FAQs

How do I achieve the best 'false-lash effect' with this mascara?

For a dramatic false-lash effect, wiggle the nylon fiber brush horizontally at the base of your upper lashes to deposit product, then sweep upwards slowly. Apply 2-3 coats, allowing each coat to set for a few seconds before applying the next.

Is this mascara waterproof?

The product description does not specify if this particular mascara is waterproof. It is designed for volume and a false-lash effect.

How long does this mascara last on the lashes?

While wear time can vary by individual and activity, the non-drying formula is designed to maintain the dramatic volume and false-lash effect throughout the day under normal conditions. Info needed: Specific wear time in hours.

Can I use this mascara with contact lenses?

Yes, this mascara is generally suitable for contact lens wearers. However, if you experience any irritation, discontinue use and consult an eye care professional.

How do I remove this mascara?

To remove, use a gentle eye makeup remover, preferably an oil-based or bi-phase formula, applied to a cotton pad. Gently press onto your closed eyelid for a few seconds, then wipe downwards without harsh rubbing.

What does B5 pro-vitamin do for my lashes?

B5 pro-vitamin (Panthenol) is known for its moisturizing and conditioning properties. In this mascara, it helps to deepen and darken the lashes, contributing to an instantly thicker appearance and a non-drying feel.

Troubleshooting

Mascara appears clumpy after application.

Wipe excess product off the brush before applying. Apply in thin coats, allowing each coat to dry slightly before adding the next. Try wiggling the brush at the base of the lashes and sweeping upwards slowly.

Lashes don't look thick enough.

Ensure you are coating lashes from root to tip. Apply a second or third coat for more dramatic volume, focusing on the mid-lengths and tips. Make sure the mascara isn't old or dried out.

Mascara is smudging under my eyes.

Ensure your under-eye area is dry and free of excessive oil or moisturizer before application. You might also try setting your under-eye area with a light powder. Allow mascara to dry completely after application before blinking vigorously or touching your eyes.

Mascara feels dry or is difficult to apply smoothly.

Check if the mascara is past its recommended shelf life (typically 3-6 months after opening). Ensure the cap is always tightly sealed when not in use. Avoid pumping the wand, as this introduces air and dries out the formula faster.

To begin, ensure your lashes are clean and dry. For an extra curl, you may use an eyelash curler before applying mascara. Apply the Yves Saint Laurent Mascara by placing the brush at the base of your upper lashes and gently sweeping upwards to the tips. For the lower lashes, use the tip of the brush for precise application. This mascara is generally compatible with most eye makeup products, such as eyeshadows and eyeliners, and is suitable for contact lens wearers, though individual sensitivity may vary. To maintain product hygiene and performance, always replace the cap tightly after use to prevent drying. Replace your mascara every three to six months to avoid bacterial buildup and ensure optimal formula consistency.
