Common questions
How often should I replace mascara?
Every 3 months. Mascara is the makeup product most prone to bacterial growth, after 3 months, eye irritation risk increases significantly.
Curled-lash or natural-lash formula?
Curled-lash formulas (Lash Idôle) hold curl all day. Natural-lash formulas (L'Oréal Paradise) give softer, fluttery lashes. Choose by the look you want.
Can I use the same mascara daily?
Yes, but replace every 3 months and don't share tubes. Waterproof mascara needs a proper oil-based remover, daily waterproof wear can damage lashes.
