Mascara is safe to a certain extent if used properly. It's a foreign chemical and anything that was not made from your body can make you sick or allergic etc. First of all don't poke your eye with it and try not to get it into your eyes.
One of the main things I have heard is that there is a certain chemical that protects the mascara from "expiring" meaning after a certain time period after opening the product this chemical deactivates thus making it easier for bacteria to grow in it.
Remember do not keep your mascara for a long time I think it is about 3 months. Similar for other makeup products.
Mascara can certainly make you look pretty, of course you probably already do. It elongates your lashes, and some curve them and brings out your eye color. Best color to use is black. If you are interested in bringing attention to your eye color you should try the new almay cosmetics.
I have blue eyes and use a color combo or 2 shades of blue and one brown and a golden brown eye pencil, plus my mascara is a dark shade of blue... not to mention this makeup is hypo-allergenic. It actually works.
Well good luck, experiment a little with your make up, just remember that the best look is natural (do not pile the make up on ), and always remember to take care of your skin.

I think as long as you stick to a color that is close to your hair color and don't put a lot of coats on it will look good. It won't do anything to your skin because it only goes on your lashes, but don't share mascara with other people because you can exchange bacteria that can cause an eye infection, and throw away you mascara every 1 1/2 months so that bacteria doesn't have the chance to grow in the tube.

Mascara is only a cosmetic - not a skin treatment. In fact, quite a few women are allergic to it.
The best mirror is a friend's eye, as the proverb goes. Why don't you ask somebody who knows you if mascara suits you?

It's fine if you remember to take it off every night, and throw away your mascara after 2 months.

It does make you look prettier and your eyes mider. It's not bad for your skin, but it's not like it makes it smoother or anything like that. Its jsut neutral, it doesnt take, it doesnt give. But, if you use it after 6-3 monthes from when you bought it, it can infect your eyes.

It depends on the shade..... my idea is to do it by your hair color.
Brown,Black-Black
Red,Blonde-Brown
Light Artificials-White
Dark Artificials-Black
"Artificials" r like unnaturally dyed hair
It is ok for your skin....... it will make you more pretty
