I basically chucked mascara a couple years ago because I realized I looked more fresh and open with just a lined eye. No shadow, just a little concealer on the lid. SOMETIMES a shimmery dark brown mascara (some special ed. from Dior) for a night out. But still no shadow.

There is a high clump risk, though, despite the rubbery, spiky brush. But using Tweezerman's foldaway lash comb (so pretty, gold tines in a plastic frame) before the formula dries has been an excellent fix for me. The benefits (ha) far outweigh the drawbacks on this one.

I absolutely get the platform shoe backlash! I (and I know I am going to get hammered for this) have NEVER liked platform shoes. IMO I think they look tacky. Soooo glad to see the pointy-toed pumps coming back in- love those. So aesthetically pleasing to my eye! As for mascara, right now I am using Lancome's Definicils. I like the length and volume it gives to my lashes. But I also use Maybelline Great Lash- it's an old, reliable standby for me. I also have tried Maybelline's The Falsies- didn't like. Too clumpy for me. I just may have to try the Benefit one you use. One question- does it flake at all? Need my mascara to last all day without flakiness. Thnx! : )

Lately I've been digging "They're Real" by Benefit -- after wiping the wand almost bare for a really natural look. You can almost watch your lashes curl up and away, like those morivivi plants that move away when you touch them. (Sorry, I think in plant references.) What mascara are you using right now?

I think the 'no mascara' look is somewhat of a backlash against the whole "Kardashian, exaggerated lashes, exaggerated everything" look. People are tired of the overexposure, tired of the look. On the other hand, I do agree with the comment that the runway does not influence my make-up. I happen to love mascara, and I always have at least 3 mascaras that I use in rotation in my makeup bag. I am always asking people what mascara they use...

On the one hand, I JUST got my eyelashes figured out. On the other, it is nice that we're de-Kardashianing ourselves. Even if it is with skimpier lashes.

So yes, I've been doing the thin line of eyeliner or the smudgy look for a while - so glad that this is now a trend and I can stop being asked 'Why aren't you wearing mascara??'

So no, I won't put down the mascara wand! Not for love nor money, ha.

Also - "it feels more modern this way" must be the most-uttered phrase of every Fashion Week, ever. It seems to come out of the mouth of every single designer, stylist, MUA, editor...
