I look like a brainless lunatic every time I'm applying it, but when I close my mouth, I can't do it anymore.

I used mascara for Halloween once and it never occurred to me to open my mouth.

This is a great question that only us girls can appreciate. I have tried to apply mascara with my mouth closed and it was, as you put it, feeling like a brainless lunatic.
The reason it helps to open your mouth when applying mascara is when you do, the muscles around your eyes and cheeks pull down and make it easier to apply the mascara.
It can be done with the mouth closed, although I don't recommend it as eventually you'll end up poking your eye, getting globs everywhere... and just no fun.
I wonder if guys have tricks they do while shaving their faces?

Yes, you can, you just have to be aware of it. Make a concious effort to close it when you notice you have it open! It's possible. But if you're havin trouble, who cares if you mouth hangs open? You may look like a lunatic while you're applying, but ironically enough, once it's applied the mascara will boost you looks!! Good luck with that!

What a great question!! I have always wondered this myself!! Why do we open our mouths when we apply mascara??? I tried it once by sucking my lips into my mouth and holding them tight between my teeth and applying mascara - I was able to do it but it just felt so wrong!! LOL Now I just open my mouth and to hell with it if I look like a lunatic!!

I've tryed and its crazy hard not to look an idiot while putting on mascara but to keep your mouth closed open your jaw just a little where your lips still touch or face your head down while you look in the mirror

My mouth automatically opens when I put mascara on!
If I conciously think "close your mouth!" then I can still apply it no problem... but I never think to do that so I usually put it on looking like a fly trap!

i've actually tried this before and the straight up answer is yes you can apply it with a closed mouth BUT it is easier with an open mouth.

No, I wouldn't even try. Most likely, I would poke myself in the eye because I was concentrating too much on the closed mouth.

I've never really thought about that. I probably do open my mouth when i'm putting on mascara.

I heart it's impossible to apply it with a closed mouth.

Yes. I never open my mouth while applying.
