10 Everyday Mistakes That Are Ruining Your Eyelashes

Sleeping with makeup on

We get it—nobody feels like washing their face after a long day, particularly struggling with stubborn waterproof mascara. But keeping your makeup on while you sleep not only leads to breakouts, but is also a top cause of eyelash damage. One of the ways mascara works is by making eyelashes stiff, so they are incredibly prone to breakage once it’s on. Hitting the bed with the formula on crunches your lashes against the pillow surface, and they may break in the process because of their already brittle state. Sharon Lipetz Gjieli, owner of Makeup By Lips LLC, shares, “Always have makeup wipes or makeup remover in your nightstand for the lazy nights when washing your face just isn’t an option.” As a rule of thumb, if you invest a lot of time into applying makeup, be sure to invest the same amount of time into taking it off. (In case you’re wondering, this is how bad it really is to sleep in your makeup).
