Gold Light Topcoat Mascara

OUR EDITORIAL REVIEW

Packaging:

This mascara comes in a basic small black tube with “Guerlain” and “Gold Light Top Coat” marked on it with two gold stripes. It comes with a traditional shaped brush, and with a short wand that tackles the corners of the eyes. It is sized in a way to fit in your bag or makeup kit.

Color:

This mascara comes in one color, gold, as it is a limited-edition mascara. It is very well pigmented, and the gold color stands out once applied on your lashes.

Effect:

This mascara gives a shimmery golden touch to the lashes. It has a clear gel-based formula with bright gold micro glitters. Guerlain released this mascara as a limited-edition product , so it is recommended for your occasions and festivities. It can be used over the lashes, brows and air to add some glam to your look.
It can be applied to your lashes without a black base mascara. It will give your lashes some sparkles and will add volume and length as well.
However, if you usually thicken your lashes by using a normal mascara, be careful when applying the gold topcoat afterwards, as it can clump if the black mascara is still wet. It would be better to wait for the base mascara to dry, and then apply the gold topcoat.
It is worth keeping in mind that the result is still satisfying even if you don’t want to use a black mascara first.
However, this topcoat mascara doesn’t give your lashes the curly effect that you might be looking for have while applying a regular mascara. This mascara lasts all night long, without having to retouch, although it is not waterproof.

Application:

For a natural look, apply the product vertically from the roots to the top of the lashes.
For a “cat-eye” look, apply several coats to boost the volume of your lashes and emphasize the eyes.
For a more sophisticated look, you can apply the product on your brows and on your hair.

Price:

26$ on the official website of Guerlain, with a capacity of (4.5 ml). This price is similar to the price of high-end brands mascaras. However, this product has half the capacity of the products in the same price range. Therefore, this mascara is considered expensive.
