I’m super fussy with mascara because I don’t just care about how it looks when I first apply it. I care about what it looks like at 4pm and whether taking it off feels like a full workout at the end of the day.
I want lashes that look lifted, defined and a bit more awake, but I don’t want to feel like I’m sacrificing my actual lashes every time I remove it. I’m so over mascaras that look good for a few hours, then either smudge everywhere or refuse to come off unless you rub your eyes a ridiculous amount.
These are the mascaras I reach for when I want them to stay put during the day, but not be a whole headache at night.
Hourglass Unlocked Mascara
This is the one I always think of when someone wants a mascara that stays in place but washes off easily. It gives that lengthened, separated lash look without making the lashes feel heavy or crunchy, and it doesn’t give me that annoying grey shadow under the eyes by the afternoon.
The best part is the removal. It stays put all day with no smudging, no flaking and no running, but when I’m in the shower, it comes off so easily with warm water. It almost looks like latex peeling off my lashes. I don’t feel like I’m rubbing my eyes or tugging at my lashes.
