Okay, we all know how excited I am about the new lip gloss and mascara. These products have been more than two years in the making – hey, I wanted to do it right! So I was all comfy and happy with putting them up on the site, and then a customer called and our conversation had me realize that some people need assistance with putting on their mascara!
This customer told me she can’t wear any mascara because it smudges below her eyes almost instantly. I asked if her skin was oily. She said yes, but not excessively oily. Long story short, I came to find out she wears foundation – oil-based foundation! So now she has oily skin over which she is applying more oil. Hello! Anything is going to stick to that and smudge. We talked and I suggested she not apply the oily foundation to the area below her eyes (the powder foundation will do a better job of covering up her undereye circles anyway). Plus the powder foundation will help to control her natural oilyness. If her lashes do happen to touch the skin below the eyes, the powder will also help to continue to “set” the mascara. I’ll bet her smudgy problems go away now!
You see there, with any problem it helps to talk it out. So who wants to chat with me about my workaholic issues….? anybody….??
