"I think of you lovely ladies every morning when I stand in front of the mirror for what feels like three whole minutes, applying layer after layer after layer of mascara. After every brush of the dainty black stuff I wonder: how many swipes do you guys normally do?Now don&amp;#x27;t get me wrong: I&amp;#x27;m not laying it on thick and heading into the office with raccoon eyes or anything. One of my favorite mascaras, Cover Girl Exact EyeLights, is on the lighter and airier side which is what makes it my go-to mascara, Monday through Friday. (Plus, the EyeLight hues are meant for certain eye color shades--the blue eye mascara is almost a deep indigo-black, which looks more natural against my pale (read: pasty) skin than some of the deeper, more intense black hues.) After the first two coats of the mascara, my lashes don&amp;#x27;t look any different than they do when I roll out of bed, but once I get to the tenth or eleventh swipe, POW! Suddenly the lashes wake up and glam up. It&amp;#x27;s pretty crazy to see that transition happen each and every morning. Of course, with a different, heavier mascara I need fewer coats, but it got me thinking about the &amp;quot;two coat&amp;quot; mascara rule: does anyone else go way outside the lines here or do you stick to the trusty two coats? Or do you have a sliding scale based on which mascara you are using? Anyone else have a favorite mascara that goes on light (and semi-unimpressively) at first, then a few coats later, turns into total awesomeness? Take the poll then weigh in below!
