There was a time when I thought I’d found my Perfect Mascara<\/a> and I declared my search ended. As fate would have it, another quite perfect mascara entered my world. Unfortunately, it too is a terribly pricey mascara – don’t you hate it when that happens?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This new contender for the “Perfect Mascara” throne is the RMK Separate Curl mascara<\/strong> which weighs in at a hefty RM125 a tube. And I thought the Shiseido one was pricey \ud83d\ude1b Unfortunately, it is a really good mascara on many counts.<\/p>\n The RMK Separate Curl mascara is a curling mascara that is waterproof and helps your lashes curl and stay curled all day. It delivers on its promises and the only real complaints I’d have about it is the price and the packaging.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The formula is a little wet, but the stopper in the tube is really wonderful because the brush exits without too much mascara gooped on it. The only goopy bit is right at the end, which you can easily wipe off. Also, there isn’t too much formula on the brush and this means that it does not deposit too much product on your lashes and weigh it down.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n RMK Separate Curl Mascara curved brush<\/em><\/p>\n The brush is a typical bristle brush, that is slim and curved, so you get shorter bristles on one side, and longer bristles on the other. The bristles are lovely. They grab my short lashes very well, and separates them without clumping. I can’t use this straight on my lashes and expect them to hold up a curl like a dolly’s lashes. I do have to curl my lashes first. The size of the brush is a good one for those with small eyes or short lashes … like moi! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n Then I fit the curved side of the brush against my lashes, wiggle it and coat my lashes with 1 layer of mascara, and then touch up the sides that might not be caught at the first go. I find this method allows the curved brush to coat my lashes and hold up the curl better. Following RMK Makeup Artist Toru-san’s method of mascara application<\/a>, I don’t do my 2nd layer immediately, but let it dry and go on to do my eye makeup before coming back to mascara again.<\/p>\n When I apply my 2nd layer, I use the longer bristles to brush at the lashes, to generate length. When you apply your 2nd layer on dry lashes, your curled lashes will not droop.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
