Endangering Pandas

Avoid this common beauty blunder

It's happened to nearly every girl. She thought her lashes looked sexy with oodles of mascara but on drop of rain was all it took to ruin the effect. Or maybe she'd just bought a chic new eyeliner pencil and was having fun trying it out. Sadly, she went a little too over the top and ended up looking like she'd spent the last hour in a boxing ring.

The "panda eye effect" is when eye make-up causes the eyes to look like they have thick rings of black around them and it's not pretty.

Smudged or running mascara is a common culprit of the panda look. To avoid, opt for waterproof and smudge proof mascara formulas. Try L'Oreal Voluminous Volume Building Waterproof Mascara with Volume Maximising Brush for $6.99 from www.walgreens.com for a waterproof lash look that doesn't compromise on style.

i really actually thought this was about animal testing or
something. wow i feel dumb! :S

I REALLY wanna try the new XXL mascara. that looks sooo good.
Something else that works for the eyeliner is don't make a
continuous line. Instead you take your time and slowly make little
dots close together. It just seems to work better for me.

I use Sky High Curves Mascara and that NEVER Bleeds, quite to the
contrary... I have issues trying to get it off. And I also use
Cover Girl perfect point plus eye liner and it's great! It never
needs to be sharpened because you simply twist it and it comes out
sharp. Then on the other side of it, it has a make-up sponge thing
that helps make the line more defined.
This is the PERFECT article, but sometimes girls love the panda
eye effect and when they wear it on purpose, it's kind of
annoying. It's one of my pet peeves. =(
