Broad Question:
Why does mascara run?

Specific Question:
Which top-name-brand non-waterproof mascara runs the most?

Variables That Need To Be Controlled:
Subjects

Hypothesis:
I think Falsies will run the least. Lashblast-Luxe will run the most.

General Plan
I am going to test how much mascara runs when a girl cries.

Experimental Design
During my science fair project I will have to plan out some details. I will be conducting my experement in my bathroom, at my house. I have approved this with my parents. I will have 4 girls (including me), Jade, Bella and Riley. They will put on 4 mascaras each. Each person will do 4 mascaras so each mascara will have 4 trial. I will write the data on a spreadsheet that i have drawn out on paper, then copy it onto my laptop later on.

Materials List
MATERIALS LIST:
 * 1) Abby
 * 2) Bella
 * 3) Riley
 * 4) Mascaras
 * 5) eye drop (4)
 * 6) towels
 * 7) soap

Detailed Procedure

 * 1) Colect materials.
 * 2) Once all girls arrive have them wash face.
 * 3) Have Subject 1 put on 2 coats of "Lashblast Luxe" on eyes
 * 4) Hand them their eyedrops. Have them drop 3 drops in corner of eye, and 2 drops under eye without blinking.
 * 5) Have them blink 5 times.
 * 6) Measure drippage with ruler.
 * 7) Have them wash face well next subject goes
 * 8) Have Subject 2 put on 2 coats of "Lashblast Luxe" on right eye
 * 9) Hand them their eyedrops. Have them drop 3 drops in corner of eye, and 2 drops under eye without blinking.
 * 10) Have them blink 5 times.
 * 11) Measure drippage with ruler.
 * 12) Have them wash face well next subject goes
 * 13) Have Subject 3 put on 2 coats of "Lashblast Luxe" on right eye
 * 14) Hand them their eyedrops. Have them drop 3 drops in corner of eye, and 2 drops under eye without blinking.
 * 15) Have them blink 5 times.
 * 16) Measure drippage with ruler.
 * 17) Have them wash face well next subject goes
 * 18) Have Subject 4 put on 2 coats of "Lashblast Luxe" on right eye
 * 19) Hand them their eye drops. Have them drop 3 drops in corner of eye, and 2 drops under eye without blinking.
 * 20) Have them blink 5 times.
 * 21) Measure drippage with ruler.
 * 22) Have them wash face well next subject goes
 * 23) Repeat for next 3 mascara.

Conclusion:
=== The main purpose of my experiment was to see which namebrand, nonwaterproof mascara ran the most. I put mascara 1 & 2 on two of my friends (Hailey and Riley). Then I put mascara 3 & 4 on my mother and I. After 15 seconds of drying 4 drops of water was placed on the eyelashes. Next the subject would blink twice the amount of drippage would be measured in cm. The data I got proves that all eyes are different. ===

Discussion
== My hypothesis was that LashBlast Luxe would run the most and Falsies would run the least.My reasults do not support my hypothesis. There is not a relationship between the variables. My data is unreliable. I think the test went smoothly with minor problems. The problem that I faced was that my data wasn't consistent. If I could improve my experiment i would only have two mascaras and twenty people to test them on. ==
