Can You Wear Mascara While Using Obagi NU-CIL?

Many people ask, can you wear mascara while using Obagi NU-CIL? Yes. You do not have to stop wearing mascara while using this lash serum.

The best approach is to apply Obagi NU-CIL Lash Serum at night to clean, dry skin. During the day, you can wear your favorite mascara as part of your normal beauty routine.

This gives the serum time to absorb while allowing you to enjoy beautifully defined lashes during the day.

How to Use Mascara With Lash Serum

If you're wondering how to use mascara with lash serum, follow this simple routine.

Morning

  • Wash your face
  • Apply eye cream if desired
  • Apply makeup
  • Finish with mascara

Evening

  • Remove makeup gently
  • Cleanse your face
  • Dry the lash line completely
  • Apply Obagi NU-CIL Eyelash Enhancing Serum
  • Allow the serum to dry before bed

Applying the serum at night helps keep your routine simple and avoids mixing mascara with the serum.

Should Lash Serum Go Before or After Mascara?

Another common question is lash serum before or after mascara?

The answer is simple.

Always apply your lash serum to clean lashes before bedtime, not over mascara.

Never apply serum on top of mascara because makeup can block proper contact with the lash line.

For best results:

  • Serum at night
  • Mascara during the day
