Mascara generally comes in liquid, solid or cream form and is made from the same ingredients as pigments, oils, waxes and preservatives. Well, the most widely used type of mascara is liquid. This type of mascara is very prone to drying out. This condition is usually caused because you didn't close it tightly when closing it.
