Mascara that stays on well all day? Here’s what you need to know
Nothing is more frustrating than a mascara that promises to lift, lengthen and add volume… but is already running or clumping by midday. Panda eyes? We’d rather say no to those.
If your mascara isn’t doing what you want, it’s usually not your lashes’ fault. It’s the combination of formula, technique and preparation.
In this blog, you’ll discover how to find your perfect mascara match, how to apply your mascara properly (and what not to do), and whether a lash primer is more of a hype or a must-have.

Mascara LashLove
Volume, length and curl in one formula?
Then we have good news for you: with our latest Lash Love Mascara, you can check all those boxes in no time!
Lash Love is the mascara for anyone who loves lifted and beautifully separated lashes. The intense black color and glossy finish create an open-eyed look, while the flexible, creamy formula applies perfectly without clumping. What makes this mascara unique is its 3D volume effect, thanks to cellulose microspheres and plant-based ingredients that care for your lashes while enhancing them.
Mascara DO'S
- Use a primer: This creates a more beautiful, long-lasting effect and strengthens the lashes.
- Curl your lashes: Use an eyelash curler before applying mascara for a beautiful curl.
- Apply in a zigzag motion: Move the brush from the roots to the tips, back and forth, for even coverage.
- Let layers dry: Wait a moment between coats; otherwise, you may get clumps (spider-leg effect).
- Remove every evening: Always remove your mascara before going to bed. Tip: waterproof eye make-up remover
- Set with powder: A little translucent powder under your eyes can help prevent smudging.
- Use the tip: The tip of the brush is ideal for the lower lashes.
Les Yeux Purs – Waterproof eye makeup remover

Mascara DON'TS
- Don't use waterproof mascara daily: It is difficult to remove and damages the skin around your eyes.
- Don't share: Bacteria spread easily and can cause infections.
- Don't pump: Don't pump the brush in the tube, as this lets air in and dries out the mascara.
- Don't use it for too long: Replace your mascara every 3 to 5 months after opening to prevent bacteria.
- Don't apply before eyeliner: This can cause clumps and a messy look.
- Don't apply before contact lenses: Put your lenses in first to prevent product from getting in your eyes.
- Don't apply too much: Lower lashes are more delicate, so clumps are more noticeable. Use the tip of the brush with a back-and-forth motion for an even coat.
- Don't wipe immediately: If you make a mess, it's best to let the smudge dry first. Then take a clean mascara brush and gently rub over it.
Lash primers: what are they and do they really work?
A lash primer coats each lash and enhances the effect of your mascara. Your lashes appear longer and more voluminous, are beautifully separated, and your mascara stays looking fresh for longer.
Our Lash Primer Le Merveilleux Peach has a lightweight, nourishing formula with Acitire (jojoba, mimosa, and sunflower waxes), which help keep your lashes soft and supple. All while protecting and hydrating them. Thanks to a unique blend of carnauba wax, peptides, and provitamin B5, your lashes gain extra resilience and volume, while the added fibers create a visibly fuller effect that lasts longer.
The result? Perfectly prepared, fuller, longer lashes - ready for your favorite mascara.

How do you apply lash primer?
STEP 1
Apply the primer to clean, dry lashes. Work in slow, even strokes from the base to the tip for a thin, even layer.
STEP 2
Let the primer dry for a few seconds. This allows the formula to set and creates a smooth base that helps your mascara adhere better and stay looking great for longer, without weighing down your lashes or clumping.
STEP 3
Then apply your favorite mascara while the primer is still slightly flexible, as this provides extra volume, more length, and a fuller lash line that stays sleek and well-groomed all day.
