When it comes to finding a mascara that truly lives up to expectations, MAYBELLINE Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara - Cosmic Black has taken the makeup world by storm. The hype surrounding this mascara has been huge – so I just had to try it out and see if it truly deserves its cult status. Spoiler: It does.

General description

First of all: Cosmic Black is no ordinary black mascara. The color is deep, intense, and has such rich pigmentation that it gives lashes an almost dramatic definition with just a couple of swipes. The formula is also designed to provide extreme length and volume , which is immediately visible. It's as if each lash gets its own lift and looks both longer and fuller, without feeling heavy or clumpy.

What really sets Sky High apart from other mascaras is its Flex Tower brush . It’s designed to be flexible and pliable, allowing it to effortlessly reach every little lash, even those in the furthest corners of your eyes. It literally bends with you, making application super easy – you get every lash in a way that actually feels innovative.

Benefits

• Length and volume in one stroke: One of the biggest benefits of Sky High Mascara is that it both lengthens and volumizes – and you can see it from the first application. Lashes immediately look longer and get a natural but dramatic lift.

• Lightweight formula: Despite providing so much volume and length, the formula feels light and comfortable. It doesn't clump or make lashes feel heavy.

• Water-resistant: This is a mascara that can handle most things. It's water-resistant but not too difficult to remove. Perfect if you've had a long day or are out in humid weather.

• Long-lasting: It really stays put – all day long, without flaking or smudging. Whether you have a long day at work or a night out, it lasts.

Disadvantages

• May require multiple coats for maximum volume: If you are looking for more intense volume, you may need to build it up with a couple of coats. For some, this can be a time-consuming process, but the end result is worth it.

• Water resistance can be a challenge to remove: While it's easy to wear all day, it can be a little difficult to remove if you don't have a good eye makeup remover, especially if you use the waterproof version.

When should it be used?

This mascara is versatile and suitable for both everyday and party wear. For a natural look, you can easily apply one coat and get nice definition and length. However, if you want a dramatic evening look , you can build up with multiple coats to really bring out the volume. It works especially well for people with shorter or sparse lashes, as it gives so much length and definition without the need for false lashes.

What makes it different from other mascaras?

What really makes Sky High Mascara unique is the combination of the extremely flexible brush and the lightweight formula that provides maximum length without weighing it down. Other volumizing mascaras can often feel heavy or clumpy on the lashes, but this formula is so lightweight that you barely notice you're wearing anything – until you see the results in the mirror. Plus, the water-resistant formula is a clear winner for those who need something that lasts all day, regardless of the weather or activities.

Conclusion

MAYBELLINE Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara - Cosmic Black truly lives up to its name. It delivers endless length, amazing volume, and intense color that lasts all day. If you're looking for a mascara that can give you dramatic lashes without feeling heavy or clumpy, this is definitely a must-have in your makeup bag. There are few mascaras on the market that manage both length and volume as well as this one, and despite a few minor drawbacks (which require a good remover), it's easy to see why it's a favorite with so many.

Score: 9/10

It gets a thumbs up from me – and I will definitely use it as my go-to mascara in the future!
