Sumptuous Color Bold Lifting Mascara

Colored mascara isn’t just for costume parties. You can actually incorporate it into your regular makeup routine, if it’s done right. Estee Lauder recently introduced their limited edition Sumptuous Color Bold Lifting Mascara. Inspired by the colorful fall runway looks of John Galliano and Marc Jacobs, this mascara offers bold color and avante-garde glamour. It’s definitely daring but not overwhelming.

You can find Estee Lauder Sumptuous Color Bold Lifting Mascara in five amazing shades: Amber, Garnet, Sapphire, Amethyst and Emerald. You can wear them alone for a dramatic pop of color or layering the color on top of your regular black mascara for a more subtle look. You can find this limited edition mascara at Estee Lauder counters and online at esteelauder.com for $19.50.

The formula’s mousse-like, jellified suspension system utilizes “swollen” water to gently and lightly suspend the ingredients, allowing the use of less wax to add dramatic volume and lifting. Adding to the exceptionally light base are ultra-light, lash thickening, “Y”-shaped Micro-Lock fibers that reinforce the volume enhancing, airy properties of the formula. These innovative nylon fibers interlock and stack together to create a pillow-like cushion around each lash, filling in even the sparsest of lashes and delivering glamorously rich volume and lift. The fibers are blended with Tack-Flex polymers that have the ability to quickly coat lashes from root to tip keeping lashes, light and flexible while adding exaggerated volume and weightless lift.

Add in their technologically advanced brush design and what does all that mean to me and you? Long, lush, colorful lashes with lots of lift that don’t clump, flake or fade throughout the day.

For green or hazel eyes, I think the Amethyst shade is gorgeous. Brown eyes are complemented nicely by the Amber or Garnet, while the Emerald adds some drama to blue eyes. Additionally, I tried the Sapphire shade on myself (I have green eyes) and adored the look. And my blue-eyed friend loved it for herself as well. At just $19.50, you can afford to grab a couple of the colors and see what works best for you.
