Why do women always open their mouth when they apply eye make up?

Question

eye line or mascara?

Answer 1

It helps widen your face; try opening your eyes as wide as you can, keeping your mouth closed, and you will see that your face does not stretch nearly as much...the smoother your skin during application, the smoother your eye makeup will appear.

Answer 2

Like with Mascara, it tightens the skin under your eye. So that way you get it where u want it and not where you don't want it.

Answer 3

I do it because when I first watched my mother apply make-up when I was a lil girl, she always opened her mouth to apply the eyeliner and lip liner....now I do exactly what she did.

Answer 4

to increase the access you have to the eye...you tend to stretch the skin of your entire face when you open your mouth that way...

I guess it's a defence thing...less likely to poke your eye out when it's open like that due to your mouth being open too.

Answer 5

It sretches the skin and area around the eye so that the makeup can be applied evenly, without blotches.

Answer 6

is just a face muscles common behavior, I guess is just like having a long night drinking with your friends, when you get home around 3am, there's no lights, you don't wanna turn 'em on cuz you don't wanna wake up anybody, you know is dark as hell, you know you can't see anything but your eyes are open, like I said common behavior LOL.

Answer 7

It's the same when you put on your contact lens. Or it could be natujral instincts when you are trying to do something with precision. Like iceing a cake

Answer 8

it makes ur eyes open wider and also increases the space in the under eye area.. and therefore facilitates easy application

Answer 9

When you put on your eye makeup so you don't get bags and for your cheek makeup your jaw line is your guideline

Answer 10

That way we don't get wrinkles around our eyes. I don't know the exact way we do, but we do get wrinkles when we are older if we don't open our mouth.
