Product Reviewed: Too Faced Better Than False Lashes Mascara


Too Faced's new mascara duo prefers to be called a 'lash extension system.'  This duo includes an activating mascara base/top coat and nylon stretch fibers.  (To use: first apply the black mascara then brush on the nylon fibers and finish off with a second coat of mascara.  Repeat up to five times for maximum results.)  I've found that the system is definitely unique, but falls short of the 'false lash' look it promises.  The fibers add noticeable volume at the lash base, but only adds a little bit of length.  The fibers worked, but only produced results similar to using a lash primer.  This duo made my lashes look nice, but didn't live up to its lofty promise.  On clients, I've seen the formula read clumpy.  Overall, more of a novelty than a revolutionary new lash system.


Tip: Don't use a lash curler with this product.  The lashes will clump and lose their volume and length.


Another tip:  While I didn't experience any irritation, a few clients with sensitive eyes were bothered by the fibers.  I wouldn't recommend this product for anyone with sensitive eyes.


****UPDATE**** In order to remove this mascara you will need a heavy-duty waterproof eye makeup remover.
