Two-tone mascara from Estee Lauder

2 min read

Finally! A mascara that’s truly different, and one I can get excited about! I first saw this mascara a few months back at a press event, and now it’s here, on counter. Estee Lauder Sumptuous Two-Tone Eye Opening Mascara (£25, esteelauder.co.uk, and Lauder locations nationwide) is a double-ended mascara – each end a different, complementing colour, with a different brush.

For the top lashes, achieve bold drama with the exclusive BrushComber™ brush, which defines, lifts and thickens even the sparsest lashes with bold, weightless volume while providing a lustrous, rich Bold Black shade to lashes. For the bottom lashes, subtly define and add soft lustre to lower lashes with a tiny micro-brush specifically designed for hard-to-reach lower lashes, accentuating and defining them with a softer, more subtle, smudge-proof hue.

There are three colours to choose from for the bottom lash, so the mascaras come in three combinations – Bold Black/Rich Brown, Limited Edition Bold Black/Rich Blue, and Limited Edition Bold Black/Rich Plum.

The idea of the two-tone lashes is that it creates an eye-opening and eye-brightening effect. I have to say, having used black mascara on the top and brown on the bottom before, there is an effect doing this. I can’t wait to use the blue version.

And as if that wasn’t enough, Tom Pecheux, Lauder’s creative genius behind this, has also created a Limited Edition Double Wear Stay-In-Place Eye Pencil Duo (£21), available in three perfect shade combinations of Onyx/Coffee, Onyx/Navy and Onyx/Garnet. Apply the onyx shade on your upper lash line and the softer shade on your lower lash line to complement your Sumptuous Two Tone Mascara look.

And he’s created four Limited Edition Pure Color Eyeshadows (£16.50) in four co-ordinating, limited edition shades of Onyx, Amber Smoke, Midnight and Garnet Desire in a range of textures and finishes for infinite look possibilities.
