Extended Play Lash Mascara

OUR EDITORIAL REVIEW

Packaging:

This mascara comes in a tube that has a gypsy blue color. Its cover has a light blue color, which creates a nice contrast, and makes it instantaneously recognizable in a makeup bag. The tube is slim, slick, and simple, and has a thin, long, and cone-shaped brush with wide spaced spiraled bristles.

Color:

This mascara has a very well pigmented deep black color.

Effect:

While applying the mascara on the lashes, we noticed how easy it was to coat the lashes from their very root thanks to the skinny brush supplied. This enabled the lashes to look more defined, especially when applied on short lashes.
We were also able to reach the lashes of the inner and outer corners of the eyes which are usually impossible to coat without creating a mess. This is due to the cone shape of the brush.
Once applied on the lashes, we saw that the lashes were very well separated, and that the texture of mascara is a mix of a dry and a wet coat. Indeed, it’s a thin black film that dried rapidly and created a natural look suitable for an everyday use. You can add additional coats to the look, however bear in mind that it will still offer minimal volumizing action, therefore if you are looking to create a bold, edgy evening look, you will surely have to use another mascara or apply false lashes. On the other hand, this mascara might elongate your lashes especially if you have short lashes, but it will not curl them nor preserve your curls.
After a while, we noticed that the mascara stayed in place and lasted all day; it didn’t smudge nor clump, and most importantly it proved to be non-transferable. When it will be time to take it off, you will probably have to force it, and use something else than warm water for it to go away.
This mascara is actually great for coating the bottom lashes, as it will coat them with great precision, defining them without any problem.

Price:

This mascara costs 18$ on the official website of MAC, for a capacity of 5.6(ml). This price is situated in the upper range of mascara prices. It’s actually costlier than mascaras from L’Oreal, Maybelline, Too Faced etc. and closer to the price of Lancome, Clarins, Dior etc. mascaras, for a similar capacity.
