FormulaUltra-creamy, conditioning
Tarte Maneater Mascara is a prestige volumizing and lengthening mascara built on a 500+ bristle custom brush designed to coat and separate lashes for maximum impact. The formula is ultra-creamy, 16-hour wear, and conditions lashes to minimize flaking and clumping. It delivers dramatic volume and visible length with a single coat, making eyes appear bigger and lifted. The waterproof option is available separately. Cruelty-free, dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested, safe for contact lens wearers. Best for those seeking prestige-tier drama and lift without the waterproof commitment.
