As a passionate collector of makeup I’ve have tried many different types of mascaras over the years. Everything that could have been labeled “lifting, volume adding, waterproof, sweatproof, extending, ultra-black, jet black” I tried. I experimented with luxury brands and drugstore brands and still struggled with running mascara, clumpy lashes, fallout, dry and brittle lashes, and minimal volume. I fell in love with the Marc Jacobs mascara and have been using this brand for almost three years. It’s $26 which is still a great price for premium brands, it has a curvy wand and reaches the tiniest lashes for major drama. Its super-concentrated black pigment creates the greatest visual impact along with smudge-proof length and volume.
