Wait — what? Tom Ford’s Ultra Length Mascara in Raven is $42?
Daaayuuum!
I’ve seen the future, girl, and it’s a world where mascaras cost almost $50 a pop.
Cats also roam free in supersonic airline cabins and Nutella-flavored Pop Tarts are free, and those are pretty cool, but I don’t know if they make up for the price of this mascara… Maybe.
Ultra Length Mascara is new to Tom Ford’s line. It’s designed to stretch and lengthen lashes while adding a deep, dark carbon-black color.
I’ve been wearing it a few days now, and I like what I seen. Two coats and my lashes look crazy long and dark. Plus, it doesn’t flake or smudge.
But truth be told…I was expecting even more considering the price. The formula stretches my lashes out so much that I also lose much of my lash curl, and I see lumps when I apply multiple coats, which I want to do to squeeze out more thickness and definition.
If Raven’s piqued your interest, it’s available now on Neiman Marcus Tom Ford counters and coming soon to neimanmarcus.com.

Hmm…I pay $36 for Lancôme oscillation mascara but that’s only when a free gift with purchase is involved.
Karen says
Remember when a $30 tube of DiorShow was scandalous?!
Charisma says
My favorite mascara right now are from Chanel and Benefit and they’re still way cheaper than this.
Karen says
Which Chanel one do you like? Le Volume?
Kim says
Egad, Tom. I’m willing to shell out some cash for mascara but, for that price, it had better make my lashes look like falsies! 🙂
Karen says
Yes. And it would have to attract all the neighborhood cats, so they’d follow me around while I took my afternoon walk. That would be awesome. 😀
Amanda says
I love me some high-end/prestige cosmetics, but the price points are really pushing the envelope. It makes me grouchy. I defend the quality of certain things, like a $24 gel eyeliner and a $30 tube of lipstick, but in all honesty neither product is “worth” that amount of $$.
Karen says
Hi Amanda,
I love me some high-end makeup too. What brands are your favorites?
Amanda says
Right now I’m luvin’ the Hourglass Femme Rouge lipstick (Vintage, per your recommendation!) and the Hourglass primers. MAC, Bobbi Brown and NARS are my go-to brands. I’ve never tried Chanel or Dior, but I might talk myself into splurging on some Chanel nail polish or other goodies for my birthday 🙂
Karen says
Birthdays are the best days for Chanel. Any day, really. I need to go to the counter soon to do some retail therapy. When’s your b-day? I’m a gemini, muself.

I’d get far better results using by $4 Jordana Best Lash Extreme. PASS!
Karen says
Hi LC,
Haven’t tried that one yet. Is it good for curl hold?
Tennyoceres says
At that price tag it should say it’s made of moon dust and some rare bygone era materials. Yes your lashes look super long but they look flat. This is a pass for me.
Karen says
Hi Tennyoceres,
Have you seen the new Clarins one? It’s my jam these days.
StrayCat says
My tabby, Hazel, is switchin’ her tail in annoyance over another fine cat lady caught by the hypnotic kitty nip of Tom Ford! Don’t succumb to his nip! You’ll start craving it like tuna with gravy ON TOP! Hazel’s assistance loves a good mascara too and has been a slave to Armani’s Eyes to Kill for years…but it is STILL cheaper than Tom’s nip and she’s buys it when Nordies does the ” buy 2 get one free” events. Hazel loves how long and separated her assistance’s lashes are especially when they are looking over her food bowl.
Karen says
This made me laugh. Tell Hazel that Tabs says “Mrrow.” 😀
Kiss & Make-up says
Wow, for that price I’d expect a lot more to be honest.
Danielle says
This doesn’t sound too great considering the price, but I do like the brush.
Ankita@corallista says
I have fairly long lashes, what I want is volume. Currently loving my Shiseido mascara – it gives me amazing volume but is a pain to remove!
Heidi says
Yeah, don’t think I’ll be forking out the cash for this one. I’m still loving Too Faced’s Better than Sex mascara.
Kristin says
Hi Karen,
I love your eyeshadow and lips in this picture. Can you tell me what you used. I know I should be excited by the mascara but the whole look is amazing! The mascara looks good but I’m not sure its worth it. I’ve tried them all and Maybelline falsies gives me crazy long lashes and its under $10. 🙂
Thanks your pictures are amazing!

I like a lot of Tom Ford products but feel his prices are too high! I’ve wanted one of his perfumes for a while but don’t want to spend $200 for a bottle, all of his makeup is over priced imo.The drugstore mascaras by Maybelline could rival this one.I really like Chanel’s Le Volume (thanks Karen) for a high end mascara though.
hanna says
I couldn’t justify spending so much on this mascara when there are so many cheaper ones that work just as well.
Eileen says
I love Tom Ford cosmetics in general and have numerous products, but that mascara price is just too, too much–especially for a product I toss out every two months. I’ll stick with my Guerlain Lashes D’Enfer Maxi lash. I stock up during Nordstrom’s twice yearly Mascara Madness which brings the price down to reasonable.
Chelsea says
I’ll stick with my Chanel!
Regina says
Lancome’s mascaras are $50 in Singapore! So is Chanel! I haven’t even bother to find out the price of Tom Ford’s.
