mascara

Mascara is a makeup bag must-have. One swipe of rich black pigment is an instant mood (& lash) booster!

Whether you’re going for a natural look or your mantra is the “bigger the better,” there’s a tarte™ mascara for you! There’s a reason it's one of our top product categories featured in the media & on TikTok.

Not sure which mascara is right for you? If you have short eyelashes, try one of our lengthening mascaras. If you have slick straight lashes, you’ll want a mascara that curls. If you have dense lashes, look for a brush that separates every last lash. If you have thin lashes, get a volumizing mascara. If you have brittle lash hair, look for a formula with powerful ingredients that condition & strengthen.

Our mascaras are only infused with the best, good-for-you ingredients like jojoba to help hydrate, strengthen & protect lashes & carnauba wax for smooth application with lengthening & volumizing benefits.

If you have sensitive eyes or skin around the eyes, don’t worry — our mascaras are ophthalmologist tested, safe for contact lens-wearers & dermatologist tested. Plus, all of our mascaras are free of synthetic fragrances.

Let’s talk specifics. Our best-selling maneater™ mascara has been featured across the globe from newsstands to TikTok, & it won an Allure Best of Beauty Award for best mascara in the drama category. The custom brush features over 500 bristles that coat & separates each & every single lash. You’ll notice an immediate improvement in length, volume & curl. No, really — 100% of subjects in a clinical study had longer, fuller lashes after application. It looks like falsies! It’s perfect if you’re a social butterfly, as it delivers 16 hours of long wear to take you from day to night. Pair it with the rest of our maneater™ collection for fierce cat eyes & more purr-fect looks.

If you’re looking for an instant lash lift, lights, camera, lashes™ is like a push-up bra for your lashes™! This 4-in-1 mascara volumizes, lengthens, curls & conditions. The 360° magniLASH wand was designed with straight lashes in mind, featuring short bristles for volume & longer bristles for curl. The ultra-dark pigment defines lashes & makes eyes appear bigger.

If you haven’t heard, our maneater™ & lights, camera, lashes™ mascaras got sisters in 2022. You asked & we delivered a new brown color in both formulas. We also took the same great maneater™ formula you know & love & made it waterproof (we already have a lights, camera, splashes™ waterproof mascara, too)!

If you’re going for lashes au naturel, clean up your lash game with surfer curl™ volumizing mascara. The lash lifter™ wand lifts & fans out lashes, delivering natural volume & curl. In fact, it delivers a 46% increase in lash curl. No, seriously — 100% of subjects in a clinical study said their lashes looked instantly fuller. Did we mention it’s sweatproof, 12-hour flake-free & 12-hour smudge-proof? The thing that really sets this mascara apart is its nourishing formula. It’s infused with conditioning antioxidants like marine plants, vitamin E & gardenia flowers. Plus, water & castor oil moisturize lashes.

P.S. all of our mascaras come in travel size!

The secret to any good mascara, according to our professional makeup artist, is priming your lashes. Our opening act™ lash primer not only primes but gives lashes a boost up while also strengthening. The 360° magniLASH brush evenly applies the lengthening formula to make lashes appear fuller & thicker. The formula is similar to a lash treatment, infused with plant-derived thickening agent cellulose, conditioning olive esters to protect lashes, antioxidant vitamin C to fight free radicals & natural emollient carnauba wax. This formulation enhances the length, curl & volume of your mascara of choice.

When it comes to mascara application, you don’t have to be a pro. It’s easy to learn  — just follow these tips. Pump up your lashes with one of our lash lift curlers, then prime. Place the brush of your mascara at the root of your lashes & wiggle in a zig-zag motion to the tip. If you’re going for a bold look, the more mascara, the better. Apply multiple layers for maximum drama. You can create an eye-catching look with your fave eyeshadow & a strong eyeliner on your lash line, finished with a volumizing mascara. Swipe on your favorite lip liner & lipstick for a ready-in-5 look.
