...get covered and not my skin? I've only been using mascara for 4 years (I'm 44) so maybe I just haven't gotten it yet. I see women with mascara on their lower lashes only and not a black line under their lashes on the skin like mine always seems to turn out like. I want mine to look like theirs. How do I put it on without getting it on my skin?

u need eyelinder and eye shaddow!!! its gunna bring out yoooouuurrr eyes!

first off try using a waterproof mascara. then when you use it wipe the brush with a paper towel of some sort to get all the excess of it. also, i would try not the mascara all the way to the tips of your bottom lashes and let it dry before leaving and check for smudges. tyr not to rub your eyes during the day.
hope i helped you!

Take your time!!!! I know what you mean. The lower lid is really pretty if you do it nicely. What I do is apply mascara to each lash separately since there arent many down there. Just use the tip of the wand. If you do get mascara on your skin, use a Q-tip and some babyoil or eye remover and remove carefully!!

let it dry before blinking
