To maximize the extreme volume and dramatic definition of your Yves Saint Laurent Lash Clash Mascara, follow these steps for optimal application:
Preparation: Ensure your lashes are clean and dry. For an extra lift, you may curl your lashes beforehand.
First Coat for Volume: Start by placing the brush at the base of your upper lashes. Wiggle the brush slightly from side to side as you pull it upwards towards the tips. This technique coats the lashes thoroughly from root to tip, building significant volume.
Define and Separate: For the lower lashes, use the tip of the brush or hold it vertically to lightly coat each lash, focusing on definition without excess product.
Second Coat for Intensity (Optional): If you desire even more intensity and volume, apply a second coat while the first is still slightly tacky. Focus on building volume at the roots and extending to the tips. Avoid too many coats once the mascara has fully dried, as this can lead to flaking or clumping.
Finishing Touch: If necessary, use a clean, dry lash comb to separate any lashes that may have clumped together, ensuring a fanned-out, defined look.
This mascara is ideal for creating a bold eye look suitable for evenings out or when you want your eyes to be the focal point of your makeup.
First Use: Open the tube and gently remove any excess product from the brush on the rim of the tube. Avoid pumping the wand in and out, as this pushes air into the tube, drying out the mascara faster.
Optimal Application: For best results, apply to clean, dry lashes as described in the Performance & Real-World Use section.
This mascara is generally suitable for most individuals. However, if you have particularly sensitive eyes or wear contact lenses, observe for any irritation upon first use. Info needed: Specific ophthalmologist testing details.
Storage: Always ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent air from drying out the formula. Store the mascara in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
Hygiene: For eye health, mascara should be replaced every 3 to 6 months after opening, as bacteria can accumulate in the tube over time. Do not share your mascara with others.
Avoid Diluting: Never add water or any other liquid to thin out dried mascara, as this can introduce bacteria and compromise the formula's effectiveness.
