The magic of fibre mascaras

August 23, 2020

Want thicker, fuller and longer lashes? Invest in a fibre mascara; it’s almost as good as extensions.

Gorgeous, voluminous lashes will never go out of fashion and we are obsessed with extra-long, fluttery, doe-like lashes. And for the sake of getting the lashes of our dreams, we’d happily opt for extensions or a set of falsies. However, if you want an easy way out then go ahead and invest in a fibre mascara. As the name suggests, the formula contains tiny fibres—usually made of silk, rayon, or nylon—that adhere to the tips of your lashes, giving them extra volume, thickness and length.

The best part about fibre mascaras is that they are just as easy to apply as your regular mascara and there is no need to glue, tape, or cut your falsies. All you have to do is simply swipe on your mascara.

If you are looking for a great fibre mascara that will literally transform your lashes, while looking completely natural, we have you covered. Here’s your fibre mascara guide for getting those sky-high lashes.

Dior Diorshow  Lash-Extension Effect Volume Mascara

Skeptical about the whole fibre thing, try this cult-favorite mascara, which has just a small dose of tiny microfibers that cling to your lashes in a natural, subtle way. The dense spoolie gives long, clump-free lashes every time you swipe it on. Also noteworthy is the tube, which touts a unique airlock system that doesn’t allow air to get in and dry out the mascara. Available in black, brown, and navy blue this Dior mascara gives a lash extension effect and will definitely add some oomph to your eye look.

L’Oreal Paris Voluminous X Fiber Mascara

L’Oreal Paris Voluminous X Fiber Mascara is smudge-resistant, so you never have to worry about smears. The dual-ended formula, which comes in black, soft black, and blackest black, has a mascara-like primer on one end and a fiber-filled mascara on the other, so you can quickly flip back and forth to build intensity fast, without fumbling. It also makes lashes look up to seven times more voluminous. Try soft black when you want a more natural look, black for every day, and blackest black for the most dramatic effect.

Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara

If you hate clumpy lashes; this fiber-filled product is perfect for you. Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara will give you long, feathery lashes that will never smudge or budge. The large tapered brush grabs lashes at root for even more coverage. This fiber mascara contains olive oil to help keep lashes soft and synthetic, as well as natural waxes to create softer and more flexible coverage. Beauty experts suggest applying two coats of the mascara to create thick lashes without clumping.

Glossier Lash Slick

This fibre formula from Glossier is ideal for everyday use; all you have to do is apply two coats for perfectly defined lashes that still look natural. The tiny bristles and fibers in this formula give volume that never looks spidery. The water-resistant formula contains flexible film-forming polymers that curl and lengthen your lashes, creating a baby extension effect. This non-irritant mascara is great for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

Milk Makeup Kush High Volume Mascara

If you’re looking for a feathery finish, this mascara boosts lash volume without giving you clumped, spidery lashes. This High Volume Mascara by Milk Makeup will give you mega-dramatic eyes in no time. Every time you swipe on this mascara, the fibers get deposited onto your lashes for intensity and the cannabis seed oil nourishes and conditions your lashes so they’re healthier and less prone to breakage. Bonus points for the tapered brush that lets you cover every part of your lashes.

Covergirl Super Sizer Fibers Mascara

You don’t need to spend a ton of money to get your hands on a fiber mascara that’s truly amazing. The mascara has a fanned-out brush that uses staggered bristles to coat every single lash (even those itty-bitty hairs at the corners of your eye), and the result is lengthened, defined and thick lashes. What is great about this formula is that you don’t have to scrub like crazy to get it off. Warm water and soap will remove the mascara with ease.
