AUTEUR ARIEL: Clinique x The Wink

If there is one thing my eyelashes are in dire need of, it's volume. Because of my asian-ness, I was ~~cursed~~ blessed with very thin, very minimal lashes. For a while I thought my lashes needed length so I would buy lengthening mascaras--I looked like I had spider legs stuck to my lash line (not a good look). So after clicks and clicks of research, I realized what I needed to focus on was obtaining mascaras and products that thickened my lashes. Falsies often make my eyelids feel crowded and heavy so when I want to go for a more natural, fresh look, I use Clinique's Chubby Lash Fattening Mascara!

I recently fell in love with this mascara and the effect it has on my thin asian lashes! It's brush has a million tiny bristles on it so when you swipe it on, it coats every single lash you got. Not only does it go on thick, but it fans out your lashes (instead of clump them together) so you can achieve that bold, bright-eyed look! I would highly recommend this mascara to my thin lash sisters (and even you blessed thick lash amigas). Give it a try and let me know what you think!
