Mascara-smear horror (aka: outdoor-to-indoor transition eyelash thaw)

It makes you look and feel oogly and scary after all of the care taken to look beautiful and sweet... Eyelashes icicled over by the condensation of your own morning breath melt as you make the outdoor-to-indoor transition at school or work.

Mascara-smear is common to every seemingly respectable woman as they strike up a conversation with other respectable people around them. Their confidence of a beautiful appearance identifies their obliviousness to looking like a psychotic, snot-faced, horror-flick-scream-princess.

To tell or not to tell? That is the question. I recommend that during a daytime encounter, the answer is 'probably'. We certainly don't need to be trying to talk to that with a straight face all day. This person should be held accountable to look after their creep-eyes and make themselves presentable. They should make a point to stop in the bathroom and clean that mess up off of their frozen cheeks. In one fell swoop, gone is all of the good concealer/blush/bronzer that underlays the smear.

An experienced mascara wearer will use the lash tip dab-dry method during the melting process before the face-smear issue even arises. Or, better yet, avoid mascara application altogether until arrival at their destination.

As for evening occurrences of this unfortunate situation - all is fair game, so to each their own. If some chick didn't think of this before she went out and happens to be sporting the appearance of the '2 a.m. Drunk Chick' - yet it's only 7 p.m., too bad for her.

Good luck Ladies.
