When I last reviewed Imju’s Fiberwig mascara, I wasn’t too impressed with it, the main problem being that, although it did lengthen my lashes fairly well, it pulled the curl right out of them.

After writing yesterday’s review on Tweezerman’s Fastlash, though, I had a bit of a revelation – and I’m kind of embarrassed that I didn’t think of it before. Why not try using Fiberwig just like Fastlash, I thought: i.e. applying it to the top half of the lashes, over my usual mascara. So I did. And guess what? It worked like a dream!

I curled my lashes as normal and applied a couple of coats of Fiberwig on top of my usual Lancome L’extreme . L’extreme holds a curl all day long, and lengthens pretty well too, but the application of Fiberwig on top of it took it to the next level of "length", creating that much talked-about "false eyelash effect" I so covet. I actually think I would buy this again now that I’ve discovered a way of wearing it and still having curly lashes – and it’s a helluva lot easier to use than Fastlash!
