Mascara is one the makeup must-haves! It’s the finishing touch for the perfect eye makeup. And some women feel naked without it! Here are things you should know about mascara

It has expiration date. The average life span of mascara is 3-6 months. To help you avoid eye irritation or infection, get rid of your old mascara once 3-6 months after opening it.

Remove it thoroughly. Not only it makes you look like a racoon but not removing your mascara thoroughly – leaving it overnight make you susceptible to infection and lashes fall out.

Don’t pump the mascara. Don’t pump the wand in and out of the bottle because this pushes air into the tube, which will make the mascara dry out faster, causing clumping and flaking.

Don’t curl your lashes after applying mascara. This is a big NO- NO. After your mascara dries, it makes your lashes harder and more brittle, so if you curl them they will probably break

Waterproof mascara is for everyday use. Save the use of waterproof mascara for special occasion or teary moments because using it everyday is not good for your lashes. The chemicals in waterproof mascara is stronger and also the continuous tugging at the lashes can cause them to become weaker and eventually make them fall out.

Open your mouth. Isn’t it annoying when keep blinking when applying your mascara. The secret, open your mouth. When your mouth is open wide, you will notice that you will hardly blink. Try it!

Apply 1-2 coats only. Too many application can make your mascara dry, causing clumping and that unnatural spidery look. If a single swipe of mascara isn’t giving you the volume your lashes need, try 3D Fiber Lash Mascara

Wiggle from side to side. Rather than just sweeping upward, you should wiggle the wand from side to side at the base of your lashes, then sweep up. This way, you don’t have any clumps and your lashes look thicker and longer.
