Can I Put Mascara on After a Lash Lift?
Absolutely! If you’ve had your lashes lifted and curled, you can still use mascara to give your look more drama. Mascara is such a great way to pull your look together; why would you want to give it up?!
Some lash lift technicians don’t recommend applying mascara straight after your treatment. And some may tell you to completely avoid waterproof products. If you’ve had a lash lift, always check with your salon first before applying any product to your eyes.
Does Mascara Come Off When You Sweat?
Whether you want your mascara to last through a hot, sunny day or a workout, keeping mascara from sweating off can be a bit of an issue.
Of course, some formulas cling more to the lashes than others, so it’s good to look for something that’s been designed not to budge.
Priming your lashes before the sweat onslaught will help keep your look pulled together. You could also try a waterproof mascara if you definitely don’t want things to budge.
An oil-based mascara is less likely to sweat or rub off, but mostly, your result comes down to personal preference and trial and error. We’ve curated some of our most-loved, highly rated mascaras and listed them below for you.
How Long Does Mascara Last Opened?
Honestly, you want to toss your mascara out and pick up a new one before the 4-month mark passes. Once you’ve opened a tube, your mascara is susceptible to dust, dirt, and dreaded bacteria.
Your eyes are one of the most sensitive parts of your body, so it’s important you keep your eye products in pristine condition.
If you keep a mascara for months and months (yes, we’ve all done it), you could be constantly transferring bacteria from your eyes to your tube and then back to your eyes again.
Kinda gross, huh? The upside of frequent replacements is that you get to try a new mascara every few months, guilt-free!
How to Get Really Long Eyelashes with Mascara:

From waterproof mascaras to mascara for sensitive eyes, you'll feel confident enough to flutter your lashes when you pick any one of the above formulas.
