Urban Decay Perversion Lenghtening & Volumising Mascara, Intense Black

Product Information

For lashings of sex appeal and high voltage drama, introduce Perversion Mascara into your make up bag. Effect: Lengthening, volumizing | Formula: Washable and waterproof formulas | Brush type: Nylon brush with full, fluffy criss-cross bristles Perversion 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. This mascara from Gwen Stefani’s makeup line has been receiving a great deal of hype —and it’s actually worthy. The formula doesn’t dry stiff (a pet peeve of ours), but rather leaves lashes feeling soft, flexible, and natural while creating a doe-eyed look. This is due to the castor and argan oil-infused formula, which actually conditions lashes with wear.

As you can see from this list so far, some mascaras are meant to create naturally defined lashes while others deliver dramatic results—and this one falls into the latter category. The formula contains nourishing ingredients, like avocado oil, castor oil, jojoba oil, and a blend of vegan waxes to keep the lashes hydrated, prevent breakage, and add volume. 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.Ultimately, this formula is best used for a more natural and flirty aesthetic, so if you are trying to build up layer after layer, you may just see more of the same. That said, we do enjoy using it as a “base coat” of sorts for bolder looks, giving lashes a nourishing foundation beneath standard volumizing mascaras. They both do not contain any harsh alcohols, common allergens, fragrances, oils, parabens or sulfates. While we fully endorse the mascaras on this list, which are formulated with ingredients to support healthy and happy lashes (so long as you’re taking them off every night!), taking a break from mascara will really help your lashes get stronger. “Try opting for a lash lift and tint which curls your lashes at the root and tints them darker so that you can skip the mascara altogether,” suggests Thomas.

Our one con with this mascara is that it can get slightly clumpy. But if you’re looking for a falsies effect, this might not bother you. To remove clumps, we suggest taking an eyelash comb and gently combing your lashes after applying the mascara to remove excess product.

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. Effect: Curling, lengthening | Formula: Waterproof | Brush type: Curved nylon brush with evenly spaced bristles They both do not contain any harsh alcohols, common allergens, fragrances, oils, parabens or silicones.

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.

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!

Effect: Lifting, lengthening | Formula: Washable | Brush type: Silicone brush with asymmetrical bristles One of our favorite plant extracts to look for in lash growth formulas is castor seed oil. Many people use this natural ingredient as a homeopathic remedy, applying it to their lashes, brows, and scalps to help stimulate hair growth. There’s something to it, though — ricinoleic acid is one of the most concentrated fatty acids found in castor seed oil, and it’s been proven to have an effect on hair growth. Remember, the key to seeing success from lash growth formulas is using them every day. That’s why we like the idea of mascara infused with ingredients that support lash growth — it’s easy for us to remember to use our mascara!
