Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara
The fan-brush mascara that catches even your smallest lashes - here as a value pack in Intense Black.
Lash Sensational has been a staple for years because its curved fan brush picks up lashes layer by layer that a regular brush misses. The result is volume with a fanned-out effect without needing ten coats. In Intense Black the pigment is nicely deep. As a value pack the price per tube is good, and as a little gift or stocking filler it's a safe, much-loved choice around 35 euro.
Reasons to buy
- Curved fan brush catches the small inner-corner lashes layer by layer
- Deep black pigment for a striking but wearable look
- Builds volume and length without clumping straight away
- Value pack: favourable price per tube
Watch-outs
- With too many coats it can still clump - less is more
- This variant isn't waterproof, so less suited to a full day of rain or tears
- A mascara lasts about three months after opening; use a stockpile within that window
Why the brush makes the difference
The strength is in the shape. The brush is gently curved with bristle bundles of varying length, so in one pass you catch both the large and the tiny lashes. That gives the fanned-out look the name 'Sensational' suggests, without stacking coat on coat.
How to use it best
Start at the root, wiggle lightly and pull to the tip. One or two coats is enough for most people; for more drama apply the second coat while the first isn't fully dry. For the lower lashes use the tip of the brush.
Who is it a good gift for?
A safe beauty gift: well-known, well-loved and suited to almost any lash type. Nice as a standalone treat or in a larger beauty set. Less logical for anyone specifically after waterproof or a lengthening fibre mascara.
Frequently asked questions
Is this mascara waterproof?
This Intense Black variant is the regular (non-waterproof) formula. For swimming or an emotional day, look at the waterproof version.
How long does mascara keep?
About three months after opening. With a value pack, keep one tube in use at a time and the rest sealed.
Does it clump?
With normal use barely, but with too many coats it can. One or two coats gives the nicest result.
