Q1: Which mascara is best for short lashes?

A lengthening mascara is a good starting point for short lashes. Look for one that separates individual lashes rather than simply adding a lot of product.

Q2: Which mascara is best for thin lashes?

A volumising mascara can make thin lashes look fuller. Build the effect with light coats so the lashes do not become heavy or clumpy.

Q3: Is waterproof mascara good for summer?

Yes, waterproof mascara is useful in hot and humid weather. It is designed to resist moisture, sweat and tears better than regular formulas.

Q4: Is tubing mascara better than regular mascara?

Neither is better for everyone. Tubing mascara suits those who like separated, defined lashes, while regular mascaras offer more variety in volume, curl and dramatic finishes.

Q5: How do I stop my mascara from clumping?

Use a small amount of product and build it slowly. Wipe excess formula from the wand before applying and separate lashes between coats when necessary.

Q6: Can I wear mascara without eyeliner?

Yes. Mascara alone can add plenty of definition to the eyes, especially when you want a quick everyday makeup look.

Q7: How do I remove waterproof mascara?

Use an eye makeup remover made for waterproof makeup. Hold the soaked cotton pad over your closed eye for a few seconds, then wipe gently rather than rubbing the lashes.

Q8: When should I replace my mascara?

Replace it when the formula changes noticeably or reaches the recommended period after opening. A mascara that has become dry, unusually thick or smells different should not be kept in use.
