The one I use (Isadora) comes in a small compact with a mirror and a brush. And yes, the brush does look like a small toothbrush. It's quite easy to use. I've never used a metal comb.

I did a bit a research and found a few tube mascaras that were listed as mercury free so it sounds like it's common in both tube and cake mascaras (as well as vaccines!) Sheesh! What's next....lead in lipstick!?![]()
MK said:There is no such thing as a great mascara. It is always a compromise. A perfect mascara would:
1) Go on smooth.
2) Make your lashes thick and long.
3) Not clump.
4) Not run when you cry.
5) Easy to remove.
6) Last a long time.
Antje said:Maybe a strange question, but what do you all mean with cake mascara,
I never heard of the word, but maybe that's because I just don't know the word in dutch,
I hope someone can explain to me.
lol lol Thanks PS for your help!! I think I may have messed around with it too much and I am going to try the tip of using a new brush. I think I need to let it set longer on the brush before I apply.PS said:Red,
Did you perhaps wet your brush too much? Did you use the brush included or a different one? This is what I do to lessen the raccoon eyes.....but I am not a huge fan of cake mascara...I haven't mastered the learning curve but I LOOOOOVEEEEE Mascara........
I use a mascara wand from a regular tube. Just wash it off. Dry it.
Use a smidge of water on the wand. Scrub it around on the cake.
Back away from the mascara!!!!!! Let it thicken on the wand for a about a minute. It also gives the excess water a chance to evaporate so when you apply it isn't too wet. Mascara effects is more about the brush than the formula so play around that way.![]()
