A recent addition to Chanel's line of makeup is this intense volume and curl mascara. Its innovative 6-sided applicator combines the traditional tip with plastic sides to create clump-free lashes. The product description promises clump-free and smudge-free lashes, which (for the most part) is accurate. Any clumps you may get can be fixed with another swipe of the wand. After I used it I noticed that my lashes looked fuller, almost like a false-lash look. The color adds a dramatic effect to the look of your lashes. Start at the base and rotate the applicator up and out from the lash line after curling. My lashes tend to go flat, so the curl the mascara says it delivers didn’t hold. I use a heated wand lash curler throughout the day to pick up my lashes when they fall. There are four shades to choose from.

Shades: smoky noir, smoky brun, smoky marine, and smoky violine

Price: $28.00
