In order to look perfect, it is not uncommon for many women to be willing to use various products to cover up imperfections on their face. Almost every part of the face has its own make-up product. Among them are eyeliner and mascara.
According to Sixty and Me, eyeliner is a series of makeup that is applied from the lids to the ends of the eyes. Unfortunately, if it is not stored in the right place, such as too cold or hot, eyeliner can easily dry out. Not only that, dry eyeliner can be caused by other things, such as not closing it tightly and rarely using it.

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. Apart from that, it could also be due to shaking the applicator in and out too often when you want to use it.
