Performance & Real-World UseThe Yves Saint Laurent Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils is engineered for impact, delivering a noticeable transformation for your lashes. Its formulation, combined with the specially designed nylon fiber brush, works to create a dramatic, voluminous effect suitable for special occasions or when you desire a bold eye look.### How to Achieve the False Lash Effect1. Start Clean: Ensure your lashes are clean and dry before application.2. Wiggle and Sweep: Place the brush at the base of your upper lashes. Gently wiggle the brush back and forth as you sweep upwards to the tips. This technique helps to coat each lash fully and build volume from the root.3. Layer for Intensity: For an even more dramatic effect, allow the first coat to dry slightly (about 30 seconds) before applying a second or even third coat. Focus on the tips of the lashes for added length.4. Lower Lashes: For your lower lashes, use the tip of the brush and apply a lighter coat to avoid clumping.5. Brun Genereux Shade: This shade (02 Brun Genereux) offers a rich brown alternative to classic black, providing a softer yet still intense definition. It can be particularly flattering for lighter eyes or for a sophisticated daytime look that still carries drama.

Setup, Compatibility & CareProper application and maintenance will ensure you get the best performance and longevity from your Yves Saint Laurent Mascara.### Application Tips* Primer Optional: While designed for standalone dramatic effect, a lash primer can be used beforehand for enhanced volume or length if desired, but is not strictly necessary.* Pairing with Eye Makeup: This mascara pairs well with various eye makeup looks, from smoky eyes to winged liner. The "Brun Genereux" shade can complement warm-toned eyeshadows beautifully.* Contact Lenses: The non-drying formula is generally suitable for contact lens wearers, but always consult your optometrist if you experience irritation.### Product Care & Maintenance* Avoid Pumping: Do not pump the mascara wand in and out of the tube, as this pushes air into the container, causing the mascara to dry out faster.* Seal Tightly: Always ensure the cap is twisted on tightly after each use to prevent air exposure.* Storage: Store your mascara in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.* Hygiene: To prevent eye infections, replace your mascara every three to six months, or sooner if it starts to dry out or change in texture. Never share mascara with others.* Removal: This dramatic mascara may require a dedicated eye makeup remover (biphasic or oil-based works well) to ensure thorough and gentle removal without tugging on lashes. Soak a cotton pad with remover, hold it on your closed eye for a few seconds, then gently wipe downwards.
