Rockin’ Bad Mama Jama Eyelashes with Make Up For Ever Smoky Lash Mascara

I’ve been lovin’ my naturally wimpy lashes lately thanks to Make Up For Ever Smoky Lash Mascara in Extra Black ($22). This waterproof delovely does everything a good mascara should, adding dramatic length and volume and holding a mad crazy good curl all day long (it has a densely bristled brush like the one that comes with Diorshow Plum mascara).

Smoky Lash flat-out refuses to smudge, not even after a sweaty 90-minute hip hop class. Between my Cabbage Patch and Kid N’ Play the other night (it was an old-school theme), I couldn’t help but bat my eyelashes in the mirror; they just looked so BILLBOARD. Big, bad and bold, I tell ya, like Heavy D and Chubb Rock in their prime. Makeup and Beauty Blog Rating: A

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

   Yay! I’m so glad you like the mascara, Karen. I don’t see you doing a lot of makeup forever posts so when I saw this one I jumped and couldn’t wait to find out what you think. Chanel is my HG mascara, but you know I love mufe, too.

   Karennnnn!
   I need some help!
   I’m going to high school monday *screams with joy* and i need the best drugstore foundation you’ve ever tried. Light to Medium coverage, neutral shade, and doesnt transfer on to everything *cough Maybelline Mouse stuff cough*. I have no time for sephora , and theres a CVS like 3 blocks away.
   Thanks!

   Yay! I just searched your blog for this the other day! I wasn’t sure if I should buy this one, but I just realized that some of my favorite mascaras aren’t waterproof. I was torn after reading both good and bad reviews of it, but now I am leaning a little more toward “yes”. Thanks!

   wow! your eyelashes look glamorous karen!
   can you compare this mascara with YSL one? YSL is my favourite so i wonder if this one is as equal or even better if that’s possible
   kind regards from croatia

    I have always wanted to try it and I always read great reviews about it I guess It’s my next buy. Hey Kailey try compact foundation or Physicians Formula foundation those never made me breakout and the powders are awesome too.

11. 11. Meghan said, on August 21st, 2009:

    MUFE Smoky Lash is hands down the best mascara I’ve ever used, but the price tag is keeping me from buying the larger size. For now I’ll stick to loreal telescopic lash.

    Hi Shontay,

    I love Chanel too, but I love to hop around. Have you ever tried the Smoky Marine Exceptionnel? I’m sorely tempted by it.

15. 15. Karen said, on August 22nd, 2009:

    Hi Sarah,

    It’s fab, right?

    Have you tried the original Smoky Lash? It’s pretty great too!

16. 16. Karen said, on August 22nd, 2009:

    Hi Nessa,

    I’ll try — hopefully soon!

17. 17. Karen said, on August 22nd, 2009:

    Hi Ilona,

    I’ll see if I can do that soon. Hope you’re having a nice weekend so far!

18. 18. Karen said, on August 22nd, 2009:

    Hi Kailey,

    Revlon Colorstay! It comes in a ton of colors and it doesn’t move. Looks great when applied with a skunk brush (like the MAC 187).

    Are you ready for your first day?

19. 19. Karen said, on August 22nd, 2009:

    Hi CC,

    You’re welcome. For waterproof another one I like is Stila Lash Visor. Have you tried it? It has the same crazy good lash curl as this one (along with volume and length), but the finish is a bit more glossy.

20. 20. Karen said, on August 22nd, 2009:

    Hi Marina,

    Thanks!

21. 21. Karen said, on August 22nd, 2009:

    Hi Irma,

    I wish I could, but unfortch I haven’t tried that one yet.

    BTW, I’ve always wanted to visit your country!

22. 22. Karen said, on August 22nd, 2009:

    Hi Styleezta,

    Cool! Is it waterproof?

23. 23. Karen said, on August 22nd, 2009:

    Hi Wendy,

    I hope you give it a go because it’s a really great mascara.

    Oh, and thanks for the drugstore foundation rec!

24. 24. Karen said, on August 22nd, 2009:

    Hi Meghan,

    I wish it was cheaper too. Sigh!

25. 25. Karen said, on August 22nd, 2009:

    Hi Marce,

    I know, right? If only I could wake up looking like that, ha ha ha!

26. 26. Karen said, on August 22nd, 2009:

    Hi Blovet Beauty,

    Thanks!

27. 27. shontay said, on August 22nd, 2009:

    Hey Karen,

    Smoky Marine Exceptionnel??? Ooh, sounds nice. I’ve never heard of it. I must investigate.

28. 28. Rebecca said, on August 22nd, 2009:

    I’m making my annual ginormous trip to Sephora’s in 2 weeks, and this definitely is something to add to my list! Which brings my total up to probably somewhere around $250… 0:
