why do women always have their mouth open when they put their mascara on?

Answer 1

TWO THUMBS-UP for a great question !!!
CHECK IT OUT, Red...this is how a real woman applies mascara !!!

Applying the mascara

Before applying mascara, OPEN YOUR MOUTH to relax the orbicularis oris & consider curling your lashes with a lash curler to open up your eyes. This is helpful to frame the eyes, especially if your lashes are short.

To curl eyelashes with a lash curler your should start by squeezing in "steps" from the lashline to about 3/4 of the way toward tips.

To apply mascara, place your finger about mid-lid or on your eyebrow and pull up in order to hold your lid taut.

Holding the wand horizontally, sweep on mascara from roots to ends. Apply only to lash tips at first. Roll the wand slightly as you move, wiggle the wand slightly from side to side, along the lashes to distribute mascara evenly.

Allowing lashes to dry between coats thickens the lash while avoiding clumps. Let the mascara dry for a 4-5 minutes. Don't hurry, relax and wait. This point is where the wet mascara can smudge easily and leave messy marks where you don’t want them. Check your work before you begin the second coat, blinking can cause the wet lash ends to leave tiny mascara marks on your lids. Clean with a Q-tip or disposable applicator as you go, as needed.

Once the first application has dried, apply a second. For thicker lashes, carefully apply mascara to the upper side of the lashes as well. Wait and let it dry before you continue.

DO NOT:

Do not CLOSE YOUR MOUTH..<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Do not overload your eyes with mascara in hopes of creating lusciously thick lashes. Result, a look that is thick, smudgy, and unattractive.

Don't apply a second coat until the first one has fully dried.

Don't apply a mascara that's too dark. If you've got blonde, red, or brown hair, stick with a brown or darker brown shade. Using a dark black color will create a look that is way too dramatic.

Answer 2

I was wondering this recently. I think it's because the process of opening your mouth stretches your cheeks and makes the bottom lashes stand further from the skin, making the mascara easier to apply without getting it on your skin.

Answer 3

A lot of the nerves that are in your eyelids are joined to your mouth. There for when you open your eye to put mascara on.......your mouth will open as well .

Answer 4

When applying mascara, women are concentrating so much on what they are doing, that their other facial muscles relax, including the ones around the mouth. When you relax the mouth muscle (orbicularis oris), the lips will automatically part slightly. Hope this makes sense. Take care : )

Answer 5

When applying opening the mouth stretches the face and you are less like to get mascara in unwanted places.

Answer 6

When applying mascara the mouth opens and this causes the face to stretch so its easir to apply

Answer 7

Surprisingly enough, there is a reason. Though this reason doesn’t work as well as we think it does, having our mouth open does have a positive effect. The purpose of this is to stretch the skin out below our eyes, making it hard to create smudges.

Answer 8

Cos its a natural thing for some women as it opens their eyes up?!?! i duuno to be honest I can honestly say I never ever do it so the people who do have their mouths open when doing theirs probably think people like me are the weirdo's!

Answer 9

As you try to keep one eye open while applying mascara, you trigger a nerve that opens your mouth. I've read this somewhere, but I forgot which health book it came from.

Answer 10

LOL, that is such a cute question. My boyfriend says I stick my tongue out too. I think it's because it widens the eyes or something. I don't know... maybe it's habit. and yes you can put it on with your mouth closed! it just feels funny, and you have to concentrate on keeping your mouth closed. haha
