Shu Uemura Fiber Extension Mascara
What They Say: "Instant lash extensions. Shu Uemura's latest mascara was designed using a unique technology combining silky-smooth building fibers and long extending fibers - that instantly create uniform, volumized long lashes. The patented, triple stroke brush fits perfectly to lash line, delivering formula to each individual lash. With a single stroke, lashes are coated evenly, effortlessly, with a professional touch. Smudge proof, water-resistant, long-wearing."
Jen's Experience: I realized recently that you hadn't heard much from me in the way of my search for the perfect mascara. I've been awfully happy with my Blinc Kiss Me Mascara, and when I need more oomph, I've been layering Blinc's Lash Primer, a couple coats of Urban Decay Skyscraper, and then topping it all off with the Kiss Me Mascara for the deep color and to keep it in place.
I've been hearing good things about Shu Uemura, especially their false lashes, which I've been too chicken to try. But I am absoluely thrilled that I decided to try this product. It does a great job of coating my lashes. It doesn't clump, even when I put on tons of layers. The extension part is real -- I am very conscious of my eyelashes hitting my sunglasses when I am leaving the house. But most importantly for me, it actually lasts all day long without leaving me looking like a football player. Amazingly, when I try to take it off at night, it comes off pretty easily with water and a washcloth.
I'm not saying the search is over, but this mascara is definitely a candidate for the perfect mascara.
