I have been using mascara every day for over 20 years and i have had no probs ..
What i would suggest is to get a new one every six months and never share your eye make up with anyone as this can cause cross contamination ..
Also do not pump the mascara as this forces in air into the container which will dry it out ..

Wearing mascara is OK everyday as far as I know. What may be bad for your lashes is not cleaning it off thoroughly before going to bed so find a remover you are happy with. Also, why not have a "mascara free day" (a bit like an alcohol free day, lol) and just comb through your lashes then curl them when, say, you are not planning to go out or see anyone.
Mascara has always been my Number One as far as make up goes so I recognise the naked terror of not having eyelashes worth batting!

no, it's not bad for you, what ends up being bad for you is if you forget to take it off at night before you sleep. This can cause the mascara to smear onto your skin (hence racoon eyes in the morning) which ends up getting into your pores and causing more fine lines and wrinkles, and even blackheads on your skin. Makeup is not bad for you, but forgetting to wash and moisturize and keeping your face clear through the night is. So, let them lashes reach the galaxies. If you still are hesitant, nowadays for about $50 to $100 a pop, they do eye-lash extensions... then you wouldn't even need mascara.

I have been putting on mascara almost every day for the past 10 years, and have seen no change in my eyelashes.

As long as you take the old stuff off, first it's not bad for your eyelashes. It's not good to put new mascara on over old mascara.

I have been wearing mascara since i was in senior school(i'm now early 30's) and my eyelashes are ok. I have always wiped my eyemake up off before i go to bed with eye cleanser each night.

No but make sure you wash it off every night before bed. And also dont use mascara that is more than 2 months old, as its a breeding ground for bacteria and can cause eye infections. But only when its old and grotty!

I use it every day and have done for years. It has never done mine any harm. It is important to remove make-up every night though (even after a night on the tiles an you just want to fall into bed). Remember the golden rule- Cleanse, Tone, and Moisturise.

Too much is never good. Give your eyelashes a break from time to time. Even if they are tiny, try to alternated with eyeliner to make your eyes pop.

use eyelash curlers instead.. although a lot of people use mascara most days i don't think it's bad for you it's not ideal but that's your choice.
