When it comes to face paint, I don't dig the subtle. There is one line, however, that I don't foresee crossing soon, and that is false lashes.
| They are gorgeous, yes, but not worth the price. |
Unless they are really, truly, expertly applied, they can look disconcertingly freakish. Additionally, there is a possibility of damaging the real lashes.
I opt for dramatic mascaras instead, and simply apply as many coats that give me the volume I desire. Before yontif I actually look like I have false lashes on, without the glue.
My drugstore-issue like is L'Oreal Paris Voluminous False Lashes. Clump-free? Not quite. The formula is not as smooth as the false-lash mascara offerings from Sephora, and the brush is larger than I would like, but for $8.99 (or less with a coupon) it does the job very well, especially with some primer beneath.
I find false-lash mascaras are ideal for Shabbos Face since they stay on very well without flaking, nor are they difficult to remove.

L'Oreal = Lo Real = not real.
I just thought of that today.
I think that is a very clever thing to say, especially since I almost never think about cosmetics, because I am a man.
I had written on this before, but somehow it didn't take.
I think false lashes look good on the red carpet, professional photographs, things like that.
Otherwise, when I see them on people just walking around, they look ridiculous.
Tovah: A concurring opinion! It is official!
