What is the shelf life of this mascara?
It is recommended to replace your mascara every 3-6 months for optimal performance and hygiene.
Is this mascara waterproof?
The mascara is not explicitly advertised as waterproof, so it may not withstand exposure to water or humidity.

Troubleshooting
Mascara is clumpy or dry.
Ensure the tube is closed tightly. Avoid pumping the wand. Replace the mascara if it's past its recommended use date.
Mascara smudges during the day.
Avoid applying too much mascara to the lower lashes. Ensure the mascara is completely dry before touching your eyes. Consider using a setting powder under your eyes.
Difficulty achieving desired volume or length.
Experiment with different application techniques. Apply multiple coats, allowing each to dry slightly. Consider using an eyelash curler before applying mascara.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No specific setup is required; the mascara is ready to use upon purchase. Ensure your lashes are clean and dry before application.
Application:
- Hold the wand horizontally.
- Firmly push into the roots of your upper lash line.
- Wiggle the wand left and right as you pull towards the tips.
- Apply additional coats as desired, allowing each to dry slightly before adding more.
Care:
