There's a right and wrong way to remove excess mascara from the wand. The right way, is to wipe the extra product off the mascara wand gently using a tissue paper. The wrong way, which most of women do, is to rub the wand bristles against the opening of the mascara tube. This will make the product accumulate around the opening and dry out each time you use it.
4. Using mascara instead of eyeliner.
This is one of the mascara hacks that can save you, if you ran out of gel or liquid eyeliner! Use your mascara as an alternative to gel or liquid eyeliner, by slightly dipping a slanted makeup brush into the mascara tube, then apply the product to your eyelids. Stay close to your lash lines and avoid the waterline!
