The Fall Mascara Edit: 9 Supercharged Formulas Worth Investing In This Season

sharif hamza vogue october 2013

If you were stranded on a desert island and could have only one beauty item, what would it be? A quick poll around the Vogue office this week revealed that the overwhelming answer was (no surprise!) mascara. We just can’t leave home without it. Fortunately, there’s a new crop of formulas that promises to supersize our fringe—and no lash will be left behind.

CoverGirl’s new high-tech wand deposits black pigment right at the roots, making eyeliner somewhat optional. Dior’s cult classic tube has been reformulated with microfibers that cling between lashes for an amplified, three-dimensional, fattened-up shape. If smudges or flakes are your problem, on the other hand, Clinique’s Chubby Lash mascara is long lasting and lightweight, so it provides all the volume without any of the clump. But it’s safe to say that François Nars may have given particular consideration to the stranded-without-mascara scenario: The legendary makeup artist, who owns an idyllic private isle in French Polynesia, just launched his Audacious formula—equipped with more than 200 brush bristles, a tapered tip for reaching bottom lashes, and a blacker-than-black shade that lives up to its name. With that kind of drama, you won’t be alone on the island for long.
