Over-the-Top Brush for Over-the-Top Lashes

Making a bold statement calls for an attention grabbing brush! Estée Lauder has developed the exclusive Extreme BrushComber™ – a big brush in a new shape that gives you all the thickening of a brush with the definition of a comb. The brush holds more mascara, which means it will magnify and multiply lashes by delivering additional product and performance. The triangle cut is easy to use and reaches every corner of your lashes despite its big size.

Extreme Bold Volume™ Formula

This mousse-like formula contains a calculated blend of light-weight gels, polymers, waxes and pigments that create lightweight volume without clumping. A new blend of hybrid powders made of different sizes, spherical Silica and plates of Mica, maximizes volume to the extreme.

The Tri-blend Multiplying Fibers – exclusive to Estée Lauder – act like lash extensions – filling in even the sparsest of lashes – to instantly magnify and multiply the look of lashes. Three fibers create unprecedented volume
to each individual lash:

• NEW Hollow Tube Fiber (Continuous Curl and Length) – This new flexible fiber is hollow in the middle so it won’t weigh lashes down, providing the largest volume at the lightest weight.
• NEW Solid Rod Fiber (Volume and Length) – Lightweight short, dense fibers that fill in between lashes and work as additional lashes. The brush stretches the fibers to create added length and volume to each individual lash.
• Micro-Locking Fiber (Thickening and Length) – Fibers are configured in the unconventional shape of the letter ‘Y’ that interlocks and stacks on top of each other like building blocks to create maximized length and volume. Fibers are specially treated and coated with carbon black to deliver extreme color impact. A special blend of matte micas enriched with super black pigments, combined with illuminatrix pearls, work to capture light and enhance pigment intensity to give lashes rich shine and high drama. Lashes illuminate with extreme sophistication – never dull or dry!

Beautiful lashes begin with healthy lashes. The Lash- Advancing Vitamin Complex is enriched with Panthenol (Vitamin B5) to condition lashes, and the powerful naturally derived antioxidant Rosemary helps to protect lashes against damages from environmental assault. Lashes are supple and flexible– never brittle.

Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara is fragrance free, ophthalmologist tested, and appropriate for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

Sneak Peek: Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Mascara

New for December, Estee Lauder’s Sumptuous Extreme Mascara ($23.50) promises to deliver a volumizing mascara that never clumps and “[makes] eyes look outrageously big and amazingly bold.” The brush even has its own name–Extreme BrushComber–which has a new shape that is said to hold more mascara, be easy to use and get to all your lashes in spite of its size. The formula has “Tri-blend Multiplying Fibers,” which include “Hollow Tube Fibers” for curl and length, “Solid Rod Fibers” for volume and length, and “Micro-Locking Fiber” for thickeness and length. Finally, it contains Lash-Advancing Vitamin Complex, which has Vitamin B5, designed to condition lashes and keep lashes flexible. It will be available in four shades: Extreme Black, Extreme Brown, Extreme Indigo, and Extreme Violet.

The brush itself is quite large–a full 1 3/4″ in length when I measured–but the way it narrows and tapers does make it easier to maneuver around the inner corners of eyes. I do find it more difficult to use it on lower lashes, just because it is so large, but I think users of Dior’s DiorShow won’t find it much larger. After using this mascara for a couple of weeks and alternating with other mascaras, I did feel like the brush itself was more helpful in defining lashes–just separating them as I was applying the mascara–than the average mascara wand.

My fringe definitely looked longer and fuller–it had a slightly feathery quality to it–but the richness of the black made the overall effect more dramatic. I was able to do several passes through my lashes without getting any clumping, and this is a mascara that you can easily do a second or third coat of, too, if desired. It doesn’t dry immediately (15-20 seconds), but it’s not so wet that you’ll have mascara residue underneath your eye if you blink. My lashes felt incredibly lightweight and soft–flexible and bendable. I was able to push and rub (gently!) against my lashes and didn’t experience any flaking either.

I was most impressed by the richness of the Extreme Black shade–deep dark black, very inky and solid. It’s definitely one of the blackest mascaras I’ve tried in recent memory. It volumizes nicely, and it gives enough thickness to my lashes to make them more noticeable, but it still feels like I’m wearing one of the lighterweight, more natural mascaras (think Maybelline Full ‘n Soft) but I get the effect of dramatic mascara. I experienced no flaking, smudging, budging, or other ill effects after twelve-hour wear.

RECOMMENDATION: If you have shorter, sparser lashes, Estee Lauder does double-duty with lengthening and volumizing. Oh, and if you have black lashes but still want them blacker? This will make them even darker!
