While mascara and various other cosmetics contain guanine, which is used to give a pearlescent look, this is not guano and does not come from guano (bat dung). It is made from fish scales though. So, no bat feces but crushed up fish scales.

No. There is an ingredient in mascara called guanine but it does not come from bat excrement/guano.

Mascara is made of oils, pigments, and preservatives.

Guano can be found in different types of makeup, but it all depends on the specific product you're using.
