Which Lashlighter Is Right For You?
1. Lashlighter Up & Out Mascara
Have short and dense lashes and are looking for extra length and lift? This mascara might just be the one for you. Think of this formula as the ultimate waterproof warrior, providing added lift and length with help from synthetic microfibers. Our Lashlighter Up & Out Mascara is a lash-friendly rock star, enriched with goodies like peptides, jojoba oil, and more to protect and strengthen your lashes with each and every swipe.
Plus, its feather-comb brush has a unique shape that is expertly designed to hug your eye, while three rows of micro-tooth combs catch and coat every lash from root to tip. Did we mention this formula is waterproof? That means your look (and lashes) will slay throughout the day. Now that’s what we call a highlight!
2. Lashlighter Iron Curl Mascara
If you’ve ever wondered about those K-beauty mascaras with the metal wand that everyone seems to rave about, we’ve got our own version that might pique your interest. Like most metal wand mascaras, our Lashlighter Iron Curl Mascara features a dual screw-pitch brush that works hard to keep straight, dense lashes curled. Thin 0.75mm grooves load up volume, while even thinner 0.5mm grooves glide through with precise, lash-by-lash definition.
Infused with Cur-Liftia™, the formula sets fast and locks in a lifted curl. Plus, added fibers subtly extend, while meadowfoam and jojoba oils keep lashes soft, strong, and ready to flex. No drooping, no drama, and perfect for straighter lashes that need that extra hold! Since this formula is also waterproof, be careful while removing it to keep your lashes and eyes protected. We have a section about safely removing your mascara down below!
3. Lashlighter Infinite Tubing
Calling all glam lovers with sensitive eyes: our Infinite Tubing Mascara might just be your new everyday lash staple. “But doesn’t all mascara come in a tube?”, you may be wondering. Tubing mascara refers not to the packaging but to the formula of the mascara itself which coats each lash in a tube-like formation. These “tubes” are sometimes visible when removing tubing mascara as, instead of an oil cleanser or mascara remover, all you need to slide off this mascara is a damp cotton pad.
The Infinite Tubing mascara features lakesis to strengthen lashes, acetyl tetrapeptide-3 to promote a healthier lash base, and a tapered cone brush for easy application. The unique Flake-Off Tubing Tech™ in this mascara allows for a gentle removal with just warm water. This means you won’t be left with any raccoon-style smudging during the day or at the time of removal. Tubing mascara is best for those who want an easy-on, easy-off option and want to avoid any mascara mishaps caused by humidity or oily lids.
How to Remove Mascara for Healthy Lashes
We’ve all been there — sleepy and ready to start winding down for the night, but unfortunately, your mascara didn’t get the memo and is still club-ready. Thankfully, there are multiple ways to remove waterproof mascara, whether it be via cleansing balm/oil, micellar water, or a dedicated mascara remover like our EZ Remove Lash Essence. This lash essence features a uniformly grooved brush head for coating each lash evenly with its gentle, peptide-infused formula. No need for uncomfortable tugging on lashes or sensitive skin around the eyes, just swipe this nourishing mascara remover onto lashes, take 30 seconds to allow the formula to work its magic (and to grieve your soon-to-be-gone mascara look) before then wiping away any would-be stubborn mascara residue. Be sure to follow up with a good rinse to ensure your lashes are clean, refreshed, and ready for anything (even if the anything in this case is sleep).
Conclusion
Whether you prefer the easy-to-remove formula found in our Infinite Tubing Mascara, the classic lengthening & lifting of our Up & Out Mascara, or the curling power of our Iron Curl Mascara, our Lashlighter collection has a little something for everyone.
