Why??? Why do we open our mouths when putting in/taking out contacts, or when ladies (and some guys, hehe) put on eye makeup?!?! It's interesting to me...but nobody seems to know why!

So people can do the same thing when they are looking at us. Haven't you ever been putting on your makeup and you look at your friend that's watching you and they also have their mouth open......that's so funny.

My guess is because we are trying to keep our eyes open wide so it is natural to open our lips as well, same motion. Next time try closing your mouth and see how hard it is. lol

It opens the eye wider, tightens the facial muscles.

Prolly the same reason we scrunch our heads down when it's raining. Just a reaction - we don't stay any drier, do we?

its reflexes....the human facial muscles are inter connected and sometimes, an expression is not completed unless it is complimented by another.
