Less really can be more


'Less is more' is usually not in my arsenal of mottos. But, I know in the summer months it is wise to lighten up when it comes to makeup. To that end, I have discovered a way to keep the drama in my lashes (I'm a volume mascara junkie) while using less mascara.

Blacker than black mascara is the key. Several lines carry a color of mascara that is a shade darker than traditional black. Sounds crazy, but I bought Lancome's Hypnose in deep black a few days ago. 

I've been using less mascara and haven't had to sacrifice on the drama factor. It's a great recipe for summertime looks when excess mascara can lead to an overdone look.
