This is what I used for my experiment:
1. Makeup wipes to clean the wand off, you could use makeup remover, I was lazy.
2. Cuticle scissors. This was absolutely perfect for the job since it's small and bends around the wand when cutting the bristles off.
3. The mascara itself. I wasn't sure how my experiment was going to go, so I used a mascara I got with a gift set last year.
Below shows the bristles of the mascara wand. I figured they would be perfect for the job at hand.
I used the makeup wipes to clean the wand off leaving me with this.
Next I got to work on the bristles. Starting from the bottom, I worked my way around with the cuticle scissors leaving about a third of the bristles on the wand. I did this over a makeup wipe to minimise the mess. I gave the wand a quick clean with another wipe to make sure there were no little bits of bristles left over.
Et voila! I was left with a nice neat wand that looks like the Clinique one :)
Has anyone used the Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara? Is it worth the money? I'm still intrigued with it but this will do me until payday or until I hit the Duty Free in the summer :)
