Why is that women can't keep their mouth closed when they put mascara on?

I have never seen a person put mascara on with their mouth closed. Why can't they keep their mouth shut?

I heard that keeping your mouth open while you apply eye makeup prevents you from blinking.

lol good one

i heard it was impossible. I can though but not completely shut.

i dont know its weird though whenever i close my mouth it just doesnt feel right... lol

that's a lie, i can close my mouth when i put mascara on. it depends on how you position your hand when you apply the mascara. :)

i cand o it wiht my mouth shut lol

lol i never realised that before. thats funny

So none drips on their dress.

I can

If you close you mouth and breathe through your nose you will not have that problem.

I think it just helps to stretch out the skin under the eye. If you open your mouth, you can feel that it pulls the skin on the cheekbones a little more taught.

because when u open your mouth it streches your face making it easier to get to those lashes

I can put mine on without opening my mouth. It's an unconscious thing, we think it helps us open up our eye more... it really doesn't do anything. But it shouldn't matter, who really watches when we put makeup on anyway?

There are nerves connected in that part of your face so when you open your eyes really wide to put on mascara you open your mouth without realizing it

I can apply mascara perfectly with my mouth closed! That's the only way I have ever put mascara on; with my mouth closed. It would be way too hard putting it on with my mouth open. I couldn't imagine doing that.

lol thats funny.

I can! I ALWAYS do. Gee, I thought it was normal.. I just kind of suck in my lips.

Hmm. i donno, i can do it either way, i usually put it on with my mouth closed, though...

to be more concentrated

Because they are trying to concentrate, and I beleive opening the mouth helps you have better concentration..

that is a mystery, we may never know the scientific reason, but that is the logical reason!

well i can do it either way but i like opening my mouth. it streches skin so u can put on the mascara with space

I can - it just makes it harder and I mess up a lot easier.

I can put on mascara with my mouth closed. There was an email about that once. About when we put on mascara we have one eye closed and our mouth open. It's very weird.

i can keep my mouth shut and put mascara on..no lies....i can keep it completely shut
