Is it trashy to wear mascara on your bottom lashes?

by Kim on November 4, 2008

mascara
christine asked:


I like how it looks either alone or with eyeliner, but I heard someone on here say to never wear mascara on your bottom lashes or you look trashy. Is this true? Also, I've been wearing eyeliner every day for about a year. Would it add the same amount of drama if I stopped wearing eyeliner and just started wearing mascara on the bottom lashes?

i personally think it looks better to wear mascara top && bottom — eyeliner or not

it’s not trashy unless you overdo it. i’ve read both opinions. i think you should try it out and see what works best for you.

Trashy? No.

It’s not trashy…trust me. If it was, my mother wouldn’t do it at the age of 45. lol. I do it, she does it, everyone I know does it. I also wear eyeliner a lot too. Don’t worry.

NOPE…….

Slartibartfast November 25, 2008 at 1:54 am

But I haven’t got any lashes on my bottom

fireandice92 November 26, 2008 at 10:47 am

no, I dont wear it ’cause i have long eyelashes, so i dont need my bottom ones done.

nicholas_mommy420 November 29, 2008 at 12:18 am

I think it is cute! Go for it!

Naw… never heard of it.

amanda December 5, 2008 at 6:19 pm

don’t listen to ppl do what you want but i do every day

jd December 6, 2008 at 1:40 pm

It depends on you eyeliner. I sometimes get my make up professionally done, and they always apply mascara to the bottom lashes

Jen Jen December 8, 2008 at 11:26 pm

Its not trashy at all!!!

I do it and its looks perfect

Just make sure you dont OVER do it

But im sure you dont :-)

daisiemay_22 December 11, 2008 at 10:03 am

I do not wear makeup on a daily basis, but when i do wear eye makeup I wear eyeliner and I use mascara on both bottom and top lashes but I make sure there is no clumps. i don’t think it looks trashy I just think it enhances your eyelashes.

mrsincredible623 December 14, 2008 at 4:34 pm

It is not trashy as long as it is not too much.

Alix{RAWR} December 17, 2008 at 7:05 am

no, wearing mascara on your bottom lashes with eyeliner makes your eyes stand out more.

Hot Quity December 18, 2008 at 2:17 am

It’s OK as long as it’s not blotchy

Stella G December 18, 2008 at 12:10 pm

It depends on how much you put on. Too much and you look trashy and gross.

I would either wear eye liner and mascara only on the bottom lashes or top lashes. I think too much eye makeup is like wearing 4 pairs of socks- just too much!

Vee December 18, 2008 at 5:01 pm

no i don’t think so. i wear mascara just on the top and eyeshadow. or mascara and eye liner

bill December 19, 2008 at 4:39 pm

well im a guy so don’t take makup addvice from me, but i know alot of slutty, trashy girls. i also know great girl. they both wear mascara. i hope this helps.

abashley8777 December 20, 2008 at 12:05 am

No, plenty of people do it. I do it. Just don’t put to much on.
Don’t over do it. : ]

Wearing mascara on your bottom lashes is NOT trashy. Seriously. However, you have to be careful with the eyeliner. Here is what to do. Wear eyeliner on the top… then on the bottom.. just line the outside half of your eye with eyeliner. (Very lightly) Then do two coats of mascara on top and bottom. That should be good. Good Luck

Movie Stars wear mascara on there bottom lashes and they look good. There is nothing trashy with it.

Izzie December 25, 2008 at 4:39 pm

Whoever told you that is full of crap.

Putting mascara only on the top lashes opens your eye up, while putting it TASTEFULLY on the bottom lashes give you a more “doll” look.

Yes, it looks trashy if you pile it on and it looks really chunky, but from what I’ve read, it doesn’t sound like you do that.

It depends if you’ve been wearing eyeliner on your bottom lashes or it only lines your eye lid on top. If it only lines your eyelids on top, then it would be safe to say that if you gradually wound down the amount of eyeliner you put on, and then just used eyeliner.

Good luck & I hope this helped.

muahahahee December 25, 2008 at 6:27 pm

YUPP!! u can get away with a little eyeliner on the bottom and everythin but mascara looks like white trash very much so on the bottom lashes. when u put it on the top lashes and blink a couple times it goes on the bottom alittle anyways and looks fine. =]

Summer Monkey December 27, 2008 at 4:04 am

It’s not really trashy. It’s more the way a person wears it.

acct4em December 28, 2008 at 4:54 am

No, but if you do it wrong you’ll get less of a doll-look and more of a ohmygosh-I-accidentally-put-way-too-much-mascara-on-my-lower-lashes look. Use it sparingly. Too little is better than too much.
And to your second question, yes, it probably would. Many girls overuse eyeliner to make their eyes stand out but dark eyeliner actually makes eyes look smaller. For added drama, use a lash curler.
Good luck!

ToughLove<3 December 29, 2008 at 10:57 pm

I don’t think it’s trashy… when I wear it, it smudges on my skin, though, so I don’t.

My eye make up is concealer, top and bottom black liner like ON my lashes, metallic silver liner over and under my lashes, and mascara on my top lashes.

I have no idea if I’m helping or not. I’m tired. I’m going to bed in a minute!

redhead_zebras January 1, 2009 at 2:49 am

Ok, so here is my advice…I would personally ditch the mascara on the bottom! It will put the scara in mascara!!!! lol sorry about that! Anyway what I was saying, just keep going with the eyeliner. and if you need extra color to your bottom eyelashes just swip them with your eyeliner. But in the end it looks kind of frumpy when you use mascara on the bottom! Good luck!

sophieb January 2, 2009 at 7:51 pm

I’ve tried wearing mascara on my bottom lashes and it looks hideous. Maybe on models it would look better because they use heavy stage makeup and so light in color that it covers fully dark circles and any sign of starts of dark circles. But for normal everyday wear for a young person it looks bad, looks like a hooker. Even eyeliner on the bottom lashes is too much for a young person, it gives you raccoon eyes. It’s like all you see is a set of raccoon dark eyes coming at you instead of a pretty face.

The Pirate Queen January 2, 2009 at 7:56 pm

Of course it’s not trashy. What a ridiculous notion your friend has! You can wear eyeliner and mascara both above and below the eye. Be careful not to wear too much black eyeliner if you’re wearing black mascara. Wear different color eyeliner depending on what your eye color is: Use slate, blue, grey and plum eye shadows for brown eyes; pink, salmon, mauve and brownish pink for green eyes; and brown, camel and taupe shades for blue eyes.

Kiersten D January 4, 2009 at 10:27 am

lol i wear it top and bottom.. it makes my eyes stand out more.. and when its on the bottom i usually dont have to wear eye liner really bc it already stands out.. i’ve heard you are not suppose to.. not for any reason i dont think that could harm you just because it was made for the top but w.e i use it for the bottom to lol

Jennifer W January 5, 2009 at 4:45 am

It is not trashy….I have never heard that before. As long as you don’t over-do it…whichever combo you like will look great!

Julzy January 5, 2009 at 12:16 pm

no, it makes your eyes stand out more

abe January 7, 2009 at 6:30 pm

no, its not trashy

live.laugh.love January 10, 2009 at 3:16 am

if you put it on your bottom lashes lightly, it can look okay.
i personally have found my eyes to look a lot more shapely and beautiful with maskera just on top, but occasionally i do on bottom and it looks fine. it CAN look very trashy so be careful. if you wear no eyeliner but still wear mascara on the bottom lashes, it will most likely look pretty trashy.
i hope this link helps:

glamourgirl2000 January 10, 2009 at 10:01 am

GOOD QUESTION! ok well, it dep. on what type of mascara u use and how much you use of it. if your going to put bottom lashes than you need to wear some sort of eye- shadow underneath it. it doesnt have to be too much, but minimum, so that you dont look like some sort of Betty Boop. umm.. it also dep. on the occasion, and wear your going everyday to a casual place then no. also, it dep. on how big you eyelashes are.umm, just where minimum eyeliner if your putting on bottom lashes, or none at all, with a nice neutral, or whatever eyeshadow. or just eyeliner, and no bottom lash mascara.

Aries January 11, 2009 at 9:21 pm

no I don’t think it is just don’t use too much.

melissa_soleil January 11, 2009 at 9:52 pm

It’s not trashy -Unless you go Morgan Fairchild (in the 80’s)on us!

valiant January 14, 2009 at 4:03 pm

Mascara can be worn on the upper and lower lashes, especially at night, you can wear only upper lash mascara during the daytime especially if you are wearing rose tone eye shadow or blush, the rose colors make the lower lashes look like they are protruding and it is not flattering, you may substitute light brown eye pencil as close to your lower lashes instead of mascara, it works for me! When applying mascara to the lower lashes make sure you wipe the wand so it can be clean, the accumulation of mascara on the wand will give you that trashy look which you do not want, also wait a minute till it dries before applying more, it will become bulky if you don’t. Mascara is always fashionable try different brands till you find one you like.

kookie January 15, 2009 at 1:21 pm

no not at all…..just dont put too much!!!

Rainbow_76 January 17, 2009 at 6:18 pm

No way on this earth, sugar! Go for it!

karrr January 20, 2009 at 8:35 pm

noo its deff NOT trashy
and no i dnt think it would look as dramatic if you just put mascara on and no eyeliner

~*Thai Dancer*~ January 21, 2009 at 6:41 am

its not trashy! i do it all the time

gurlygurl20000 January 23, 2009 at 11:40 pm

I don’t think so. I think it looks weird to wear it just on top and not the bottom too.

*soccer star* January 25, 2009 at 4:49 pm

I think a more natural look is prettier and so i think you should:

1. Wear mascara on your top lashes only.
2. Draw a thin line with eyeliner just above your top lashline.
3. Line your bottom inner rims with eyeliner.

Hope this helps!
