I would suggest using an eyelash curler. They're not as scary as everyone says as long as you don't yank on them or pinch your eyelid, plus they really make the difference. I use Maybelline's.
If you're still not into that I know either CoverGirl or Maybelline have a mascara wand that curves up like a smile. It's supposed to lift the eyelashes and I guess it works pretty nice. A tip for no clumping is using an old mascara wand that's cleaned off to "comb" through freshly-coated eyelashes.
If you wait for the mascara to dry you'll get flecks all over your face. I've been doing it for years and have never had to deal with clumps. (.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
