Every image uses 832×1216, seed 1234, 23 steps and the k_euler_ancestral sampler. The base prompt and negative prompt stay the same for every tag, and only the tag under test changes. Images flagged by the NSFW check are regenerated with a new seed or hidden.

A type of makeup used to thicken, lengthen, or define eyelashes.
Use this tag for thick or long eyelashes that are evidently from wearing mascara (i.e. the character is wearing other makeup, is applying makeup, or a mascara wand is visible). If the character has defined eyelashes but it's not from wearing makeup, just use eyelashes.
Mascara should not be confused with eyeliner, which is a dark line applied along the edge of the eyelids, or eyeshadow, which is a colorful powder applied around the eyes.

FAQ
Does NovelAI recognize mascara?
Compare the samples on this page. Every tag on this site shares the same seed and base prompt, so any change you see comes from mascara.
How do I write mascara in a prompt?
Write "mascara" near the front of the prompt and separate it from other tags with commas.
Should I use V5 or V4.5?
V4.5 shows the tag's effect more strongly. V5 gives steadier images with fewer artifacts.
