I'm old...I don't "get" the clumpy mascara trend

[Kae]

I don't "get" the clumpy mascara trend. I see the ads and I just want to find a eye lash comb.

Am I alone?

No, you are not alone. I was invited to one of those Younique Facebook parties a few weeks ago, and at first I thought the host had put up the wrong pictures by mistake. But it seems like clumpy is "in" right now...

I assume that some brilliant marketing person figured out a way to sell crappy mascara.

 

[belle1986]

I don't consider myself old (29) and I don't get it at all.

I didn't even know that this was a thing. Who is marketing it and why haven't I seen the ads?

 

[Grmnshplvr]

I love the Younique (sp) mascara, but I brush out the clumps. Can't stand them. If I find out I pick it up with my fingers throughout the day until I have no more makeup on lol

 

[Goofy_Disney_Dad]

Do the clumps ever stick together and you can't open your eyes?

 

[weeniecat2442]

I don't get it either. It makes my eyes water when I see ad's with the clumpy spider eyes!

I used a metal comb to separate my lashes. Can't stand clumping.

When I was a teen, I had a friend who spent 45 minutes on her makeup, PLUS another 45 just on lashes. She used a needle or a pin to individually separate every lash. EVERY SINGLE LASH. I cringed when she did that and kept telling her some version of, "You'll poke your eye out, kid!" Well, one day that needle slipped and she stabbed herself in the eye. It only bothered her for a few days and she went right back to individually separating her lashes. If only she had owned a comb like mine.

The ads I hate are the ones for mascara that are clearly using false eyelashes! If it's an ad for mascara, I want to see it on REAL eyelashes.

A friend sells Younique and is after me to buy some, but I've had a good excuse to say no because I'm allergic to everything under the sun. I don't think it would be a good look for me, plus I worry about the fibers falling into my eye.

glad I am not alone. I mean I have had that look before in my twenties...in the morning after a night of being out lol.

It seems like everything old is new again at some point with fashion and make up!
Although not quite as "clumpy" as today's trend, think back to the sixties and Twiggy for example

There are many trends I will happily attempt, even if it's just in front of my mirror at home...but that's not one of them.

 

[lorimay]

Is that why my mascara is like that? I just bought some, can't remember what name brand, but I hate it and actually use a piece of toilet paper to wipe the brush before I apply. Hope this trend ends quickly.

 

[powellrj]

Is that the $30 a tube kind they sell at home parties? I have seen it on facebook, but I still keep buying the big pink tube with the green top!

One of the moms from DD's dance studio tried to get all the girls to switch to this stuff instead of false eyelashes, cause her dd who just joined the team doesn't like them. All the girls who have been on the team for a long time vetoed it quick. None of them like the look.

 

[mandy200587]

I hate mascara that clumps! Hate it!!!!

 

[justgrace]

I'm young and I don't get it either...

 

[Soldier's*Sweeties]

I don't get it either. I have fairly long lashes naturally so I don't use much anyway.
