“Beware the ides of March”                “Nothing is good or bad but thinking makes it so”
                            Shakespeare–Julius Caesar                                            Shakespeare–Hamlet

So what is the ‘Ides of March’ really and should we beware? And if so, how much?

The word “ides” comes from Latin for “in the middle of.” So the ides was the exact middle day of each month.

March was the first month of the year in the Roman calendar and as it took our satellite’s phases into account, the ides always fell on a full moon, which gave it even more supernatural clout.

Unsurprisingly, this was the deadline in the Roman age for paying off one’s debts and settling affairs.

As March Mascara Madness continues at Makeup Gourmet, we pay tribute to this literary reference to an historic Roman superstition on this, the Ides of March.

Behold the Ides of March!

“…really makes my eyes pop.” Makeup Gourmet Mascara User

The pursuit for the ‘best’ is an unrequited endeavor.

No matter what you may like, is there something better?

This endless loop is highly prevalent with mascara.

Obviously, everyone has unique needs and expected results, and each mascara is designed to fit a particular criteria.

I believe we give mascara too much credit. We expect the mascara to fulfill our lash enhancement needs.

In my experience, a little technique goes a very long way in making any mascara fulfill your lash enhancement needs.

” …glides on smoothly and evenly.” Makeup Gourmet Mascara User

In that light, the more straightforward  the mascara formula and wand the better.

Mascara that can be manipulated to do many things is my preference.

As we often are doing a different look for day, night, work play etc, having one mascara that can that can deliver a clean lash, a thick lash, a long lash, a false-lash look, and more, is ideal.

Have you heard about Makeup Gourmet’s mascara? It does all the above and more. All you need is a little technique.

Before getting to the technique demo videos, here is one piece of advice.

If you want your lashes to curl up, curl them. Although there is merit to some ‘curling’ mascaras, nothing curls lashes like an eyelash curler.

Final note: Always apply mascara last so no powder products float and stick to your lashes diminishing the light reflective finish of fresh mascara. No one wants an ashy lash.

Thank you for reading.
