What They Say: "Cake mascara evokes the era of glamorous beauties from Hollywood's Golden Age. Achieve this look by creating silken, evocative lashes with Paula Dorf Cake Mascara. This flake-proof, water-resistant, never clumpy cake mascara creates glamorous lashes as fine as silk."

I have been searching for a good mascara ever since I started wearing makeup.  My eyes are dry and sometimes itchy.  Mascara generally adds to the itchy factor and makes my eyes water, giving me the football player effect before the appetizer arrives.  Lovely.

I was supposed to attend a formal wedding of one of my best friends, and wanted to look great.  I went to Sephora and was introduced to cake mascara, which is much less likely to flake and cause irritation.  As promised, it doesn't cause nearly the level of problems that I've had with other mascaras to date.  However, it is very difficult to apply properly (although it becomes easier with practice), so a great deal of care must be taken to assure your eyelashes are covered. 

This mascara only comes in "Raven", which I would describe as a soft black color.  Perhaps not as natural as a brown mascara, but great for a night on the town. 

Tips:  Place the applicator brush under a small stream of running water and then blot both sides lightly on a Kleenex.  Brush very lightly over the top of the mascara cake and "paint" your eyelashes.  The results are more dramatic if you curl your lashes prior to painting and by painting both sides of the upper and lower lashes.
