Where: Clinique, David Jones & Myer.
Let me just admit that I have rather pathetic lower lashes. Yes, even for someone with Asian descent, they are awful and you’ll see exactly what I mean with the photos below.
This essentially means I never coat my lower lashes ever, because no mascara brush can get to them withoutcoating my lower lash line too.
When I heard Clinique was releasing a lower lash mascara I jumped on it. Usually I’m tempted to always order my cosmetics online, but at $28AU for this product, I thought that was actually a very reasonable price and was happy to fork over the cash at David Jones.
The wand is very tiny, which meant I could actually coat my own lashes this time! It does take a bit of time. I did need to wipe the brush on the barrel before use since I don’t think the actual barrel is tight enough to automatically wipe down the brush. If you don’t wipe it down you most likely will end up with too much product and clumpy lashes.
But if you’ve got the application down, the results are rather amazing. I can actually see my lashes in photographs now! Even though my lower lashes actually point straight (they don’t curve down 🙁 ) I could see them.
Sorry for the scary eye photos, due to the nature of my lashes I had to take the photos from a top down angle so the difference was clearer…. and now you can see how terrible my lower lashes are, they even naturally criss cross in some spots :/
The mascara has the ability to last all day because the formula actually creates a tube around each lash, which means it doesn’t smudge at all. Applying some warm water will cause the tubes to fall off clean, great for washing the mascara off.
All in all, I’m loving this product and can see myself using this for outings. Now if I could find a way to curl my lashes down (and maybe grow a ton more!) I would be in heaven!
I have never heard of this one from Clinique, but I love the brush. It’s so unique and looks great on you! 🙂
I hope you’re able to find samples of the Lancome Genifique!
Thank you! I’m so self conscious of my lower lashes hehe.
I really hope so too 🙂
you have more lower lash than mine! mine are invisible!
you can curl your lower lash with your normal curler, but turn it the other way round. check out cl2425’s channel, i think she once demonstrated how to curl lower lashes. my lashes are too short so it doesn’t work on me.
I tried curling my lower lashes for this post, and I ended up stabbing my eye with it >_< I'll check out the channel and hopefully she has a better technique than me! My lashes are so straight sometimes they flip up and stick to my eyeballs @_@… hope that's not too gross ;_;
