Overview

A plant-based brush with twin reservoirs loads the bareMinerals Maximist formula onto lashes, while upcycled orange peel fibers cling to each one to build volume. A microalgae complex is added to condition lashes over time.

Volume without a heavy cleanup is the case for it, since the fibers add body while removal stays gentle. It is sold as water-resistant rather than waterproof, so it is built for daily wear more than swimming.

Who it's for

Suits sensitive eyes, contact lens wearers and anyone who avoids synthetic fragrance in makeup. People who want a waterproof formula for long outdoor days should look at another tube.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Fibers build volume quickly
  • Smudge and flake proof wear
  • Gentle removal with any remover
  • Ophthalmologist and dermatologist tested
Cons
  • Shade not listed
  • Water-resistant, not fully waterproof
  • Unit count field conflicts with tube volume

Performance notes

Volume comes from the orange peel fibers bonding to each lash as the formula coats it, so more strokes add more bulk. The dual reservoir brush carries enough product to coat in fewer passes, and the water-resistant film resists smudging through the day without needing a heavy remover.
