\"\"<\/span><\/a><\/p>

Why do we open our mouths when applying makeup? This is a question that is sure to have plagued you at some point if you've ever applied\u00a0mascara <\/a>or eyeliner and noticed your expression in the mirror. While it is quite possible to wear makeup with the lips closed, most of us\u00a0unintentionally open our\u00a0mouths to properly apply \u00a0eyeliner or, more frequently, their mascara.\u00a0Why is that so?<\/p>

<\/div>

KEEPING YOUR MOUTH SHUT REQUIRES EFFORT<\/span> <\/h2>

\"Having your mouth shut is not natural. When you are relaxed, or otherwise highly concentrated on a task that requires high\u00a0accuracy, the neck muscles are relaxed and the mouth opens spontaneously, \"says Alexandre Bonnet, an osteopath in Paris.<\/p>

Other hypotheses have also surfaced. One of them claims that having the mouth open in an 'O' shape would temporarily prevent the eyes from blinking. No physiological explanation exists yet to\u00a0support this assumption.<\/p>

However, the fact is,\u00a0opening the mouth stretches the facial skin<\/a> and therefore facilitates applying makeup, This does not mean that you can not wear makeup like a pro without making a grimace!<\/p>
