I am really a fan of Revlon mascaras – for quite a while their Photoready 3D has been my go-to budget choice, so I was quite intrigued to see what their repackaged range had to offer. The new range offers you a choice of 5 different lash styles – Dramatic Definition, Ultra Volume, Volume & Length Magnified, Super Length and the Ultimate All in One (check out Revlon’s site here for full details). I have relatively long, full lashes naturally so I tend to stay away from anything promising volume as it just tends to look clumpy and fake rather than the ‘enhanced natural’ look I favour. With this in mind, I picked up Dramatic Definition (purple lid) and Super Length (green lid) to test out.
Super Length has a quite large, bristly brush – I don’t usually get on with these but I actually really like this one – application is really smooth and easy, with no clumps at all. The effect is the ‘my lashes but better’ look I like, and it’s really long lasting with no smudging or flaking (I’m a contact lens wearer and rub my eyes a lot so it’s often a problem!).
Dramatic Definition’s brush is plastic and super-flexible, so you can really wiggle into the roots with this one. It’s not quite as smooth to apply as the Super Length, and leaves lashes feeling a bit more brittle, but the effect is (as per the name) much more dramatic. From a distance, I prefer the look of this one, and close up I prefer the other! I do find that this formula is more prone to flaking, so it’s one I would be less likely to use for daytime.
L-R above – natural lashes, Super Length, Dramatic Definition (how does anyone manage this type of photo without it looking totally weird?!)
While I am using both of these at the moment, I think that Super Length is the one I’m most likely to repurchase – it may not be as impactful, but for a easy to use natural look it’s perfect.
Revlon’s new mascaras are currently £6.99 at Boots (will be £9.99 at full price).
Have you tried any of the new Revlon mascaras yet? What do you think about the simplified range?
Thanks for this, I’ve tried one of their mascara’s (different one) and this has been helpful 😉
