Random Masacara


retouched, originally uploaded by webwandering.

Now this is just a little post about putting mascara on whilst on public transport. I've been noticing it a lot lately. Ladies applying mascara while on a crowded bus or tube. What gets me is the amount of mascara they put on.

The other day I watched a girl on my bus put on mascara from the time I got on, at Adelaide Grove until Shepherds Bush Central line station. That's a long way, about seven minutes! It takes me under a minute to put on my mascara. I coat my lashes so they look dark, but I don't want spider lashes so I keep it to a coat and a half at most.

I wonder if I am just not putting enough on? Do they know something I don't about the proper application of mascara? I don't like putting make up on whilst on the public transport, maybe a bit of lip gloss or a quick powder. This mascara thing is just beyond me......

  1. I've noticed this too! I didn't know if I was just lazy, but I'm also a 'coat and a half' girl. I think spiders wouldn't suit me...

  3. In my heart I know that a coat and a half is best :)

  4. I was also wondering how you got this photo of a girl on the tube doing her makeup without her thinking you;re weird! Or, is it a friend posing for you?

  5. It's amazing how they do it without coating their face or poking themselves in the eye with the brush. I often have trouble when I'm standing in front of the mirror!

  6. i have to admit now that yesterday i put on mascara on the bus, as I seemingly paniced when realising I hadn't any on. Why the panic? i don't know, but i did wait each time the bus stopped to put a coat on :P
