Mascara mess? no more!

I wanted to share this little tool with you guys- it's so useful to prevent mascara from smearing when you are putting it on.  I know a lot of people have a hard time using mascara because they get it all over the place.  One area that's extremely hard is the bottom lashes as mascara tends to adhere to oils in the skin and give you those unwanted "racoon eyes."
Here's my trick.  It's called "Mascara protector" by Tweezerman. **update--get it for $5.95 ($8 at tweezerman.com)  at Amazon:
Tweezerman Mascara Protector

From Tweezerman:

Place directly below lower lashes while applying mascara to shield under-eye make-up, foundation or blush from ugly smudges. To shield eye and brow make-up, just flip tool and place over your brow bone. Voilà, now you can breezily brush mascara through upper lashes without botching artful eyelids.

I've found them to work great but you have to keep them clean and hold them in place long enough for the mascara to dry.  They work so well if you really want a strong eyelash look.  Try them out, you might want a pair.
