Shiseido Imperiallash Mascara Ink, 01 Sumi Black

I bought this on holiday and it’s been my go to mascara ever since (I have tried what feels like every mascara out there) the longevity is what sold it, It will literally not budge unless you have a killer oil based remover I learned the hard way but the length and curl lasts incredibly! Not it’s not the most volumising of them all but extremely buildable.

It take long to be dry and does not give any lifting or volume

Best mascara, amazing wand for small almond eyes re application without smudging, gorgeous shape to the lashes that I’ve never seen in any mascara before, cat whisker look

Finally, a mascara that's not thick & clumpy when applying. Love the tip of the wand with the tiny bristles to get the inner & outer corners. I apply a 2nd coat after a minute or 2 for a bit more dramatic look. Love that this distributes evenly on lashes for a natural look. The case itself is beautiful. Now my favorite mascara.

Got mine just a week ago from Harrods and even though I was skeptical (it is my first time using Shiseido mascara), I am completely stunned by it. I asked for lengthening mascara as I am not a big fan of super bold lashes and in my experience, the volumizing mascaras tend to clump on my short and fine lashes. So decided to try it and as you can see - one coat is absolutely enough and ensures good definition and coverage. No clumps, no fallout, no issues at all. It is a definite YES from me and pretty sure I will stick to it until I stumble on something even better.
