Urban Decay Perversion Lenghtening & Volumising Mascara, Intense Black

Product Information

The only detractor with this formula is that it is strikingly hard to remove for a non-waterproof mascara, especially if you use water-based eye makeup remover — this one will require an oil-based formula to fully cleanse the eye area. If you struggle with your mascara smudging and you lean towards using a waterproof mascara, try switching to a tubing mascara, which can be simply removed with warm water,” suggests Vincent. Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara is a solid example of this — regular use of a tubing mascara will help them recover from waterproof mascara. When you use traditional mascara formulas, including waterproof, Lo recommends using a bi-phase makeup remover, which contains oil to help break down durable formulas.

The twisted trim on the high-tech, volumising brush latches on to each lash to separate and define; finally, a volumising mascara with a clean, clump-free finish. It pulls through lashes smoothly and lays down a generous amount of product. No need to wiggle the wand or maneuver it at all different angles! For lashings of sex appeal and high voltage drama, introduce Perversion Mascara into your make up bag. Your makeup technique can also play a role. For example, you should never curl lashes once you’ve already applied mascara. “This can tear out lashes when the curler is opened and is damaging, so ensure you’re only curling bare lashes,” Vincent adds. While there are tons of high-end mascaras we love, you can also grab some excellent options at the drugstore for a fraction of the cost. Our favorite option is the Covergirl Exhibitionist Uncensored Mascara.

If your lashes grow downwards, you may not have the best experience with this, though. The formula is a bit heavier than other mascaras we’re used to which makes it hard for our lashes to hold a curl, but they do stay soft! Of all the formulas we tested, we felt this one yielded the most impressive results. That’s due to the fact that it delivers well-rounded benefits. Instead of just offering length or volume, The Big Clean provides both while curling and making lashes look denser. The combination of all of these benefits in one formula means that in just one coat, it appears like we’re wearing a set of ultra-plush, high-quality falsies. Urban Decay Perversion Mascara has a creamy, full-bodied texture that's not too dry, not too wet. This allows just the right amount of "pull" so it glides through lashes. The result: incredible control for insane lashes. Go ahead and pile on coat after coat. Want to apply more before you go out at night? No problem. Even if it's been all day since you applied, more Perversion always means more beautiful lashes. It NEVER gets brittle or clumpy. The formula and brush work together to lengthen and volumize the lashes while giving them a lifted effect. The wand contains staggered bristles to effectively grip each lash, and we found that the bristles did a great job of separating lashes for a more wide-eyed look. The bristles on the tip of the brush also helped to coat the lashes in hard-to-reach areas, making for a full, even application.

Lastly, consider how you sleep. Of course, you’ll be going to bed after fully removing your makeup (right?), but sleeping on your face can wreak havoc on your lashes. “If you are a face sleeper, a silk pillowcase can be especially helpful for retaining moisture in your skin and hair,” recommends Thomas. In addition to providing impressive length, it worked wonders in terms of giving the lashes a curled and lifted finish. If you struggle to coat your inner lashes as one of our testers does, this could be just the mascara you need. She explained that while she usually struggles to lengthen the small lashes at her inner corners, this product eliminates that problem. She did note that she wished the application was more even but admitted that the issue could be attributed to the shape of her eye, so everyone may not have the same experience.Effect: Volumizing, defining | Formula: Washable | Brush type: Conical nylon brush with full, soft bristles Not directly, per se. “Mascara in and of itself does not affect lash growth, but not fully removing it or being harsh when removing can,” says Vincent, who (like Thomas) advises against regular use of waterproof mascara as rubbing your lashes to cleanse them can adversely affect lash fullness. Truthfully, there’s no “better” wand between the two options. “I really find that that’s a matter of preference,” says Thomas. “It’s up to the user whether they prefer a brush that carries more product or helps them to define and separate better.” Traditional wands tend to hold a lot more mascara than molded brushes as there are more nooks and crannies between wire bristles for the formula to get into — this means you’ll be able to load on some significant pigment for a more bolder look with boosted volume. Molded brushes, especially those that have spiky tips, are helpful for creating separation and definition, says Thomas. If we could change one thing about this mascara, it wouldn’t be anything having to do with the brush. Rather, we wish it was a bit easier to remove.

Effect: Lifting, defining | Formula: Waterproof | Brush type: Thin, low-profile brush with spiral bristlesThrough this brand’s founder, board-certified ophthalmologist Dr. Diane Hilal-Campo, we learned that many makeup formulas can actually be damaging to the eye. This mascara was designed to help support eye health while keeping all eyes comfy (including those with sensitive eyes or allergies). It promotes healthy growth with strengthening biotin, hydrating hyaluronic acid, and nourishing vitamin E. Plus, it features a slightly curved bristle brush so you can swipe all your lashes in one stroke to create a very natural, everyday look.
