Mascara is a great way to help thicken, lengthen and embolden your eyelashes in order to bring more attention to your eyes. It’s made from black pigments bonded together by a polymer and thickened with various waxes or oils. It’s a go to makeup that even if you have time for nothing else, mascara and lipstick go a long way! Because of the oils and waxes, if your lashes are coming into contact with your skin and natural skin oils then mascara will typically smudge and leave marks on your skin.
