The Lipstick League – week of 10.17.11

Lipstick League Question of the Week: 

Eyelash curlers: necessity or luxury?

G's Answer:  My eyelash curler is a total luxury. I rarely think to use it, but not because my lashes have a natural curl--I desperately need to use a curler! It's just that I use washable mascara (I don't like using eye makeup remover unless absolutely necessary) and washable mascaras just don't hold a curl as well as waterproof varieties. So most of the time I opt for easily-removable mascara vs. curled lashes.
