Mascara that does not add length
Permalink Closed

I use Latisse and my mascara is lengthening. But I got new glasses and I guess the lenses are closer to my eyes than the old ones - my lashes keep hitting the lenses and it's driving me crazy!

Do any of you have a mascara you like that gives volume/definition but no length? Bonus points if it doesn't smudge.

no suggestions, but I am insanely jealous. You could have your lashes tinted at a salon if you wanted. (hey, I guess I do have a suggestion)

It happens to me with sunglasses. I think you'll get used to it.

I agree with Boots. You'll just get used to it. This happens to me a lot with glasses and while annoying, it's really a good thing...nice and long eyelashes!

It's probably the glasses.  Most of mine do it.  If your lashes don't hit when you are not wearing mascara, then it's probably not the mascara lengthening your lashes but the angle at which your lashes point when you wear mascara.  Fun, eh?!  You can try adjusting the glasses so they sit slightly farther out from your face too.

Blech! I'm not wearing mascara today and they don't hit. Maybe I'll try whipping out my eyelash curler (which I rarely ever use) to curl them up, not straight out at my lenses. I didn't think about it being an angle thing.

I think curling your lashes will do the trick - that's the only way I can keep them from constantly brushing the lenses if I'm wearing mascara.

Good idea - I don't think the mascara is really adding more than 2 mm of lenth so it's probably the angle.
