There’s no quicker way to ruin a look than to apply clumpy, flaky mascara. Every thing else I can fix: apply a bit more foundation, use a little cotton swab – but if my mascara goes wrong, that is it! Off must everything come with a full-face wash. As you can imagine, I’m not happy when that happens and make sure I go out of my way to let everyone know about such awful mascaras.
Here I am – mascara free (where did my lashes go?)
That’s what I thought I would have to do with Estee Lauder’s new Sumptuous Color Bold Volume Lifting Mascara -and thankfully, it was not the case! When I first applied it, all I got was clumpy – and I mean CLUMPY – lashes. Nothing else. I mean, the color was great but who cared when all of your lashes were bunched together into one?
Gorgeous colors – could they work?
Though I was ready to toss these, I decided to try them again and I’m glad I did. The formula in this mascara is actually great, with its blend of fine peals and pigments and lightweight gels – all things that help your lashes look longer and fuller – and supposedly clump free. The trick here is to rid the brush of some excess mascara. Immediately, the results were drastic:
Got lashes? 
I think that because the brush is so round and includes two types of fibers, that it collects a bit more mascara than other brushes, thus causing clumps (Maybe Estee Lauder should try something like LashControl genius packaging!). Once you do get rid of the excess though, this mascara goes on beautifully.
The colors are incredible – Amber, Garnet, Sapphire, Amethyst and Emerald – and it stays on all day.
Here’s a close up of Emerald – a jeweled green that looks stylish – not Halloweenish
And Garnet – a deep purple perfect for hazel eyes
