How to Make Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara Last Longer
Application Tips
- Wiggle the wand at the base of lashes and sweep upward for maximum volume.
- Apply one coat for a natural look or two coats for full drama.
- Use the tip of the hourglass brush to reach inner and outer corner lashes.
- Apply to lower lashes sparingly with the tip of the wand to avoid smudging.
Storage Tips
- Replace every 3 months to prevent bacterial growth.
- Do not pump the wand — this pushes air into the tube and dries out the formula.
