Product | “Take your sultry, flashy lashes to the extreme with this amped up, ultra-black mascara that lengthens, curls and magnifies lashes for an intensified look proven to increase lash volume by 752% instantly!” – Tarte Cosmetics
Pigmentation | The pigmentation of this mascara is very rich and ultra black. It dries a satin/matte black without smudging or turning gray over time.
Application | The built-in mascara wand has a dual sided brush the shorter, denser side of the brush delivers the optimal amount of mascara to volumize and coat each lash perfectly, then the longer, firmer side of the brush lengthens and separates for maximum volume without clumping. The only problem I’ve found with this is over time after the brush has been coated with mascara, it’s hard to tell the difference between the two sides.
Texture | The texture is very light and creamy. It’s not too thin or thick but I wouldn’t say it’s a cream based mascara. It provides great coverage and dries to a flexible cake over each lash.
Longevity | The Lights, Camera, Flashes Statement mascara lasts all day. I didn’t experience any flaking or smudging or any transfer when I touched my lashes. It is very easy to remove with a little olive oil with minimal rubbing.

Overall |
The Light Camera Flashes Mascara is one of my personal favorites for a few reason. I have very short, straight and thin lashes so I normally don’t get good use out of mascara on their own. Falsies are this girls bestfriend. BUT with the Lights Camera Flashes Mascara I get so much volume and length I can wear it alone. The formula doesn’t cause my lashes to be too stiff and/or brittle. It’s easy to remove at the end of the day without giving me raccoon eyes. I also feel like the continued use of this mascara has made my lashes stronger over time, maybe because of the Provitamin B5. They appear a little fuller even without anything on. This is a great product for lengthening and volumizing with a little lift and curl.
