If your unruly lashes refuse to hold a curl after you apply mascara, try coaxing them into being a lot more cooperative by starting with a thin layer of waterproof mascara first. Then, follow it up with your regular go-to mascara.
Starting with the waterproof formula must help your lashes hold their curl longer and prevent them from swiftly falling out of attention.

This was a recent discovery for me, because something odd happened to my lashes when I got pregnant…
All of a sudden (seriously, it was like it happened overnight), mascara stopped working, and by “stopped working,” I indicate none of them — absolutely NONE — would hold a curl. They lost all respect for my lashes and my Shu Uemura lash curler.
I’d curl my lashes and apply a layer of mascara, but less than a minute later, every little lash would be straight as a board again.
Bluh.
So I asked on Facebook for tips, and a terrific mascara angel suggested this one, LOL! It’s really helped with the curling situation, and it doesn’t seem to matter which waterproof mascara I use, whether high end or drugstore. It just works.

Give it a go sometime if you ever find yourself “lash curl challenged.”
