To give each mascaras a fair shot during the nap experiment, I treated them equally:
- No pretreatment, such as an eyelash curler or primer. I simply spritzed my face with Mario Badesco's rosewater facial spray before each application.
- I used two coats of mascara on the top lashes, and one on the bottom.
- I allowed each formula to dry for 10 minutes before beginning the nap.
- I slept belly down, with one cheek against the pillow. This is my usual slumber position, and it really put the products to the test.
- I nodded off for exactly 10 minutes every time, because let's be real . . . even the biggest enthusiast can only sleep so much!
- I removed mascara completely with a gentle makeup remover and warm water in between each evaluation, ensuring that no residue remained from the previous one.
- I allowed at least 20 minutes between every session to prevent any eye irritation.
And here were the results . . .
