I have trouble using many types of mascaras because they dont do a thing for my small lashes, it just gets all gooey and clumpy. People have been saying that it has to do with what cultural type you are sounds crazy right?

Please reply with suggestions and tips thanks!

I have very short, straight eyelashes that are resistant to curling & are blond at the tips. To make matters even worse, most mascaras tend to flake off, leaving them looking worse. I have tried at least 30-40 mascaras (maybe even more), and have never found one that works as well as the customized mascara I got from Reflect, an online store. You fill out a questionnaire & then they will formulate a mascara based on your answers. FYI - always check that you want the waterproof one - it works much better. Plus I've been able to get the waterproof mascara off with just my cleanser. Another benefit is that you can usually find a coupon code for $15 any purchase, which brings the cost of the mascara down to about $6.60 - and that includes shipping. Additionally, they have a guarantee that if you don't like the product, you can either get a free reformulation or your money back - so you can't lose! This mascara stays on my lashes all day - no flaking or smudging - and it also keeps them curled. I really like it.

Reflect's custom mascara is not sticky at all - it has a nice brush wand that separates the lashes & the mascara goes on very smoothly. But you have to fill out a questionnaire - they make up each mascara as it's ordered, to fit your specifications.
