8 Eye Popping Mascaras

Truth be told, I have never been and never will be one to leave the house with out a slick (or three) of mascara. I mean, I'm all for embracing natural beauty but when you're as fair haired as I am (I talking so pale your makeup free features blend in to one), mascara isn't an option, it's an essential.
