The Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara excels at delivering a fanned-out, voluminous, and lengthened lash effect that opens up the eyes. Its distinct brush is key to its performance, designed to reach and coat even the smallest lashes.
Follow these steps for optimal lash definition and volume:
Prep Your Lashes: For maximum curl and lift, use an eyelash curler before applying mascara. Ensure lashes are clean and dry.
Remove Excess: Gently wipe any excess product from the mascara wand on the rim of the tube. This helps prevent clumping.
Wiggle and Sweep: Place the concave side of the brush at the base of your upper lashes. Wiggle the brush gently from side to side as you sweep it upwards to the tips. This technique helps lift and coat each lash.
Fan Out: Rotate the brush to use the longer bristles to separate and fan out lashes, especially at the outer corners.
Build Layers: For more drama, apply a second coat while the first is still slightly wet. Avoid letting the first coat dry completely to prevent stiffness and flaking.
Lower Lashes: For lower lashes, hold the wand vertically and gently sweep across individual lashes.
Avoid Pumping: Do not pump the wand in and out of the tube, as this pushes air in and can dry out the mascara faster.
Focus on the Roots: Coating the roots thoroughly provides a better base for volume and holds the curl.
Quick Drying: This mascara tends to dry relatively quickly, so work efficiently when applying multiple coats.

Proper care extends the life of your mascara and maintains its performance.
Close Tightly: Always twist the cap tightly after each use to prevent air from drying out the formula.
Store Properly: Keep the mascara stored upright at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or extreme heat/cold.
Do Not Share: Mascara is a personal item. Sharing can transfer bacteria and lead to eye infections.
Replace Regularly: Mascara should be replaced every three to six months, or sooner if it changes in consistency, smells unusual, or if you've had an eye infection. This prevents bacterial growth.
Avoid Adding Liquid: Never add water or any other liquid to thin out dried mascara. This can introduce bacteria and compromise the formula.
