May 15, 2017

Chalk it up to my years spent dancing onstage with a full smoky eye and false lashes, but I never feel completely ready without some form of eye makeup. Even in class, I always wanted to add definition to my eyes and give them a more wide-awake appearance. To stop flakes and raccoon eyes from ruining your lengthened lashes while you dance, try one of these waterproof options.
