should you wear mascara on the bottom
lashes on mature eyes I'm going to let you
know hi I'm Schellea and welcome to
Fabulous 50's I get asked all the time
why I don't wear mascara on the bottom
lashes and today I'm going to show you
what it looks like on me and why I don't
wear it and I'm going to explain to you
the do's and don'ts of wearing mascara
on the bottom lashes the general rule of
thumb is that wearing mascara above your
eyes and makeup above your eyes lips and
wearing mascara on the bottom of your
eyes makes your eyes look more rounded
so we've got a lifting effect up top and
a rounding effect down the bottom and on
mature eyes what can happen is when we
apply mascara down here it can make our
eyes look bigger and rounder but what
it also does is it draws the attention
to down here on our face so it can be
very very very aging and I'm going to
show you on me what that looks like and
this rule doesn't apply to everybody and
I'll explain the differences I have long
lower lashes and when I apply mascara
it's like an arrow pointing down and yes
my eyes look bigger and rounder but
it's not youthful it's really aging so
let me start by showing you what it
looks like on me I'm using the IT
cosmetics superhero mascara and I love
this one so much it's very lengthening
and volumizing but when I apply mascara
to the bottom lashes just wait and see
what happens that's one side so look at
the difference between my eyes
this is that doll like look you know big
eyes but it looks ridiculous on me and
I'll go and do the other side as well
okay that's both eyes on me and I really
don't like this look so automatically
you can see that there's so much
attention drawing my face down because
I've got long lashes this isn't a rule
for everyone though if you have very
fine lashes and very short lashes adding
a little bit of color underneath can
really lift your eyes and if you've got
very very blonde eyelashes as well it
will add some more definition so for my
eyes in particular I just put a little
bit of liner or eyeshadow underneath my
eyes to define them a little bit and
then I completely do nothing with my
eyelashes because I don't want to bring
any attention to them I would rather
bring the attention to what's going on
up here because that lifts my face and
this way pulls my face down when you see
a look like this on a young woman it
looks beautiful but I think as you're
getting older it's just giving too much
attention to like under here there's
lots of wrinkles on me and it's sort of
bringing attention to that
don't bring any attention to this ladies
that we tend to get and I also find that
the mascara transfers onto my face and
that's because the eyelashes are so
close to my face and every time my face
moves and my eyes move it's touching my
eyelashes and the formula in the mascara
mixes with all the oils in my foundation
and my serums and my skincare and it
dissolves it during the day so I end up
with this panda eye thing so one mascara
that will not do that is the Mac the
Blue Mac and it's waterproof and it will
not smudge onto your skin so try that
mascara if you have the problem but I'm
not saying don't wear mascara
on the bottom lashes I'm just saying if
you're like me and have long lashes it
can be very very aging and I would
prefer to lift my eyes rather than to
round them and bring attention to
anything that's going on under here and
I just wanted to sort that out for all
the people who ask me why I don't so
this is why I don't I'd love to hear
what you do with your lower lashes so
