Mascara in Box!? Makeup for Vintage Lovers! Besame Cosmetics Cake Mascara

What it is:
A dry cake mascara, water activated for use as mascara, to fill in brows, and as an eyeliner.

-Wet your included applicator with a very small amount of water and rub it back and forth onto the cake until you make a soft paste (add more water to make the texture thinner if using for brows or eyeliner).
-Do not add more than one drop of water at a time. Too much water will dilute the product and give it a see-through consistency.
-Apply with the applicator included by brushing up on the lashes.
-Pause between coats for drying time and apply another coat as needed until you reach your desired length and fullness.

-Use a slanted brush and dip into the cake mascara. Rub back-and-forth until the brush tip is fully coated.
-Apply to the brow in short strokes and finish by using a dry spool brush to brush through the brow.

-Use a slightly thinner mixture of the cake mascara with a fine tip eyeliner brush. Dip into the cake and draw a line on the lid.
-To darken or thicken the line, wait a couple seconds for the first line to dry and then proceed to go over it with more strokes until you reach your desired darkness or thickness.
