With mature lashes, it\u2019s less about piling on product and more about placement. \u201cI focus more on lifting at the root and gently wiggling the wand upward to create separation and openness in the eye,\u201d says Grays. She also recommends keeping it light: \u201cI avoid over-layering\u2014one to two coats is usually enough, because too much product can make lashes look heavy and close the eye instead of opening it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><h2><strong>What kind of mascara won\u2019t irritate sensitive or watery eyes?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou want formulas that are lightweight, non-flaky, and easy to remove,\u201d says Grays. \u201cTubing mascaras are amazing for this because they slide off without rubbing, and gentler formulas with conditioning ingredients tend to be more comfortable throughout the day. Anything that doesn\u2019t crumble or migrate under the eyes is key, especially if there\u2019s watering,\u201d she says. It also helps to stick with formulas that have been specifically tested for sensitivity. \u201cI recommend mascaras that are ophthalmologist-tested and hypoallergenic. They usually have conditioning ingredients like jojoba oil, peptides, beeswax, and hydrate the lashes beyond just each use,\u201d adds Wray.<\/p>\n<p><h2><strong>Meet the experts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><h2><strong>How we test and review products<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>We always enlist a range of testers for any review, but mascaras are another story. While some can be used across different lash lengths, thicknesses, shape, colors, and concerns, many are created with specific consumers and their needs in mind. When reviewing tools, we also take into account testers\u2019 experience. For instance, a new, innovative mascara may feature an industry-leading formula, but if the wand still needs some tweaking to prevent clumps and webbing, we have to consider this when determining whether it is worthy of a recommendation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AccordionItemContainerButton Key ingredients: D-panthenol, Ceramide-R, beeswax, carnauba Ophthalmologist-tested: yes Shades: 8 Frequently Asked Questions Why do I need a different mascara as I age? \u201cAs you get older, your lashes tend to become drier, more brittle, and a little less dense,\u201d\u2014which can be especially noticeable if you\u2019re dealing with thinning lashes\u2014so the mascaras that once [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1483,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1482","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-beauty"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sasgai.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1482","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sasgai.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sasgai.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sasgai.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sasgai.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1482"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sasgai.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1482\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sasgai.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1483"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sasgai.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1482"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sasgai.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1482"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sasgai.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
