Before and After: Urban Decay Lash Freak Mascara

July 30th, 2020 by Karen 4 Comments

New Lash Freak Mascara by Urban Decay

Ooh! Urban Decay just launched a new long-wearing mascara with a freaky-looking wand for $25. It’s designed, first and foremost, to increase volume, especially at the roots, and has a crazy-looking wand with three distinct surfaces! If you like bold lash looks and a cruelty-free formula that doesn’t smudge or smear, check it out.

How does it it work?

On one side of the brush there’s a row of asymmetrical teeth that really maximizes the amount of product the brush deposits on your lashes. The brush tip has a series of spikes to separate and define individual hairs, too. The last side — the smooth, curved part of the brush — is designed to press up against the roots for added lift.

What does two coats look like?

On my lashes, which naturally point downward and struggle to hold a curl, Lash Freak adds noticeably dramatic thickness at the base of my lashes, and you couldn’t miss it from a mile away! Two coats are enough for thick and lush lashes, but here’s the thing: from up close, the individual lashes look lumpy and bumpy. The curl from my lash curler also relaxes quite bit, so the coated lashes end up reaching out rather than curling up…

I like the color though. It’s a rich, dark black, and the formula doesn’t smear or smudge.

Why should you try it?

If you like thick, edgier long-wearing mascaras with a slightly spidery effect, you might like it.

Who would love it?

Best suited for someone who embraces drama and doesn’t mind bumpy-looking lashes (when seen up close).

When will it be available, and where can you get it?

You can grab it now on the UD website for $25 a tube.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Right now it’s between Anastasia Lash Brag and Laura Mercier Caviar Volume mascara for me. Considering those two unseated Le Volume de Chanel and Cle de Peau Perfect Lash, that says a lot. So I’m hard pressed to try a new mascara right now. I also don’t like bumpy, spidery lashes. Just my personal choice.

    I signed up for a sample of this; I hope I get it. I’m very curious. You know I like the drama. It will depend on how clumpy it is.

    Doesn’t sound like my cup of tea, but I appreciate the review! So many of the weird wands just make things harder than they need to be.

    I’m currently using Neutrogena Healthy Volume, which doesn’t seem to irritate my eyes.

    I struggle with a curved wand so I can’t imagine the mess I’d make with this fancy one! 🙂 My lashes have always been good about reaching for the sky but I’m afraid my droopy eyelids are dragging them down. Despite the change in formula, Faux Cils is still my fave mascara.

    PS Happy Friday! I hope you have some nice weather this weekend and are able to get out and enjoy yourselves. What’s the back-to-school/preschool sitch in your area? We’re supposed to have guidance in a week or so.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
