Overview
An hourglass-shaped brush deposits a waterproof, lash-doubling formula that thickens and conditions as it goes on. Sweep it from root to tip and add coats before the first one dries to build volume.
Volume and definition come from layering a conditioning formula with a fat brush, and the waterproof finish holds up to rain, tears and humid days. Removal is the other side of that hold: the film needs an oil free remover or micellar water at night.
Who it's for
Suited to long days, sports, weddings and wet weather when lashes need to stay put. Contact lens wearers are covered too. Those after a soft, barely there lash tint should look at a lighter formula.
Pros and cons
- Waterproof film resists tears and humidity
- Hourglass brush builds volume quickly
- Suitable for contact lens wearers
- Ophthalmologist tested and hypoallergenic tested
- Needs a dedicated remover to come off
- Only the Very Black shade on this listing
- Contains parabens per the ingredient list
- Clumps if coats dry between layers
Performance notes
Volume depends on layering: the directions say not to let the formula dry between coats, so a wet second pass adds thickness while a dry one invites clumps. The waterproof film is what resists smudging, and it is also why oil or micellar remover is needed to dissolve it.
