How can lashes change your confidence in just a few minutes? 

Some of the girls I interviewed said they just curl their lashes and apply mascara, while others prefer to wear false lashes. 

Kendal Metz said, “I choose to wear mascara instead of lashes because every time I had to wear lashes for a cheer competition, they would always weigh my eyes down, and they aren’t that comfortable for me.”

Leslie Rivera also shared how she makes her mascara last. “I keep my mascara from smudging by practicing a lot and using a mini fan after I apply it. But honestly, practice really does make perfect.”

We see how many girls love the look of lashes and taking time to do them, but they come with so many struggles like making them look right or staying intact all day. “Madison Hartsell said, “I put multiple coats of mascara on my lashes, but I curl them a couple of times before, and it usually just stays unless I get my eyes wet.” There is a solution to this universal issue, like getting a waterproof mascara to solve this. Overall, mascara gives many girls an easy and comfortable way to enhance their lashes and feel more confident without the hassle of false lashes.

But overall, everyone has different opinions and preferences when it comes to lashes, whether they choose natural lashes, mascara, or fake lashes. Nissy Rodriguez explained, “ I wear lashes because I want my lashes to look darker and fuller, honestly, I just like how they elevate my eyes.”

At the same time, keeping your lashes on all day can be a struggle. Gabriella Madison shared, “I still haven’t cracked the code to make my clusters stay on all day and night, so I usually just carry some lash glue and tweezers just in case my clusters turn against me.”

Leslie Rivera said, “I can definitely feel more confident with lashes, and if I don’t have them done when I leave the house, I feel people will think I look bad.” This shows that lashes can boost confidence, but they shouldn’t determine how someone feels about themselves.

At the end of the day, lashes and mascara should be something people choose for fun and self-expression, not pressure. All girls are beautiful with and without lashes, and confidence should come from within, not just from makeup.
