Cause a Flutter
Mascara is a truly personal affair, one person loves a huge brush to invoke serious volume, while another prefers a small one to get precise definition. This season we recommend having a few mascaras for different looks; whether the pared-back fluttery lash or the all-out full lash for evening glamour.

faux cils longest lash mascara
“This is my mascara of choice for photo shoots because it adds tremendous volume and doesn’t flake or clump. Plus, it gives my lashes amazing definition. An added bonus is that its cruelty-free formula conditions and promotes lash growth. It’s perfect for anyone looking for a high-performance, cruelty-free formula.”

“When my client is hitting the red carpet, I use this mascara because of its long-lasting, clump-free formula. It’s great to use when the lashes are dull, because the conditioning formula adds shine. Tip: start at the outer corner of the eye and work inward – this helps to avoid smudging.”

the expert mascara
“The Expert Mascara is one of my favorite mascaras because of its genius two-sided brush, which allows me to customize the volume and length of lashes and gives an amazing lifted effect. The buildable formula allows me to add several layers without lashes looking clumpy or feeling heavy.”

“This mascara is super-pigmented and its strategically tapered brush tip helps me quickly find and lengthen every hard to reach lash. I’m obsessed with it because its unique formula gives immediate volume, as well as long term lengthening results – perfect for anyone who struggles with shorter lashes.”

“This is a WOW mascara! It saves me time on-set because I don’t need to apply false lashes. The combination of the unique silicone applicator, which is contoured to hug your lashes, the ultra-black formula and thickening texture does the job in record time.”

Pointilliste Mascara
“This is the perfect size for on-set touch-ups – the mini brush defines lower lashes with ease. The formula rocks – I love that it can be removed with warm water, and leaves no mess! This makes it great for low-maintenance clients who want a product that’s easy to use.”

Relevée Lash Curler
“A must in my makeup kit, this prepping tool results in extra gorgeous, perfectly curled lashes every time. It gives my eyes a more open and lifted appearance. Practice makes perfect – and remember, always use your eyelash curler before you apply mascara to avoid getting stuck.”
