I've had the same problem here. I've found that curling them first, and then using
Shiseido Mascara Base underneath your regular mascara works wonders. One coat mascara base, let it dry for 30 seconds, then apply 2 coats mascara works best.
NOTE: do not use Diorshow with this, it makes it clumpy, I think it's something with the formula, Diorshow works best alone..
Mascaras I've found work pretty well with the base are.. Benefit Bad Gal Mascara, MAC Fibrerich, and plain old drug store Maybelline Volume Xpress...but BADGAL is the best with this.
It's gonna be a some work to remove, but I use the MAC Cleansing Oil, which is pretty good, you have to wash twice though, and follow with cleanser. But it's worth it..
Hope this helps.
