Blog by Request : My Favorite Mascara...L'Oreal's Voluminous Carbon Black

I asked my friends on Facebook to help me out with my next blog. My beautiful and sweet friend Cindy Corona requested my favorite mascara :) You are all probably expecting some super hard to find, wait list requiring, right arm costing, made of rare minerals from a rain forest in Atlantis mascara.....but my fav is easily found at any drugstore, usually on sale and does not require any surgical handy work to remove appendages for payment.

At a average of $6, you can get what almost every MUA has in their kits....L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara! There are many different formulations, my fav being Carbon Black in waterproof or non-waterproof. Does not clump, smudge or flake. Creates volume and length and if you get Carbon Black....it is super duper dark!

When working on clients, I tend to use a different mode of application. As all my students know, I am a huge fan of the fan brush (pun fully intended!). Simply take the wand out of the tube and brush the product onto a stainless steel palette. Dip your small fan brush (can be found at craft or art stores for $3) into the mascara and brush the product onto the top and bottom of your upper lashes. This brush is so thin that you can actually get right up to the lash line without smudges! For your bottom lashes simply swipe the brush back and forth, instead of up and down :) Makes a huge difference in volume and length. Plus you keep your mascara from accumulating unfriendly amoeba's and it will last longer :)

FYI....Make-up Artists use this mascara so often, that it is actually sold in pro make-up shops for $12.99!!!!

Enjoy!!!
