Hmm, I have curly hair too, maybe that's why my lashes curl? Cool i never actually thought of that one
though my hair's a dark brown, so my lashes are black already
(my eyes are my fav part of my face..... everything else is MEH but)
What's your usual makeup routine?

If I'm doing a full makeup routine I'll use moisturizer, primer, liquid foundation, blush, eyebrow pencil, eyelid primer, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, and translucent powder to set it all. (I rarely use anything on my lips because it looks and feels weird to me, but on the rare occasion I do you bet it's something very close to the natural color of my lips, lol.) But this is mostly for nicer occasions as most days I am too lazy to do all of this. I won't leave the house without eyeliner + mascara and filling in my eyebrows at the very least tho because I look about half my age without any makeup on.
i rarely wear makeup anymore but when i do
i put primer on with my fingers, then use a buffing brush to apply foundation, then translucent powder, then a tiny bit of light brown eyeshadow at the corners of my eyes, then if i feel like wearing eyeliner i apply gel eyeliner, then volumising mascara, then lengthening mascara and then brow mascara
lastly if i'm wearing lipstick i do lipliner and then lipstick
the whole process takes like 15 minutes

1. Apply mineral foundation
2. Curl eyelashes
3. Apply lip balm and lip gloss
If my skin is dry and flaky (which it sometimes is due to my acne gels) I'll apply some primer. My acne has improved to the point where I might just dust on a thin layer of foundation to even out my skintone, which is great because I hate wearing heavy makeup. I might put on some mascara if I need to look less unphotogenic. I don't wear anything during the summer.
I have a lot of old, gently used makeup I need to throw away.

It took me years to figure out what worked on my face and I actually enjoy using makeup now. I usually use a moisturizer with SPF on my face then buff on a mineral foundation (I love Tarte's Amazonian Clay). Then I'll apply a light blusher to the apples of my cheeks and sweep it back toward my hairline. I finish with some brownish black mascara and lip balm (usually Revlon's Just Bitten kissable balm stain in honey, which is really similar to my natural lip color but just a shade darker). Using all mineral/loose powder products means it takes me less than 5 minutes to do my full face which I love!
If I know I'll be in photos that day, I'll add some bronzer and a dainty winged liner. I love the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner because it has a brush tip so it goes on really cleanly and you can avoid having to try to make your eyes even because they come out so easily.

I don't wear makeup...
A little brown eyeliner just around the outer corners of my eyes, brown mascara just on the top, foundation, & nude lipstick..but sometimes i only wear foundation. I like the natural look 
i only wear makeup if i go out somewhere. makeup is supposed to enhance your natural beauty, not cover it up!
but i wouldnt judge anyone for wearing more?if that's your style then rock it makeup can be really fun to experiment with haha

If I bother to wear makeup/have time left I usually use concealer (around my eyes, on my nose and on my chin...), powder, black mascara (my eyelashes are dark brown anyway), curl my lashes and use red coloured cherry lip balm ^.^

Oooooh I love makeup I wear it everyday, here is my look I typically do
1. First I just shade in my eyebrows a little, just color in the sparse areas and create a really nice shape
2. I put concealer under my eyes to brighten it up
3. I put white eyeshadow on my eyelid, and then take a mauve matte color on my crease and a very dark brown to create a shadow effect
4. Use a cream eyeliner on my eyelid, and typically create a wing
5. Use a eyeliner pencil and line my water line
6. Curl my lashes and apply mascara
7. Apply blush
8. Put on tinted lipbalm
WOW seeing all that it looks like I have a cake face, but I really don't XD hahaah, it typically only takes me about 20 minutes to do my makeup!!
My products in order are anastasia beverly hills brow whiz, makeup forever concealer, naked palette, tarte amazonian clay eyeliner, makeup forever eyeliner pencil, maybelline volume express mascara, benefit cosmetics coralista blush, and burt's bees tinted lip balm.

I don't know where you live, but if you can find E.L.F brand near you (or order online) they are cruelty free and mega affordable! I don't think all their products are vegan, if that matters to you, but they are cruelty free. I haven't tried everything from them but I tried a few things and they all seemed to have nice color payoff and good staying powder. Hope that helps!

The world is quiet here.
When I do go places I like using fit me liquid foundation and dream matte powder, they work wonders :3 and for eyeliner I always use gel eyeliner that comes with a little brush, it's so much easier then pencil and lasts all day. I usually always wear mascara and red 24-hour lip stain. My favorite eyeshadow and the only one I use is the naked 2 palette :3 it's great, all natural colors too. ^^'

i wear makeup every time i need to step out of my house. (unless if i’m going to get groceries or something quick) i use moisturizer, sunscreen, primer, foundation, concealer, powder, blush, eyebrow pencil, eyebrow gel, and lipstick/lip stain/lip pencil. i used to wear eye makeup but i like wearing a more natural look now.
Haha, I'm mildly obsessed with hair and makeup, and even more so with products (VIB status all the time)
Start with eye and foundation primer because I don't want my work to fade in the wind/heat (primer potion and porefessional)
Then I'll do a lightly smoked eye with Naked 2 palette, very natural with a bit of emphasis on the crease because I love that look
Then conceal my massive undereye bags I've had since birth so I don't look punched in the face, Rimmel wake me up is a miracle worker on the cheap
then cause I hate heavy foundation in the summer I use bare minerals matte foundation all over
lightly bronze with Too Faced Sun Bunny on nose, tops of cheek, and around hairline
blush with too faced raindrops on roses
black winged liner because I feel naked without it, use stila stay all day liquid liner pen
finish with better than s*x mascara by too faced
quick spritz of urban decay all nighter to seal look
Seems like a lot but takes under 12 :3

suprisingly I'm not into lips past fresh sugar balms for moisture, but if I'm going out I'll do a bold deep red like bite's zivoli
