My eyelashes are pale, not so curly and noticeable.

I will be using the L'Oréal on my right eye (left in the picture) and Too Faced on my left eye (right in the picture).

Layer #1 (L'Oréal): first layer on the eye and it is dark, very pigmented.

Layer #1 (Too Faced): first layer and this mascara is dark and pigmented but it doesn't make my lashes look thick.

Layer #2 (L'Oréal): my eyelashes look pretty good on my L'Oréal eye.

Layer #2 (Too Faced): my eyelashes aren't as good as the other eye.

My eyelashes just look so much better with the L'Oréal mascara.

Update #1 (4pm): my eyelashes have dropped and the L'Oréal side doesn't look as good as it used to.

Update #2 (6:15pm): Both sides have dropped however I feel like the Too Faced hasn't decreased or deflated as much as the L'Oréal side.
