Brilio.net - Mascara streaks on the face are often a disturbing problem, especially when the makeup is perfect with a neat complexion. Mascara that smudges or accidentally touches the skin can leave black spots under the eyes or eyelids, ruining the appearance of makeup that has been well-arranged. This often happens due to mascara that has not dried, a formula that is too creamy, or even oily eyelids.

This problem is even more annoying because removing mascara streaks without damaging the surrounding makeup is not easy. If cleaned directly with hands or tissue, the stain can actually spread and ruin the makeup results. Especially if the mascara tends to be waterproof and is cleaned with micellar water. Although the mascara streaks can be removed, the complexion is also damaged because it fades.

If that's the case, you need to know the trick to remove mascara streaks on your face. Luckily, an Instagram user @loviclouds once shared the trick through one of the videos she uploaded. To remove mascara streaks, she admitted to using one makeup tool.


As reported by briliobeauty.net from Instagram @loviclouds on Sunday (23/3), the makeup tool in question is a spoolie or eyebrow comb.

Well, before using it, make sure the spoolie is dry and clean. If there is still eyebrow product, it is very likely that the complexion will become dirtier. Therefore, you must use a really clean spoolie.

After that, let the mascara stain dry first. Not without reason, dried mascara will usually be more clumpy and dense. If lifted or cleaned, it will minimize the presence of other streaks because it fades.

Next, clean the mascara by taking it using the spoolie. The rough surface of the spoolie or eyebrow brush will make the stain stick more perfectly. But still do it carefully so that the mascara stain does not spread to other parts. Continue to brush the part affected by mascara slowly until it is completely clean and without a trace.

But besides knowing how to remove it, it would be better to avoid mascara streaks that ruin the look. There are several tricks that can be done, such as waiting for the mascara to dry completely before opening your eyes, using a waterproof formula, or relying on the technique of cleaning stains with a dry cotton bud. With a little care and the right tricks, your makeup look can remain neat without the disturbance of annoying mascara streaks.
