FormulaVolumizing, buildable

BUXOM Lash Volumizing Mascara is a prestige volumizing formula in classic Blackest Black, designed to build bold lash fullness with minimal clumping. The brush features a flexible, densely-packed bristle wand that coats lashes evenly from root to tip. The formula is waterproof and offers solid smudge resistance through most of the day, making it suitable for all-day wear. Best for those seeking dramatic volume without the commitment of false lashes or fiber mascaras. A midrange prestige option that performs well but carries a premium price point ($26) typical of the Buxom prestige line.
