"I'm naturally blonde and have blonde eyebrows and eyelashes. The one most profound response I usually get is 'Woah, where'd your eyelashes go?' If anyone out there reading this has blonde eyelashes, y'all know the struggle. They're nearly invisible! If I’m not donning mascara, I'm usually asked if I'm feeling okay, if I'm sick, or tired. If I am wearing mascara, people generally think I'm not wearing any makeup and think my eyelashes are naturally black.

You gotta be fricking with me if you think my eyelashes are naturally ‘very black’ (as the shade of mascara I use is worded). However, if I actually put on some eye-shadow or lipstick, I'm usually met with 'what's the special occasion?'

More compliments on a face that's made up rather than bare. I think it's important to mention that I have very little interest and skill in the realm of makeup, which is generally where my lack of makeup that I wear comes from. Who knew that eyelashes had such an effect on my appearance! My only makeup is mascara, and without mascara, my eyelids seem to appear bald."
