The Yves Saint Laurent Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils is engineered for impactful lash enhancement. To achieve the signature high volume and false lash effect, begin by wiggling the nylon fiber brush at the base of your upper lashes. This technique helps to deposit the most product at the root, providing a strong foundation for volume. Gently pull the brush upwards through to the tips of your lashes, ensuring each lash is coated. For even greater impact, allow the first coat to dry slightly before applying a second or even third coat. Focus on building layers gradually to prevent clumping. The non-drying formula enriched with B5 pro-vitamin helps maintain lash flexibility and comfort, making it suitable for extended wear. The 03 Bleu Extreme shade is ideal for creating a bold statement, complementing various eye colors and makeup looks, especially when you want your eyes to stand out. For a truly dramatic effect, apply to lower lashes with a light hand, or skip lower lashes for a more top-heavy, lifted look.
Ensure your lashes are clean and dry before application. Consider using an eyelash curler for an extra lift before applying mascara.
Remove the brush from the tube, wiping any excess product off the rim of the tube to prevent clumping.
For upper lashes, start by placing the brush at the base of your lashes. Wiggle the brush slightly from side to side as you draw it upwards to the tips. This technique helps build volume and ensures even coating.
Repeat on the other eye. For more intense volume and a dramatic look, apply a second coat after the first has partially dried.
For lower lashes, hold the brush vertically and gently sweep it across the lashes, or use the tip of the brush for precise application.
This mascara is generally compatible with most eye makeup products, including eyeshadows, eyeliners, and brow products. If you wear contact lenses, apply mascara carefully to avoid getting product in your eyes. Always consult an ophthalmologist if you experience irritation.
Storage: Store the mascara tube upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Sealing: Always ensure the cap is tightly twisted back on after each use to prevent the formula from drying out.
Hygiene: To avoid bacterial contamination, do not share your mascara with others. Avoid pumping the wand in and out of the tube, as this can introduce air and dry out the formula more quickly.
Replacement: For optimal performance and hygiene, it is recommended to replace your mascara every 3 to 6 months after opening.
