Mascara, before or after applying false eyelashes?

Posted by Alicia Tessaro on

This is a question that divides the community of beauty addicts. Should you apply your mascara before or after applying your false eyelashes? Do you have to apply mascara at all? In this blog article we will dissect all aspects of the problem to find the most suitable answer for each one.

First of all, some will wonder what is the use of mascara when talking about false eyelashes. The answer is simple: we all have different eyelash fringes as well as different colored eyelashes and not all of them go naturally with false eyelashes. For example, a person who has very light eyelashes will notice directly that their natural eyelashes are too "showy" next to the false eyelashes. In other cases, for example, the implantation of the eyelashes is such that they are naturally very plunging, which will prevent a natural result because real eyelashes will easily be differentiated from false eyelashes. In both cases, mascara will help harmonize the overall look and blur the line between natural lashes and false lashes.

Once the usefulness of mascara is understood, one naturally wonders whether to apply mascara before or after the false eyelashes. The answer is simple: it depends. Indeed, when you use false eyelashes such as those of Pausy, you can expect to reuse them at least 60 times, however it is obviously more complicated to keep your false eyelashes in good condition if you apply mascara on top. In addition, removing make-up from the eyelashes remains a delicate maneuver, because a fatty substance could alter the shape and durability of your false eyelashes, even if it is a micellar water.

On the other hand, adding mascara on top of false eyelashes can help create a more natural look that blends in better with the mass of natural eyelashes.
In this case, the choice of mascara will be crucial! Let me explain: a very lengthening / volumizing mascara will tend to clump and alter the shape of your false eyelashes, you risk "doing too much". It is preferable to opt for a mascara that will simply add pigment to your lashes but without adding substance.
