I’ve seen a fair share of mascara hacks in my time as an eyelash-enthusiast.
There’s the to wiggle or not wiggle debate, wearing some blue mascara to make those blue eyes pop, heating up the eyelash curler (read: torture tool) with a blow dryer to hold the curl for longer trick, using that brown mascara that’s collected dust in the bottom of your makeup bag as a brow thickener and setter, or my personal favourite, restoring old, dried mascara by soaking it in a pot of hot water. I’m not going to lie, that one blew my mind.
But your mascara has been keeping a secret from you. Among its many talents of lengthening and volumising your lashes, and maybe even dabbling in thickening the look of your brows, your mascara has another life.
