Why do girls open their mouths automatically when putting mascara on?

Question

salaam

Answer 1

Moves the cheek down slightly and lifts the lower lashes slightly away from the skin.  Just makes it easier to put mascara on.

Answer 2

Our subconscious 'makes' us do this. what it does is stretch the facial muscles so that eyes are wide open(more spare application) and the face moves less so less mistakes.

Answer 3

I don't know but I'm glad it's not just me! I think it's so we can open our eyes wide to get to the bottom of the lashes! I catch a glimpse of myself doing it and know I look ridiculous but I just can't stop it!  

Answer 4

Lol i guess its a kind of habit, i tend to open my mouth automatically when feeding ma lil cuzzin bruv Beautiful toddler cos when he was a baby i used to show him how to eat LOl

Answer 5

lmao idk it just happens, i think so we put it on properly and it doesnt go wrong lol

Answer 6

hahaha...sooo true

Answer 7

it's a habit... i guess

Answer 8

apparently no girl can put mascara on without  her mouth open closed lmao.

Answer 9

When a person opens their mouth, it closes the tear duct glands. The reason many women open their mouth when applying mascara (most of the time without thinking) is a self-protective response. Just the same as many guys do when trying to get something out of his eye.

Answer 10

I do it because I am concentrating I suppose

Answer 11

Haha i don't know actually, maybe we're hoping for it to taste nice?

Answer 12

It is nearly impossible NOT to. I have researched that. lol

It is like a reflex, like closing your eyes when sneezing.

Answer 13

Lol, I've noticed the same thing everytime I go to the girl's restrooms. Honestly, nobody uses the toilets--just the mirror to "fluff" their hair and put makeup on.

Well, I don't know the real reason cuz I don't wear makeup even though I'm a girl...but I guess it's an instinct, or an old habit.

Answer 14

It helps widen your face; try opening your eyes as wide as you can, keeping your mouth closed, and you will see that your face does not stretch nearly as much...the smoother your skin during application, the smoother your eye makeup will appear

In the case of Muslim girls(the ones who dont wear bin liners) they are waiting for their brothers(or other close relatives) to shove their under sized appendage in.
