Our verdict

A waterproof black mascara with a curved fiber brush and a buildable formula, suited to humid days and workouts. Removal guidance is missing from the listing, and waterproof wear means water alone will not lift it.

Overview

Essence builds its Lash Like A Boss mascara around a curved fiber brush that grabs each lash and coats it in a deep black, waterproof formula. Layering more coats adds length and fullness without a heavy feel.

Staying power through rain and sweat is the reason to choose it, and the formula skips fragrance and parabens. Only black is shown here, and contact lens suitability is never stated.

Who it's for

Suits long days outdoors, gym sessions and humid weather when lashes need to stay put. People who prefer a mascara that rinses off with warm water should look at a washable formula instead.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Waterproof against rain and sweat
  • Curved brush separates individual lashes
  • Buildable for more length
  • Fragrance and paraben free
Cons
  • Contact lens safety not listed
  • Only one deep black shade shown
  • No removal guidance in the listing

Performance notes

Volume depends on how many coats go on, since the buildable formula thickens with each layer. The curved fiber brush follows the lash line and catches individual lashes for an even coat, and the waterproof film resists rain and sweat, which also means it does not lift with water alone.
