To use this mascara, start by wiggling the brush at the base of your lashes and then gently pull it through to the tips. This helps to evenly coat each lash. For more volume, you can apply a second coat once the first one is dry. When you're done using it, make sure to close the cap tightly to prevent it from drying out. Keep it in a cool, dry place. If you get the mascara in your eyes, rinse immediately with clean water. Remove the mascara at the end of the day with a gentle eye makeup remover.
