Our verdict

A conditioning, long-wear mascara for volume and curl that holds up to sweat. Removal steps are not described, and sweatproof is not the same as a stated waterproof rating.

Overview

Tarte blends a lash serum cocktail of biotin, peptides and plant oils into this volumizing mascara, so it conditions lashes while it builds volume, length and curl. The formula is built to stay put without flaking or smudging through a long day.

Lash care ingredients and smudge-proof wear in one tube suit anyone tired of smears under the eyes by evening. The listing never says waterproof, and it gives no tube size.

Who it's for

Busy days, sweaty commutes and sensitive eyes suit a smudge-proof formula that is ophthalmologist tested. Swimmers who need a declared waterproof rating should look further.

Performance notes

Volume comes from the pigment coating each lash, while biotin, peptides and plant oils condition them under the color. Long wear depends on the formula setting without flaking, which resists sweat and smudging around the lower lid.
