EYELASHES HAVE IT
Bold peepers cue the new trend for more-is-more mascara, writes Sarah Young
For us beauty buffs, clumpy eyelashes are something we have been encouraged to avoid; they signify a poorly designed mascara, an out of date formula or someone who is a little overzealous in their application. All-in-all, they’re a serious no-no. Right?
