The Cult Mascara For Volume & Lift

With thousands of 5* reviews, YSL’s Lash Clash mascara is a brand bestseller. It offers full, fat XXL lashes in just a few sweeps – in fact, it promises 200% more volume after just five strokes*. It combines a wax formula with jet-black pigments that offer instant definition and lift. A big part of its success is the shape of the wand, which is large and wide, coating every single lash for a fluffy – never spidery – effect. The formula also goes on without flaking, so you get a seamless glide every single time. Extra points for the sleek and chic packaging, which is exactly what you’d expect from the French brand.

Unlike some mascaras, this one is easy to remove, too. The formula dissolves easily with your cleanser or warm water so you never have to tug or pull at your eyes.

We recommend applying this directly to the root of your lashes then using a wiggle technique, sweeping the wand through your lashes side to side right through to the ends. Repeat this at least twice to ensure your lashes look thick and full. Don’t neglect the inner and outer corners either – use the tip to flick out your lashes at the edges, and the shorter side of the wand to focus on the inner area. Doing this gives you an elongated, eye-opening effect.

Don’t be afraid to layer up either – while a couple of coats is enough, a layered approach at night will give you maximum volume. Apply your first two layers, then when the formula is semi-dry, layer up once more, working the wand through the ends and the tips to build a faux lash effect. The beauty of this mascara is that it’s malleable, so you can keep working on it until you achieve your desired results.
