Some of us are blessed with long, luscious lashes, and some of us aren’t as lucky.

For one, mascara can make your eyes look bigger, which is quite an attractive feature.

Plus, now there’s mascara for every dream lash you could possibly want.

If you want longer lashes, choose a mascara with nylon fibers that act like mini extensions.

There’s also a regular option and a waterproof option for almost all mascaras available for purchase.

Sadly, though, nothing in the world is perfect, because even waterproof mascara has its flaws.

Compared to regular mascara, waterproof products tend to have extra ingredients such as isododecane and cyclopentasiloxane.

So, what helps them stick to your lashes longer might actually damage your lashes in the long-run.

Therefore, using waterproof mascara might increase your risk of aging around your eyes.
