Anyone do this? I was putting on mascara this morning and my lashes (not to brag, or anything...:P ) are just too long! It's like flop, flop when I blink. I only use one layer of mascara, too. Are there any special scissors or something just to trim them down a touch?

I have an eyelash curler and that just makes them feel even longer.... :rollseyes:

never heard of that....trimming them, I mean...maybe our resident beauty consultant LYNN could answer that question...

ME? I'd be too chicken, I mean what if you cut 'em too short?? :blink:

Yeah, I don't think trimming is very common. Most girls LIKE long lashes and will do anything to get them.

Just call me weird, but mine bother me. If I cut them too short, I'm sure they'd grow back...

OK, are you out of your mind?!!

Honestly, that's the first thing I thought when I read the title for this thread. Lena! Don't trim your lashes! What if you mess up? What if they look all funky?

Oh and hey, did I tell you Avon has a new red colored mascara? It's a curling mascara. I think it'll be introduced in the next campaign. You can go to: www.youravon.com/lmcginnis and click on Campaign 8 to see it.

OH! This is not a sales plug. I don't think I'm allowed to ship to you. So you'd have to find it locally. But I thought of you when I saw it because I know you wanted a lighter color than you could find.

Darn, guess I'll just have to put up with these. I don't wanna mess them up, either....that would look worse than keeping them long.

RED mascara?? What?! I've never seen red mascara before...:blink: I have slightly reddish natural highlights in my hair, so maybe it wouldn't look too bad on me....Don't know what the hub would think, tho. :D Abe has access to several Avon ladies at work. That's where he pretty much "shops" for me. Not makeup, of course...just the Precious Moments stuff.

PS: Wasn't it someone else who wanted a light-coloured mascara? I have no problem with dark brown which is my current colour...or even black...wasn't that String? :unsure:

Yeah, I know String wanted it too. But I could swear you wanted a lighter color too. Sorry sister.

Aww, no biggie. :hug: That red does sound interesting, tho....hehe

yeah, do what I do. don't curl them and DONT put mascara on.... makes them feel shorter if you dont do either of these things :thumbsup:

trim them... that would be very bad indeed. imagine if you cut them sideways :nono:

So cool you're blessed with long lashes Lena. I wasn't blessed in that manner, but I can appreciate those who do have. I'm thinking I don't want sharp objects near my eyes, as my hand isn't the steadiest. I could poke you eye out.

I have no idea how you would go about trimming lashes.

I could design something like an eyelash curler that lops off your lashes, I suppose. Like a little blade, like that of a papercutter?

Doris, that sounds like an awesome invention! I don't have long eyelashes, either, but I bet alot of women would use it....Lena could test it out for you!! :nod:

Ok, uh....WOW. That sounds a little rough. Eh, I love my lashes now? :nod: :shakeit:

Doris, you are brilliant. I'm sure if you could make it, someone would buy it.

I still think you guys are crazy though. I have NEVER heard of a woman wanting SHORTER lashes. Mine also brush up against my glasses sometimes, but heck, how can you complain?
