I literally have trouble applying mascara to my lashes for 7 years because they are so straight and long that I cannot lift them and make them look beautiful no matter what I try. When I use an eyelash curler (if that’s a word for that) they lift perfectly and no matter how much mascara I apply after lifting them up they always fall out after 10 minutes and they are straight again like hell. I am wondering what kind of mascara should I use to make them stay curled up at least a bit. It’s a makeup that I use every day and it frustrates me. I need answers from you, my lovely ladies!

I have straight lashes too, medium length. For me I would use 1. Eye lash curler 2. Mascara primer 3. Mascara 4. If my lashes are weighed down I would use curler to curl my lashes slightly again.
According to my experience, the more wet or weighing the mascara is, the more likely my eye lashes would be weighed down. So I prefer to open a product and wait about 1 month to let it dry a little bit.
I have the same problem 🙁
I find that waterproof mascaras hold curl better
