The purpose of this study was to determine how fast mascara could run down a sheet of aluminum foil when water was squirted on it, so that in the future women could choose the best non-waterproof mascara which still protected against water. Mascara is a type of makeup that helps women determine how long their eyelashes can get, how dark they want their eyelashes, and how curled they would like their eyelashes to be. The method used in this experiment was rubbing mascara on a sheet of aluminum foil, squirting it with water, then timing how long it takes for the mascaras to run. Maybelline is the most durable against water as proven by the results as to how long it takes for it to run down the sheet with water squirted against it.
 * ABSTRACT **


 * EXPERIMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS AND FUTURE EXPERIMENTS **

 An improvement that could be made in my experiment is by using newer mascaras so that the experiments are tested 100% correct. Since the mascaras were old they have been used more and some of the data could be messed up. In this experiment it would be an improvement not to microwave aluminum foil. This would make an improvement to the data and how fast it would really drip. it would be an improvement to use different brands of different makeup so that you could see which non-waterproof makeups affect better against water.
