I want to look natural and not overly done but after a certain age I need assistance so I look for products that are effective, easy to use and time-saving. I run a business so my time is extremely limited. I do not want to fuss over my makeup or skin care routine but I want substantial results that make me feel confident about my look. Confidence is important at any age and a sign of self-love for me.

Whether we liked it or not we live in a society where women are judged for their looks. I am not here to author a philosophical essay but to share products that I feel work for me.

One of these products is the extreme lengthening mascara by Dr. Lara Devgan, a noted plastic surgeon based in New York City. The black carbon-based pigment gives my eyelashes and eyes a dramatic look. I like the lengthening of my eyelashes using this product.

I use 1-2 coats for a more natural look and 3-4 coats when I want to achieve a more dramatic look. Being a surgeon Dr. Devgan produces products that have been assessed and work for me. It takes the guess game out for me and allows me to use a mascara in this case that gets the job done.
