An ELLE editor says: “If I were to only wear three makeup products, they’d be mascara, eyebrow pencil, and concealer. And I wear quite a lot of mascara—I’m talking three to five layers every time I apply makeup. In my eyes, lashes should be lengthened, curled, and beefed up as much as possible, and the darker the mascara, the better. Brown mascara may be trending these days, but as someone with naturally black hair, I can’t give up my deep black mascara. Iris & Romeo’s signature mascara is currently my absolute favorite because it fits all of my criteria, and it doesn’t smudge all over my under eyes, either. The brush wand curls my lashes sans lash curler, and the formula builds upon itself to give me falsie-like lashes that attract compliments wherever I go. While I haven’t tried the brand’s other products, the mascara is so good that I’m eager to try the rest of the line, and so I might just have to purchase this set for my own stocking.”
