Official Mascara Correspondent: Shu Uemura Ultimate Natural Mascara

Monday, January 09, 2012


Ready for your 2012 mascara fix? Official Mascara Correspondent Ashleigh Ciucci's got the deets on Shu Uemura Ultimate Natural Mascara. Check it, in Ashleigh's words:



I love love love the brush on this mascara from the Japanese cult brand. While big rubbery brushes are fun and tiny comb-like brushes are workable, there's nothing like a good small spiraled firm brush. The inky formula went on super fluffy, giving me soft wispy lashes.

 A second coat gave me a lot of thickness at the roots and delicately spiked tips. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't glam up my eye with a midday touch-up; the product was simply too dry.

 However, this mascara has major staying power. I washed with soap and water AND used my regular eye makeup remover. It actually took a healthy dose of Shu's cleansing oil to get rid of all the residue. This is a plus and a minus! I'd recommend this to anyone who has long days that lead into long nights!
