Tomorrow is the last day of this feature and I will be looking at foundations.

Today I am sharing my top 5 favourite mascaras. I find that I need a couple in my makeup bag as certain occasions require certain lashes. For example…

It’s a weekday and I am working from home – I’ll probably go with the Bobbi mascara in dark brown as it’s pretty natural. It’s a Saturday night and I am going out with the girls, it’s Benefit BADgal Lash Mascara all the way! Important business meeting and it’s raining outside (how unusual!) Sue Devitt will keep my peepers from looking racoon-esq.
