The Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Waterproof Mascara in Black is designed for long-lasting wear, providing an intense black finish that elevates your natural lashes. Its key benefit is its exceptional staying power and lengthening effect, though waterproof formulas typically require a dedicated makeup remover for effortless cleansing.

The Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Waterproof Mascara excels in creating a 'sky high' lash look that lasts. Its waterproof nature makes it an excellent choice for long days, humid climates, or emotional events where smudge-proof wear is crucial.
Application Tips for Optimal Performance:
Prep Your Lashes: For best results, ensure your lashes are clean and dry. You can curl them before applying mascara if desired.
Wiggle and Lift: Hold the brush horizontally at the base of your lashes. Wiggle the brush slightly from side to side as you sweep upwards from root to tip. This helps coat every lash and distribute the product evenly.
Build Gradually: For more dramatic volume and length, allow the first coat to dry slightly (but not fully) before applying a second or third coat. Avoid applying too many coats to prevent clumping.
Lower Lashes: Use the tip of the brush or hold it vertically to carefully apply mascara to your lower lashes for definition.
Ideal Scenarios:
Outdoor Activities: Perfect for beach trips, pool days, or exercise sessions where you need waterproof makeup.
Long Workdays: Ensures your lashes look fresh and defined from morning to night.
Special Occasions: Provides confidence that your mascara won't run, even during emotional moments.
Note: The 'flexible brush' mentioned in the key features is designed to bend to coat every lash from root to tip, adding both length and volume. For removal, an oil-based cleanser is highly recommended to dissolve the waterproof formula without harsh scrubbing.
Initial Setup (First Use): Upon first opening, the mascara is ready for use. Ensure the wand is fully coated with product by gently swirling (not pumping) it inside the tube.
Compatibility:
This mascara is designed for use on natural eyelashes. It can be worn with contact lenses, but individuals with very sensitive eyes should patch test or consult with an ophthalmologist.
Makeup Compatibility: Works well with most eyeliners, eyeshadows, and primers. If using a lash primer, apply it before the mascara.
Care and Maintenance for Longevity:
Prevent Drying: Always ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use. Air exposure is the main cause of mascara drying out.
Avoid Pumping: Do not pump the wand in and out of the tube, as this pushes air into the tube, drying out the formula and potentially introducing bacteria.
Storage: Store the mascara at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or extreme heat.
Hygiene: Mascara is a personal hygiene product. Do not share it with others. Replace your mascara every three to six months, or sooner if it changes texture, smell, or if you experience an eye infection. If the product appears dry, do not add water or saliva, as this can introduce bacteria and compromise the formula.
