NARS Climax Extreme Mascara - Mini

For optimal hygiene and performance, it's recommended to replace mascara every three to six months after opening, or sooner if it starts to dry out or change in consistency.

Info needed: The product description does not specify if the NARS Climax Extreme Mini Mascara is waterproof. Generally, 'latex-like black pigment' suggests strong adherence but not necessarily waterproof qualities.

The XXXL ribbed-bristle brush is designed to instantly load and lift every lash, maximizing the deposit of the Loaded Pigment Complex from root to tip, which results in explosive volume and separation with minimal effort.

While generally formulated for sensitive eyes, if you wear contact lenses, it's always advisable to consult with your eye care professional or perform a test if you have specific sensitivities. The formula is not specifically advertised as 'contact lens safe' but typically such products are fine.

The mini size contains less product than the full-size version, making it ideal for travel, sampling the product, or for those who prefer to replace their mascara more frequently. The formula and brush technology are identical to the full-size product.

Info needed: The product description does not explicitly state if it's suitable for sensitive eyes. If you have known sensitivities, it's always recommended to check the ingredient list or consult a dermatologist before use.

Wipe any excess product off the brush before application. Apply slowly with a wiggling motion from root to tip, and avoid applying too many coats, especially if the previous coat has dried.

Ensure you are wiggling the brush from the very base of your lashes upwards to fully coat and lift them. Curling your lashes before applying can also enhance the voluminous effect.

Allow ample time for the mascara to fully dry after application. If you have oily eyelids, consider using an eye primer or translucent powder around the eye area to minimize smudging.

Avoid pumping the wand in and out of the tube, as this introduces air and speeds up drying. Ensure the cap is twisted tightly after each use to create an airtight seal.

Due to its intense, latex-like pigment, a dedicated oil-based or bi-phase eye makeup remover is recommended. Apply the remover to a cotton pad, press gently onto lashes for a few seconds, then wipe away.
