It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

This has to be a typo, right?

L'Oréal has an expanding network of 13 evaluation centers around the world created to observe grooming and ponder a variety of burning questions: Do national differences exist in primping styles? Would women in Japan and Europe, for instance, stroke on mascara with the same lavish hand? (The answer is that in Japan, women apply mascara with an average of 100 brush strokes compared with Europeans, who are satisfied with 50, a difference noted by ethnologists for L'Oréal.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm still stunned at 50. I think I'm at around 20, and that's for two coats.

It could explain some stuff.

I'm at, maybe, 3-5? per eye?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

At 100 brushstrokes worth of mascara, or even 50, I'm not sure I'd be able to keep my eyelids open.

100 brush strokes! Even fifty?! More like three, if I miss a spot or lose an eyelash.

My face hurts. My sinuses are stuffy, they are just aching. I think I can blame it on the whiplash weather. It feels like someone is attacking them with steel wool.

Art Crawl!!!

When I wear mascara, it's got to be less than 10 strokes altogether.

50-100 -that's CRAXY!

Punishingly Intricate

Whoa. I use like 2.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Maybe the more brushstrokes one uses, the more likely one will answer surveys about mascara?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Maybe they all have thin sad little eyelashes, whereas mine are fluffy and large even without the mascara?
