A mascara that makes up and takes care of lashes at the same time: that's the promise of the treatment mascara. But how to choose it, especially when you have fine or short lashes? And how to apply it to avoid clumps? The Dreameyes team explains everything simply.

Treatment mascara: what exactly is it?
A treatment mascara is a mascara that, in addition to pigments, contains active ingredients chosen to take care of lashes: peptides, vitamins, oils or plant extracts. There are transparent treatment mascaras, to be used alone, and black treatment mascaras, which make up like a classic mascara.
The benefit? No longer having to choose between a made-up look and a product designed for the well-being of your lashes.
How to choose your treatment mascara
1. Look at the composition
Read the list of ingredients. Peptides, panthenol (provitamin B5), biotin or vitamin E are active ingredients often sought in a treatment mascara.
2. Choose the right brush
A fine and precise brush separates lashes well and reaches those at the corner of the eye. It's ideal for short lashes.
3. Think about makeup removal
A non-waterproof mascara is easier to remove, which avoids rubbing and damaging the lashes.
4. Take your eyes into account
If you have sensitive eyes or wear contact lenses, do a test before the first use.
Which mascara for short and fine lashes?
Short and fine lashes need a light mascara, which does not weigh them down. A few tips:
- Curl your lashes before mascara to open the gaze.
- Prefer a fine brush to reach every lash, even the smallest.
- Apply in a zigzag from the root to the tip to separate the lashes.
- Layer two thin coats rather than one thick coat.

How to apply mascara without clumping
- Wipe the excess product on the edge of the bottle.
- Place the brush at the root of the lashes and make small zigzags.
- Move up towards the tip in a fluid motion.
- Let it dry for a few seconds before the second coat.
- Separate the lashes with a clean lash comb if needed.

The Dreameyes treatment mascara
Our serum-infused mascara combines an intense black with a formula enriched in peptides, panthenol, biotin and vitamin E. Its precise brush separates lashes for a natural volume effect. It is used daily, in one or two coats.
And in the evening? Remove your makeup gently, then apply your lash serum on clean eyes to complete your routine.
Errors to avoid
- Pumping the brush in the bottle: this lets air in and dries out the mascara.
- Keeping your mascara for more than 3 to 6 months after opening.
- Sleeping with makeup on.
- Rubbing hard to remove makeup.
