Anna Sui Perfect Mascara
Anna Sui's new Perfect Mascara in Rich Black (S$41; 5g/0.17oz) promises lush, full lashes that stay curled all day long, creating the optical illusion of larger eyes.
Typical of Anna Sui, the slick black tube with the rose and heart motif is the most elaborately designed mascara tube I've ever seen. It would look right at home in a Gothic Lolita's purse. It also bears Anna Sui's signature rose scent, which is highly unusual for a mascara.
The film-type mascara contains ultra-fine short fibres that supposedly layer to a smooth reflective finish. It is also formulated with a "fast dry powder" that adds volume and helps separate the lashes, plus a "curl keep" polymer" and "triple solid oil" to help the fibres mesh together for long, voluminous lashes.
The long slim brush is tapered at both ends to help reach all the lashes while the thicker center portion of the brush deposits more product on the middle lashes for a more wide-eyed effect.
After wearing the Perfect Mascara over the past few days, I found that it does a better job of defining and lengthening the lashes than adding volume. It doesn't provide a false lash-like effect, but it did hold the curl of my lashes over a whole day better than Lancome Hypnose Precious Cells Mascara (though not as well as Canmake Agebuto mascara).
The slender brush is very easy to work with. It is particularly good for reaching the shorter lashes at the inner corners and along my lower lashline, without causing smudges on the eyelids. The jet black formula applies very smoothly but it does take quite a few sweeps through the lashes to build up to the desired length. However, one positive point is that the mascara doesn't clump even after applying a few layers. There was also no flaking or smudging over more than 12 hours of wear. Although it contains fibres and fragrance, I didn't experience any eye irritation with the Perfect Mascara.
The mascara is removable with warm water, but I found that by after gently rubbing and splashing with warm water, there were still some fibres and smudges remaining around my eyes. Hence, I prefer to use a cotton pad soaked with eye makeup remover, which does the job much more quickly and thoroughly. It also minimises the need to rub the delicate lashes.
