The Defining Mascara formulation combines natural mineral pigments with caring and nourishing ingredients like eyebright (Euphrasia) and beeswax, which soothe and protect your delicate lashes. It defines every single lash, making it ideal for those with sparse or short lashes. The fine brush ensures you can coat every individual eyelash, delivering precision. It is ophthalmologically tested and suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.
Nb. The beeswax may block meibomian glands if applied too close to the eyelid margin
Dr Hauschka Defining Mascara, your questions answered
Q1. What makes Dr Hauschka mascara eye friendly?
Natural pigments, no synthetic fragrance, and no parabens. The formula is assessed against the Eyehouse Eye Friendly Rating before being stocked.
For anyone with sensitive eyes, dry eye, or blepharitis, the ingredient list here is significantly cleaner than most conventional mascaras.
Q2. What does defining mean versus volume?
A defining mascara separates and lengthens individual lashes for a more precise, natural look. A volume mascara adds thickness and fullness for a more dramatic effect.
Defining suits people who want to enhance lashes without heaviness, and is generally kinder to finer or more fragile lashes.
Q3. Is it safe with contact lenses?
Yes. Apply after inserting lenses. If fibres from any mascara are causing lens discomfort, switch to a more precise application technique and check your removal routine is thorough.
Q4. Can I use it if I have blepharitis?
In a stable period, yes. During a flare, rest the lid margin from all cosmetics until settled. Always remove thoroughly every night.
Q5. How do I remove it properly?
Oil-based or micellar remover on a cotton pad. Press and hold against the lashes for a few seconds, then wipe downward rather than back and forth.
Q6. How often should I replace it?
Every three months regardless of how much is left.
