Meaningless Trivia Kind of Question

I know this is a pretty useless, mindless entry (Aunt Gayle, please forgive me ;), but an interesting phenomenon at that.  I know I am not the only woman who opens my mouth when applying my mascara, because I have seen countless other women do it as well.  I just found myself putting mascara on, caught myself with my mouth open, and wondered, WHY?  Does anyone else find themselves doing this?  Does anyone else wonder, WHY?

makes you go hhmmm! Here is the article:
Two plastic surgeons, whose livelihoods depend upon knowing what the effects of opening the mouth are on the eyes, say that opening the mouth tightens muscles and puts the skin on the eyelids on a stretch.  This makes it easier to apply mascara for pretty much the same reason that men make jaw contractions while shaving their necks.

you know when I put on my contacts I notice I have my mouth open, and then when I notice it I try to close it. LOL.

YES!  Weird huh?  When my husband is writing something, he moves his mouth.  No words or sounds, just kinda moves, more like twitching.  I've asked him and he doesn't even realize he does it!  Maybe I'll put on mascara, leave my mouth closed and it'll smear all over!

Absolutely!  Always open my mouth when I put my mascara on.  Just doesn't feel right if I do it with my  trap shut! lol
