Climax Extreme Mascara

NARS Climax Extreme Mascara is the most dramatic version of the Climax line, built to deliver its biggest volume in a single coat. It pairs a new Loaded Pigment Complex with an oversized ribbed-bristle brush, laying down an intense, latex-like black from the root of the lash to the tip.

What it actually does

• Volume in one coat. NARS positions this as the line's peak for drama, with explosive volume created immediately rather than after layering.
• Deep, saturated black. The Loaded Pigment Complex is what the brand credits for the latex-like intensity of the colour.
• XXXL ribbed brush. The ridged bristles are sized to grab lashes along their full length, root to tip.
• Stays put. NARS lists it as longwearing, and as resistant to flaking, clumping and smudging.
• Formulated for eyes. Ophthalmologist tested, fragrance-free and paraben-free.

How to use

1. Coat the upper lashes from both sides. Run the brush over the top and underneath, wiggling it through as you go.
2. Build at the base and outer edge. Focus the next pass on the roots and the outer lashes for the most dramatic shape.
3. Hold for lift. Use the wand to lift the lashes and hold them for about five seconds.
4. Finish the lower lashes. Turn to the tapered edge of the wand to reach them cleanly.

Questions

Do I need more than one coat?

NARS designed it to reach its most dramatic volume from a single coat. You can build further, but the formula is meant to do the work on the first pass.

Will it clump or flake?

The brand rates it as longwearing, with resistance to flaking, to clumping and to smudging.

Is it suitable if I have sensitive eyes?

It is ophthalmologist tested, fragrance-free and paraben-free. If your eyes react easily, check the ingredient list on the carton before first use.

How do I get the lower lashes without smudging?

Use the tapered end of the wand rather than the full brush — that is what it is shaped for.
