Our verdict

A volumizing, curling mascara for straight lashes that need lift and darker definition through a full day. It is not water resistant, so it is a poor match for workouts, pools or tearful events.

Overview

Sweeping this tarte mascara from root to tip lifts and curls lashes with a wand that mixes short bristles for volume and long ones for curl. Ultra-dark mineral pigment defines each lash, and the vegan formula conditions as it coats.

Lift for straight lashes is why it earns a place in a makeup bag, backed by clinical curl and length results. Wear claims cover smudging and flaking, but the formula is not water resistant.

Who it's for

People whose lashes point straight down and who want dark definition for a full workday will see the most change. Anyone heading into water, sweat or tears should look for a waterproof formula.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Curls and lifts straight lashes
  • Smudge-proof and flake-free
  • Vegan and cruelty free
  • Safe for contact lens wearers
Cons
  • Not water resistant
  • Clinical results from a small study
  • Only black shade listed

Performance notes

Curl comes from the wand: long bristles grab and lift while short bristles load pigment for volume. Carnauba and rice bran waxes thicken and lengthen each lash as layers build. Because the formula is not water resistant, moisture is what breaks it down.
