Mascara is perhaps the most popular cosmetic product in a ladies cosmetic bag. Except she lipstick. Due to its high popularity, mascara raises many different questions. One of them is due to the fact that the tool sometimes spreads. Why is this happening?
Leaked Mascara: Causes
There are several reasons, according to experts.
- Mascara often spreads due to its composition. More specifically, due to its poor stabilization. What happens in this case? The coloring matter dries poorly and begins to spread at the slightest contact with the liquid. It is not necessary to be exposed to rain or other precipitation. Even a small amount of moisture secreted by the eyes is sufficient. In this case, there is no other solution than to replace the leaked mascara.
- Individual characteristics. If for some reason the skin around the eyes has a certain tendency to be oily, this can cause the carcass to spread. Experts recommend using dry shadows and at least a little powdering of the eyelids, about to apply mascara.
- Use of cosmetics. If a girl applies a special product to the skin around her eyes, it can also cause leaking mascara. That is why it is better to replace fatty creams with light gels, enveloping the skin with a gentle veil, and not covering it with a thick film.
Of course, when looking at a photo of leaking mascara, no one wants to become the owner of a similar make-up. That is why makeup artists recommend the use of special fixing means. They are sprays that are applied to the face to fix makeup.
What to do?
- If moisture got on the mascara, and the product spread, it is recommended to use a cotton swab. It must be moistened with micellar or plain water. Then gently spread the spreading mascara and allow the skin to dry a little. After this, you need to slightly powder your face in order to mask the traces of the spreading mascara.
- If you have watery eyes, you can use a cotton swab to prevent moisture from getting on your eyelashes. It absorbs excess moisture and allow you to keep makeup.
