L’Oréal Paris Paradise (Waterproof Black), Intense Volume, Castor Oil-Enriched, Suitable for Sensitive Eyes, Soft Mascara Brush Included

Product Information

Volumizing And Lengthening Mascara: Full lash fringe that’s feathery soft, with no flaking, no smudging, and no clumping; Just voluptuous volume and intense length. 20x more volume and up to 2x more length. Based on a consumer claims study, November 2020 One of our other favorite things about a waterproof formula is its ability to keep your lashes curled – a big win for those of us who use a lash curler on the daily, and want to keep those babies lifted. To use L’Oréal Paris Lash Paradise mascara, simply brush through your lashes from root to tip, repeating a few times. Layer multiple coats for extra-volumised paradise lashes that won’t budge.

And for the handle, look closely. Some mascaras come with curved handles for easier grip, like the Essence Lash Princess, or there are some with cone-shaped handles like Maybelline’s Lash Sensational. An easier grip means you have more control over application, which leads to more even coverage. You won’t go wrong with a regular tube-shaped handle, though, as they are still user-friendly to hold.When it comes to mascara results, most of us will be happy as long as we’re given length, definition and volume – and sometimes a little bit of curl thrown in for good measure. This budget buy does achieve all of those things to some extent. It lifts lashes and, if you use an eyelash curler beforehand, it holds the shape relatively well. Mascara is important to me. I love looking like I have long and voluminous eyelashes. I am a daily makeup-wearer but tend to skip a few days of wearing mascara, just because sometimes I don’t feel like removing it. I usually wear mascara three to five times per week, so it’s an absolute must-have product in my makeup arsenal. Volume is the focus here, but we also noticed some length added, especially to the lower lashes (we love how easy it is to hug those bottom lashes without smearing anything on the undereye). A primer is available as well, which is applied underneath the regular mascara. We found that it even further lengthened the wear-time and also enhanced the depth of color. It’s not completely necessary, though, and we think the mascara on its own worked impressively in the long-lasting waterproof department.

While the name implies a focus on just lengthening (“sky high” as in your lashes will reach sky-high), we were pleasantly surprised by the fact that it offers both length and volume. And while it does offer both like Maybelline Lash Sensational, it offers even more length thanks to its gripping design. This is mainly thanks to the shape of the brush, which is wider at the base than at the top.

Discover some things you should look out for when choosing a mascara with a waterproof formula – it won’t be the same as when you’re choosing a non-waterproof mascara as there are different aspects to pay attention to. Brush Shape We love how easy it is to add definition to the lower lashes using the smaller bristles at the tip of the brush, as they avoid too much product being brushed on. Another unique feature is the rose hip oil infusion, which softens and moisturizes your lashes for longer wear – something you don’t always find in waterproof versions. We found that the overall end result is somewhat similar to Clinique’s High Impact Waterproof Mascara, but it has more staying-power than Clinique’s. A Lift Model Extreme complex is incorporated into this mascara, which is based on the composition of hairspray, and in partnership with the waterproof formula, is the secret ingredient that makes it so long-wearing. Much like every makeup product out there, you’ve got a plethora of choices between drugstore and high-end. A lot of the difference comes down to the brand and formula combinations used, but there are plenty of dupes out there for higher end mascaras – hence why we’ve included a combo of both drugstore and high end. This means when you apply, the wider base will push more product into the base of your lashes, creating more volume, while the thinner top part fans out your lashes and lengthens. It’s also a Flex Tower Brush, which means it’s a flexible material that moves with your own movements, giving you more control during application. We enjoyed this flexibility because it allowed us to bend the brush to get right into the base of the lashes without much effort at all. Bamboo extract helps to both prevent clumping and increase wear-time, as it doesn’t weigh down the lashes.

Chanel Inimitable Waterproof Mascara

At first we were a little skeptical since these large-sized brushes usually clump, but what makes this one different is its super creamy formula that helps it slide on smoothly. This also means that it’s buildable, so you can achieve a more natural or full-coverage look depending on what you feel. The best waterproof mascaras prove reliable in the best and worst of times, preventing smudging and running onto the rest of your face. Much like waterproof eyeliners, mascaras with waterproof formulas will give you the confidence of all-day wear, especially when you’re met with watery eyes (whether that’s allergies, crying, etc.). Silicone brushes are one of our favorite types because they reduce clumping and provide a smoother application in most cases. This Oblique style is also what gives a curling effect, as the twisting bristle design helps separate and lift the lashes as you apply.
