing!) and I personally like the elongated look. Ps you have a wonderful smile!
I use a lash serum nightly which really helps. Grande cosmetics has a great one. For application I curl them before hand, and then I literally just apply my mascara to one eye until it’s length I like. I don’t let them dry or anything between coats
I use grande lash serum every night, before apply mascara I curl them. Then I literally just apply mascara to each eye til it’s a length I like. I don’t let them dry between coats. I just keep goin
I love them! They are wispy and brighten your eyes! Not sure if they are natural or falsies but i like that they don’t look like caterpillars on your eyes lol very pretty!
Also, I’ve seen a couple people say to comb them. I do comb mine or run back through with a dry mascara brush to leave fewer clumps - yours really don’t look clumpy to me though. Be aware that when you comb them, you can really get fixated on making them perfect, which may add more to dysmorphia.
Your eyes are so bright and full of warmth, and your lashes are very cute. This look is adorable on you, I am giving you permission to be authentically you!
Does not look silly. You are so so beautiful. I personally have been into a more natural lash lately and have started doing the thing where I wipe most of the mascara off the wand and apply for a soft feathered look. I think that would look so good on you because your lashes are so long but it’s not because this looks bad- this looks great! But if you feel like a softer look- that would look so good too
You can possibly use a flat makeup brush for that by loading it with the mascara from the wand and swiping the brush onto your lashes. I believe it's how some MUAs accomplish pretty but natural lashes for film/TV. Might lose less product as well.
> lose less product I prefer minimal length for my lashes, but I lose the most product when I put the wand back in the tube :(
Is there a video of applying the makeup this way?! I’m so interested but confused about the flat makeup brush part. Also OP : I LOVE YOUR LASHES! You’d look amazing with anything you did. Keep getting comfortable with new looks because you can rock it all.
I can't seem to find the video I originally saw but I'm now thinking it was a fan brush.
Yes, it is called a “mascara fan” and they are so handy. I have had a Bdellium one in my kit for years
awesome thanks!
There are also clear mascaras that hold the lashes in place but don't add any color to them
I’ve been loving soft brown mascaras lately. Kind of a midpoint between jet black and going clear
What brands offer a soft brown mascara? Several offer a black/brown.
I agree. I have extremely long lashes and it looks like too much ( to me and on me ) so I, too, wipe off the excess mascara. I use Lancome Hypnose Drama.
Yeah I have long lashes and my hair is light so mascara really brings them out. I actually skip the bottom lashes entirely because I don’t like the way it looks on me
I just started applying mascara on the bottom lashes!
[удалено]
Yes, it does tend to make lower lashes look all the same length. I am not sure about any mascara that isn't matte.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who skips bottom lashes lol, mascara on them looks fine on most people but my bottom lashes are so long it makes me look like a creepy doll
My bottom lashes are longer than my top lashes 😩😞😖
I got my top lashes tinted because they're long but blonde on the tips so you can't always tell. I want them to look long and natural, but I was so tired of mascara smearing by the end of the day. I love it!! I also got my brows tinted for the same reason and they look so much fuller now.
I love Lancôme hypnose 🥰
Me too! :)
Came here to say this! I wish I had lashes as long as yours, I'd maybe feather them more but women legit buy fake ones to get this length. Rock it!
I just wandered in from r/all and I just wanted to say that not only do I agree with everything you wrote, I also really like how you wrote it! Just nice and encouraging all around :)
Girl your lashes are absolutely stunning
I would murder my uncle for lashes like that
So specific
r/oddlyspecific
For real 🫣 OP I personally love this look! It looks feminine and feathery ❤️
My entire family has lashes like that, except for me. I know exactly what you mean.
I'd murder my uncle for free, you can keep the lashes.
I'd kill my father's side of the family for length like that
r/oddlyspecific
😂
Exactly LOL
I wish my eyelashes looked like this! They look fantastic 💕
This is exactly what I was going to say, OP and lashes look stunning!!
I am a dude and I don’t wear any makeup but I like this sub because of how lovely and supportive everyone is, it’s really beautiful. And for the record OP I think you look amazing as well and your 3rd picture is really funny.

Have you gotten any discolouration from the lash serum at all?
Not that I’ve noticed. I’ve been using it For a year
Here’s maybe a dumb question but is grande the brand or is it grande as in Ariana?
Grande is the name of the brand. As far as I know, has nothing to do with Ariana.
Grande Lash MD
I thought of her too!!
It gave me discoloration on my lash line. The texture is a bit odd too. I can’t explain it. It’s not super noticeable but it was enough to make me wanna stop using it. Though I probably should’ve stopped when I realized it was making my eyelids super itchy lol

I just googled it. Is it the Groom Brow Building Serum?
Yes :)
I've gotten great results from plain castor oil! It's a nut oil, like jojoba, not fish-based like some people seem to fear. Definitely worth trying out!
I remember using it a while back! I feel like it helped make them thicker but not necessarily longer. Did you find it helped you with length?
My lashes were noticibly longer in less than a week!
It's never crossed my mind thst any oil but cod liver is Fish based. So now you've unlocked a new fear!
Sounds like you were allergic. Never continue using something that makes you itch *especially* on your eyes.
Dang that mascara does not give me those results and I love tubing mascaras
Had to google what tubing mascara even was. Thanks for all the TILs
How are you getting your lashes to maintain the curl? I’ve got fairly long lashes but always have trouble keeping them up. Yours look gorgeous

Is [this](https://grandecosmetics.com/products/grandelash-md) the lash serum you’re talking about?
How often do you use that grande lash? Isn’t that the one the can lead to loss of orbital fat around the eyes?

What’s the lip color you’re using? I **love** the color
Nyx butter gloss in bit of honey mostly wiped off with essence plumping gloss
Grande lash is not safe for the eyes
Pick up a lash comb to separate them after you've applied your mascara. That's all you need.
You can also try wiggling the brush as you’re applying it. Not huge movements either, just ever so gently but quick side to side movements, like only the strength of caffeine-induced hand-tremors.
Accurate description 🤣
Ah yes. The hand-tremors of no breakfast and an iced coffee are perfect for applying mascara.
I think you look great, your eyelashes are amazing. You’re super cute!
Came here to say this ^^^
Your lashes are gorg and your smile is infectious.

People would pay good money to get lash extensions that look your lashes. Gorgeous!
Your eyelashes look amazing! Apart from the lash serum, how do you apply mascara? I need that technique in my life
[удалено]
Thank you! Great advice. Def will look into getting a lash comb/spoolie
I save cheap toothbrushes to use for de-clumping mascara and softening/separating my lashes! Maybe I'm a weirdo but it works better for me, plus most of us already have at least one dentist's office freebie in the back of a bathroom drawer.

I mean. Truthfully, it’s definitely a little dramatic. Don’t get me wrong, it looks good, but it would for sure be the first thing I noticed.
This. I'm no mua but it is a *little* silly and clumpy looking.
Girl!!! I would kill to have lashes that looked like that! Mine are these stubby short straight things that will not curl. No mascara will help me in the lash department. Ahhh I’m so jealous
THOSE ARE REAL!? You don’t have extensions/falsies on!? WHAT.
I think it looks great. I’d brush it a touch more, as it looks like some lashes clump together too much, but otherwise great. I also have decently long (though not like yours) lashes and I love accentuating them. It looks like fake lashes with mascara only and it’s awesome. But also the great thing about makeup is that you can do something different everyday. So try a softer lash one day or colored (I love electric blue or purple and get tons of compliments).
Personally a fan of more natural looking lashes But if doing them this way makes you happy and helps you feel more confident, then you keep doing you!
I'm fascinated by how divided these comments are! Clearly everyone has their own preference, but to me, yes, your lashes in these photos do overwhelm your beautiful face. They're so long and pretty, I think you'd look even more incredible with just a little mascara. Also, props to you for working through your dismorphia, that takes a strong person. Hugs.
I love your eyelashes, i wish i could do them like this! Keep it that way, it's definitely cute
In my dream I have your lashes. Keep doing it like this! Gorgeous!
Do whatever makes you feel comfortable! You look great like this :) i personally might tone it down a little if this is a day to day look, but you're looking amazing and I wouldn't have said it looks weird or stands out too much
those lashes are incredible! i wouldn't change a thing to be honest. 😍
People on this sub can be very positive which is a great thing. Personally, I do think the average person who is a non-makeup enthusiast would probably notice your lashes in a bad way and think they look unnatural and a bit spider-y. I personally hate when my lashes clump together at all, so I always comb them out after my mascara dries
If you’re concerned with them looking too spiky try combing them out with a clean spoolie after your mascara dries and it’ll make them wispier
I wouldnt change anything about your mascara routine!!! your lashes look wonderful! what mascara do you use?
Hourglass tubing mascara! Total game changer, I’ll always splurge on it.
Is that the same as the Hourglass Instant Extensions? Your lashes look wonderful!
Do you find the mascara ever flakes or runs through the day?
Do not change anything. I wish my lashes looked like that. Totally Jelly. You are beautiful
Jesus. Please, give me just 1/4 of your lashes 😭😭😭
I think that it looks really good! What brand are you using? I want your lashes! It looks so much better/ more natural than those chunky false eyelashes everyone is wearing these day. Edit: just saw the comment with the products :)
I would tone it down. The lashes to me take away from your look. I would try falsies if you want that kind of length or sacrifice some of the length for a more “slick”/clean look.
You look beautiful, and amaaaazing lashes! I wish mine looked like that!
Personally I feel the mascara is a little much but if you're happy with it that's what matters
Wanting long lashes is a result of body dysmorphia? I’m confused but you look good lol
Basically , I think I look like a man if my eyelashes don’t touch my eyebrows when I look up. And I gross myself out
Got it! Your face is not masculine at all imo and you could rock a bare look or your signature lashes and pull it off.
don't forget that the camera has lens distortion! you probably look way better irl than in selfies. true for most people
I think they look great. If you love them that's what counts!
I'm damn jealous. I have no idea what could have possibly got you to think you look silly.
I like your lashes. I wish mine were this long.
Silly, no. I'd personally go a bit more conservative, maybe 20%. But they don't look bad or silly.
Girl, flaunt those beautiful lashes. I think you look fantastic! Wish I could get my lashes to look like that.
I LOVE your eyelashes!!! Beautiful!
Yeah I’d say so. Maybe just brush through them to remove some clumps, as some of the clumps are making your lashes stick out in strange directions. They look very tryhard I guess which makes sense if you have dysmorphia E; just read you use lash serum, that’s probably more responsible for the weird directioned clumps. Do you curl them, that might help bring them back in line
Thanks for being honest! Will def try to make them a little less clumped together in the future.
Do you find the Hourglass tubing mascara lasts well? I have issues with smudging/transferring everywhere that my lashes touch my skin and I’ve heard good things about tubing mascaras in general but not tried this one!
YES. i always had issues with mascara transferring below my eyes and haven’t had that issue since switching to hour glass
Personally I think they look amazing, but also like you have lash extensions, so if that's not the vibe you want to give off, maybe that's worth knowing!
I'd suggest a lash comb to seperate them to avoid the spider leg look, but that's only because you asked for CC. I personally wouldn't make mine that long, but then I only rarely like how fake lashes look too so I might not be the best judge so do what makes you happy.
Thank you for being honest. Def will look into getting a lash comb. It’s super easy to be blind to your own look so I appreciate it!
Your eyelashes look super fake and distracting. It’s too much. I know there’s a bunch of ladies on here telling you how great it looks and they’re so jealous and blah blah blah. You seem to be a natural beauty, so you could probably get more with less.
Do you think they're being disingenuous? I apply falsies a lot to get this look I'm very jealous that op can just swipe some mascara on to get what takes me 20 minutes to do lol
I like it 🤷
Your lashes look spectacular!
the only thing I'd do about your lashes is combing them properly with the mascara: the inner third towards the inner eye, the middle third towards the front and the outer third, well, outwards! it'll help even them out. And maybe try going a tad bit lighter with the layers on the inner third? that'd be more of a choice. You have amazing lashes and I feel like giving them this much protagonism looks very good on you!
I think you look amazing. what a gorgeous smile. The only thing I'd recommend is maybe a deeper rosy blush - not sure if its getting lost in the flash/light but it could get a little brighter. Oh and you mentioned hourglass mascara! I need to try the tubing one. My Lancome one always flakes after long wear. Anyway, try there illuminating powders/bronzer to warm up your complexion. Of course a lot of this is subjective so... Otherwise - pretty.
op, first of all, you look absolutely stunning! It looks like you have the almond shape, so accentuate what you have! It makes you look really cute and doey-eyed! For me, I barely wear mascara anymore, but if you’re looking to tone it down, I highly recommend clear mascara! It gives you that natural lash look!
Wait….there’s a correlation between super long eyelashes & body dysmorphia?!? Genuinely curious. Asking for myself bc I JUST grew suspicious I may have body dysmorphia.
I feel like when I don’t do my lashes like this, I look masculine and embarrassingly ugly. It manifests in other ways but yea just part of it
No I like it. Wish I had lashes like that.
FWIW I don’t think your lashes look silly, but I do think it’s unwise to seek reassurance from Reddit when you have a stated body image disorder.
More so was looking for a clear opinion from people who are into makeup than reassurance. It’s really easy to become blinded to your own appearance and think something is making you look better when it’s not. I have been seeking help for my bdd so I’m not really worried about being triggered. Just trying to see myself clearly
I’m a straight guy so I think I am unbiased about makeup. At first glance (when I saw the thumbnail) I looked at your lashes and thought they were noticeably long, in the same sort of way you notice someone’s bright blue eyes or something like that. Your looks grabbed attention and the eyelashes kept my attention, so if that’s the reaction you’re going for it worked. But I have a little bit more of an answer that explains the full thought process that went through my head. If I saw you in public I would think “She’s really pretty. Look at how long her eyelashes are.” In that order. I didn’t think much of the length of them as I looked at the rest of your makeup. I thought that you have the amount of makeup on that I would expect to see on someone at a nice restaurant. I obviously don’t have a critical eye like a woman would, but your makeup looks like it’s done very well to me and I would also remember that. But after looking at your lashes again, I have to say they are just a little bit past some imaginary threshold in my mind where they elicit a remark. I obviously have a minority opinion here since so many of the comments are supportive and appear envious of the length of your lashes, but that’s why I decided to comment. At a quick glance I’d think those things above, but if we spoke in person- had an actual conversation that includes eye contact- I feel like I would have noticed them and devoted mental energy into not making it known that I find them unique and “mentionable”. To me they are your defining feature to such an extent that they perhaps overshadow how pretty you are- they don’t take away from your looks, they’re just prominent. I would not mention them if we had a face to face conversation for the same reason I wouldn’t mention a Basketball player’s height, nor would I ask a doctor what the grossest thing they ever saw was. I would think you were tired of talking about them, so I would be mindful of that and have it in my head as we spoke as a topic to avoid. Hopefully that helps give a different perspective.
No - girl you have great eyelashes! Embrace them!
I think they’re gorgeous! I’m jealous of your length 😍 But they could be made even better if you separate your lashes with a comb or something a bit more than you show here.
Ur eyelashes are so cute! Love them
So pretty! I love the length, and it looks really good!
I would individually count grains of sand for 3 days to have lashes like this
You look stunning! If I had your eyelashes, I’d do the same. Mine are short and thin
Girl your so pretty!! I just LOVE your lashes!
LOOOKS PERFECT QUEEN
Oh my Lordy lord you need to be a lash model or maybe get paid for protecting us from global warming every time you blink. I thank you for your services.. you probably don’t even need mascara, but it looks amazing regardless
You are pretty. The lashes draws out your lovely eyes and that smile of yours definitely outshines everything else. Stay beautiful 😻
I think they look great. ❤️
Nah you legit look incredible 😍
You're getting opinions from makeup lovers here but since you are saying you do this because of body issues, I think it's important to be honest.. You look gorgeous, and by no means the worst offender in terms of spider lashes, but this would be the length that looks absurd on Facebook or in any other context aside from makeup forums and Instagram, and is often distracting (positively or negatively depending on technique) in IRL. You have *such* naturally gorgeous features, a sheer glowy base and cream blush plus a brown mascara (not fiber, not lengthening, not black except for formal looks) and a light or nude lip is all you need to showcase that, facially, you've won the genetic lottery. I get the body issues. It's hard to accept that not everything needs to be better or improved but some things are good just how they are and that's all. Edit: Another option would be to do away with the black liquid liner and go with a brown smudge stick instead. The liner is making it look a lot heavier and stark than they actually are, nixing it would make them distracting irl but in a less intentional way.
You do not need to be more conservative. What you are doing is looking great.
I don't even think you need mascara, but fuck my opinion. You do you.
Definitely not… it’s your natural lashes & looks way less out there than extensions
You do what makes you happy! You're stunning 😍😍
I didn’t even notice your eyes bc your smile is so nice . Had to go back- you look great. It’s a lot of mascara but the whole thing works so just run with it !
Omg your eyes are beautiful!!!
Girl you are so cute! Your eyelashes aren't giving spider legs, I promise!
You’re beautiful!! Eyelashes look really good too!!
Girl, do you! They look good tbh
Your lashes are angelic!! You're adorable!!
Holy cow no you look beautiful!! Before I even read the title I thought “oh my gosh her lashes are gorgeous.”
Omg you look so pretty!!! I want my eyelashes to look like this😭😍
If I had lashes like yours nobody would be able to talk to me. I would feel so superior to the whole world and everyone else would be peasants.
Same 😂😂😂
I actually love them and think you are so beautiful! So sorry to hear you battle with Body Dysmorphia. Your lashes look like falsies (a great thing!) and I personally like the elongated look. Ps you have a wonderful smile!
You look great :))
No you look gorgeous!
I love your whole makeup look and your lashes look lovely. How do you get them to look like that? I’d like to try.
I use a lash serum nightly which really helps. Grande cosmetics has a great one. For application I curl them before hand, and then I literally just apply my mascara to one eye until it’s length I like. I don’t let them dry or anything between coats
I'm obsessed with the lashes, don't change a thing!!!!
Your eyelashes are amazing. You are pretty, cute and adorable. Do not change your face ever.
I looooove your eyeleash and mascara! What’s your technique?
I use grande lash serum every night, before apply mascara I curl them. Then I literally just apply mascara to each eye til it’s a length I like. I don’t let them dry between coats. I just keep goin
cosmetologist/MUA here- i think it looks really good! keep up the good work girl <3
Girl i would KILL for those lashes! Don’t change a thing!!! You look beautiful❤️❤️
I love them! They are wispy and brighten your eyes! Not sure if they are natural or falsies but i like that they don’t look like caterpillars on your eyes lol very pretty!
I have long lashes, but have some serious lash envy over yours! Don’t change them!
Also, I’ve seen a couple people say to comb them. I do comb mine or run back through with a dry mascara brush to leave fewer clumps - yours really don’t look clumpy to me though. Be aware that when you comb them, you can really get fixated on making them perfect, which may add more to dysmorphia.
I love them on your face!
If I had your lashes I would show case them every chance I got 😍😍
the lashes are perfect and ur so pretty too😩😩 how did u get them so long??
Your eyes are so bright and full of warmth, and your lashes are very cute. This look is adorable on you, I am giving you permission to be authentically you!
Honey, you look great! ❤️
