Hello Beauties!
Lately my mascara (Tarte, light, camera, splashes) has been balling up at the tips of my lashes. So changed to Urban Decay, the Benefit, Lorac...still balling up! Do any of you know what is it, and how can it be avoided?

Usually balling indicates dry mascara but it even happened to your new ones...? Another culprit could be sometimes when too much product is applied and not thoroughly brushed through it creates balls at the end of the lash - at least for me.

R T. and Jacqueline H. that's got to be it. Tomorrow I will not let my lash primer dry too much. And work on making sure I do an even application.
Yes my mascaras are new.
Thank you beauties so much!

Hi R T and Jacqueline, took your advice, mascara application went much better this morning! Thank you so much for taking the time to help xo.

I've had that same problem with that Tart mascara. I find it to be a waste of money but if mascara drys out put a few drops of visene in there & stir it up with your wand, make sure you don't "pump" the wand, this can cause more air pockets & dry out your mascara & cause bacteria to form.

Hi Melissa! great thank you for the tip! I will keep that in mind. It definitely helped when I didn't let my lash primer dry too much.
