I have a mascara question!?

Question

is wearing lots of waterproof mascara daily bad for your eyelashes??

also, whats the best eye makeup remover?

Answer 1

Waterproof mascara holds curls better than washable, but it also has more wax, which can sometimes dry out your lashes. It normally isn't bad for your lashes unless you don't remove it completely at the end of the day, but if you do seem to see things like lashes falling off, turn to a washable mascara, or a great eye makeup remover. Something I don't like about waterproof mascara is that if you use an eyelash curler and you don't completely clean yesterday's waterproof mascara off, you get lash marks on your curler's pad, which I strongly dislike.

I really like Neutrogena's Oil Free Makeup Remover, but the best one out there that I know of is probably Clinique's Eye & Lips makeup remover, however ... It's $16.50 a bottle, very expensive unless you're willing to spend the money.

Lots of normal mascara is a lot better, but keep in mind that a lot of coats will clump and more than likely smudge, but the good thing is it's easier to remove. I normally just clean off my mascara with a good cleanser.

Answer 2

It isn't bad for your lashes but it could be bad for the skin around your eyes because you have to work harder to get it off.  A good make up remover is the neutrogena one in the purple bottle.  It works really well and is really cheap.  try not to tug and pull the sensitive skin around your eyes.

Answer 3

Wearing waterproof mascara every day is probably not very healthy for your eyes. When you have to rub hard to get it off it irritates your eyes. Try switching to regular mascara and only where waterproof when it's raining or you will be swimming or sweating or crying. Also a good *cheap* make-up remover is Vaseline. All my friends think it is nasty, but it works very, very well, and it is much cheaper than actual makeup removers. It also gets off waterproof mascara very quickly. You just dab a little on your finger and the put that on your lashes, then take a tissue and wipe downward. It works well!

Answer 4

its not that bad, but i wouldnt recommend it

it is harder to take off, thus makes you rub your eye more.  and once you get older, youll regret it because your wrinkles will come at a way earlier age.  also, rubbing it harder makes your eyelashes fall out.

i used to wear it daily until a makeup artist told me to NOT do it.

use it on occasions, like when it rains, when you're going to go to the beach, or when you are giong to be excercising because the sweat will make non waterproof smudge.

for the eye makeup remover, i use clinique. it is in a blue bottle and i think it works pretty well

Answer 5

Waterproof mascara made my lashes break off because I rubbed too hard when I was trying to remove it.  I don't bother with it anymore.  It isn't worth the trouble or the time it takes to remove it properly.

Answer 6

Waterproof puts a strain on the lashes .  Use non waterproof for daily wear .  If you must use waterproof, invest in eye make-up remover .

Loreal Eye & Lip Make-up remover  

Answer 7

Its not bad but the thing is if you try to take it off without a make up remover it can damage your lashes. For example, trying to take it off with just water and soap will have you pulling on your lashes to get it off which will rip out some of your eyelashes. Use almay eye make up remover. Its better to get an eye make up remover as opposed to a regular all over make up remover because it will concentrate on removing the waterproof products. Hope it helps.
