Make-up artists have been sharing
tips for years, one of which is to coat both sides of your top eyelashes with
mascara, not just underneath. It is a bit tricky with a single wand since
pressing down on top of lashes reduces curl, but Sephora recently released
Upside Down Mascara as an attempt to solve this problem.
Upside Down Mascara is a double
brush wand. It is meant to create volume, add length, and curl and define
eyelashes. The wand acts as a clamp and can be used both open and closed in
order to customize a look. With the wand open, pinching the wand around top
lashes will create volume and full coverage. With a closed wand, the brush
should lengthen top lashes and define lower ones.

The downside to Upside Down
Mascara? It takes some practice. Using it as a clamp will probably be a failure
the first few times. Most reviewers found it to be messy, but once you figure
out how to clamp the lashes between the brushes, customers are saying it curls
and lengthens fairly well. To avoid a clumpy mess, it is important to wipe the
wand on a paper towel before applying it to your lashes.
Sephora’s new formula and wand
design may not be perfect. I think we can all agree we are still on the quest
for the perfect mascara. However, if you’re a mascara savant, or you just like trying
new beauty gadgets, The Upside Down Mascara is worth a shot. You can purchase this mascara from Sephora or online at Amazon.
