Mascara Monday - shu uemura Ultimate Natural Mascara

shu uemura Ultimate Natural Mascara is the latest and greatest from the Ultimate Eye Essentials collection and promises an extremely natural, clean and separate finish with powerful curl holding ability and without smudging or flaking. I liked the sounds of that because even with all the mascaras out now that are meant to add super duper volume and a false lash effect, I am still a fan of a more natural look.

Right off, I liked the brush, it's fairly skinny which makes it much easier to get at all my lashes including the bottom ones!
No mascara on the right, 2 coats on the left - best part, no lash comb needed as it was never clumpy!
2 coats on each side - the small brush is a winner in my books, easy to maneuver and didn't brush up against my skin so no smears to clean up.
One of the mascara's claims to fame is the special waxes it contains to create a strong curl -  it's not a crazy huge curl but this is still the best one that I have gotten strictly from a mascara without having to do any weird things with the brush while I applied it.

  3. Hmm... I'm tempted try this for its curling claims, but not willing to pay more than drugstore prices. By the way, I too am a fan of lash combs. No clumps for me, please! :)

  5. Are you flirting with me Tracy?! ;-) If my tired, old red eyes can take a decent pic, I'm sure yours would rock!

    Best, Lisamarie

  6. Did you curl your eyelashes before applying this mascara? If not, did the mascara make your lashes curl like that or are they naturally curly?

  7. Nope didn't curl them and they aren't naturally curly - any curl you see is courtesy of the mascara!

    Best, Lisamarie

  8. Thanks for the response. This is the best product review I have ever read - the pictures truly tell the story. I'm now willing to try this mascara after Shu discontinued my most favorite mascara (Mascara Basic).
