if you want to start off on the mid-price items, try majolica, or any over the counter brands like l'oreal, maybelline, fasio.
is your skin suitable for european or japanese products? this you have to find out for yourself and buy the appropriate products accordingly.
fasio, majolica majorica has good reviews about their mascaras (smudge, water, oil proof)
maybelline's Volum' express turbo boost has been getting good reviews from Kelvin in NRWZD, so maybe you can try that.
some rave brands for mascara would be helena rubinstein, lancome, ana sui. if you want thicker eyelashes, can try the deja vu fiber wig. watsons got sell, $25.
l'oreal has a basic and good eye/lip makeup remover (blue and white liquid). can try that. of course fancl or shu uemura would be the good brands to try makeup removers
for curler, if your eyes is like mine, not deep set, then look for curlers that are not very curved. try koji (can buy from sasa), everytime got mentioned in NRWZD oso...
if yours is stubborn, cannot curl easily, try investing in a heated eyelash curler. after mascara, when its half dry, sweep the curler along your eyelashes and you will get very nice curled lashes. errr i think can get in sasa too?
if you want double eyelid, use eye glue. koji have a good one, very ez to use. stickers never work for me at all, but you can try that?
next time progress further liao, you can put on eyelash primer. a lot of japanese OTC brands got eyelash primer ley. even canmake got eyelash curler in mascara type. its transparent liquid, coat on liao then your eyelashes will curl by itself. works for me only 50% ley...chey!
i not expert on MU ah. just that i kaypoh want to try everything (greedy).
