      hi hazar, I’m not sure that there’s any physiological reason but it may be that it helps us to concentrate so that the keep a steady hand and don’t get mascara all over our faces. A bit like how some people stick their tonuge out when they’re trying to concentrate.

      Yes, i have also not heard of a physiological reason, but it is easier to raise your eyelids with your mouth open rather than closed and position the mascara where you want on the eyelashes.

      Hi hazar, there is an implication that males CAN put mascara on with their mouths closed! There’s an experiment in the offing!!
