Mascara issues?

Are you just like me always wondered why in summer and on warm holidays my mascara always works better than in wintertime?! Grrrr!! I don’t use a lot of make-up to be honest. Only some eyeshadow, mascara and eyeliner. No foundation, only some brown powder in winter. But why does my mascara get so lumpy when it’s almost finished or when getting colder; what can I do about it? How can I apply my mascara the best way on my eyelashes?

What is the Mascara Solution?!

After a lot of frustration, I did the following:  I put the mascara in a glass of hot almost cooking water for 10 minutes before applying. This really helps a lot and you can even use the mascara for much longer, which saves you money and environment before buying a new one! And I figured out that the more expensive brands are not always the best, my mascara cost 3,95 EUR and works perfect!

Be careful with the material you put under water, it could melt if the water gets too hot…..

Good luck! More beauty tips here. And check my Instagram for latest posts!
