## Should you buy this?

A volume-and-curl mascara with an hourglass brush, curl-holding polymers and conditioning peptides, £28 for 8ml. Choose it for full, curled lashes; the waterproof version is separate.

Skip this if you want natural, separated length, or a mascara in more than two core shades.

A volume-and-curl lash with an hourglass brush — lashes as the feature, the rest of the eye kept quiet.

## The formula

Better Than Sex pairs an hourglass-shaped brush with film-forming polymers designed to hold curl and peptides to condition lashes. The standard formula is washable; Too Faced sells a separate waterproof version.

Volume and curl descriptions are the brand’s; The Cast Index has not wear-tested it.

## Who it’s for

Anyone who wants lashes to be the main feature, with fullness and curl. Chocolate gives a softer outline than black.

## What should you check before buying?

Choose washable or waterproof deliberately. Volume mascaras can look heavy on very fine lashes; build a second coat only after the first has set.

## How to use it

1. Wiggle the brush from the lash roots to the tips
2. Build a second coat before the first dries if you want more volume
3. Remove gently at night
