Eyes: Shadow, Liner, Mascara & Lashes · Product guide
Lengthening mascara
A fibre or polymer mascara that extends the lash tip.
Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca. Part of the Eyes: Shadow, Liner, Mascara & Lashes guide.
When to use it
On short lashes, and where definition matters more than density.
On Moroccan skin, in a Moroccan climate
Fibre formulas can shed in heat. Set with a top coat for a long evening.
The rule that runs through every product on this site: check undertone, not just depth. Most Moroccan skin is olive or golden, and a neutral or pink-based product greys within the hour however precisely the depth matches. And for any long event, set in thin successive passes rather than one heavy layer — accumulated product slides in coastal humidity, while product laid down thinly stays.
What it will not do
Volume. It stretches rather than thickens.
The most common mistake
Applying more coats to build volume. It only lengthens.
