Kate Tokyo Black Feather Lash Review





Gosh, I haven't reviewed a single mascara this year!  I knew I had to, I've been using them but I get really "lukewarm" with all the mascaras I've reviewed not because they don't work, it's just because I am not blessed with "lushes" (aka lashes)

Castor Oil...do you work?

(Any feedback would be highly appreciated)

So I used the Kate Black Leather Lash until it dried out!  Yup, I used it so consistently I am sure I can give an in-depth review!  Though photos do not show how much my lashes appreciate the mascara, I actually do!  Please scroll further down to read more.

Kate Tokyo Black Feather Lash comes in 1 shade only BK-1 or Mysterious Black.
It is housed in a simple black packaging and the mascara wand comes with 2 sides!

Kate Tokyo Black Feather Lash Says ---

The unique two-sided wand brush transforms your eyelashes into jet black with alluring luster. 
Experience the black bird feather-like, soft and gorgeous lashes.



AMW says --- 

Pros

  • The mascara wand is just the right shape for any eye shapes.  Not too big nor too small.
  • I like the fact that the wand comes in 2 sides!  One is for volume while other is for length.
  • No clumping.
  • Dries pretty quickly.
  • Can be applied several times and won't weigh down lash hairs.
  • Curl stays the whole day.
  • Does build volume and gives me an illusion of thicker lashes (in person).
  • No smudging.  In fairness to this mascara, I've stayed in humid areas and under the sun, and so far, no smudging or Panda eyes.
  • Lashes aren't dry or "crunchy" hours after application.
  • Easy to remove.

Cons

  • If you have extremely "puffy eyes" , the wand may still touch your skin.  Feel free to use the "mascara application protector" or "credit card method".
  • May not be super lengthening if you are aiming for that.
  • If you are looking for super wet formulation, this one is on the drier side.

Overall
A wonderful daily mascara because of it's quick dry formulation.  It finishes off with a hint of glossy finish.  Lasts all day yet easy-to-remove with regular eye makeup remover.

Tips

  • Curl your lashes well before mascara application.
  • Experiment using which side first (shorter bristled side or longer bristled side) to see which has better results.
  • For me, I prefer to "lengthen" first and finish with coats after coats of mascara for volume.
  • For better application, remove excess mascara on the tube before applying on lashes.

Will I repurchase?
Yes.

To whom do I recommend this to?
Everyone.

Where to purchase and how much?
At local Kate Tokyo counters priced at Php900.00 (approx $20.00)

The secret to "better-looking" lashes is to curl your lashes really well prior to mascara application.
I like to start application at the center of the lashes and gently apply the inner and outer corners.

Before and After Side View
For the sake of review, I actually did not curl my lashes on the photos below, as you can see, the mascara gives an instant "lift".  Imagine if I curled it really well!

Length improved around 35-40% while volume definitely doubled!

Do you have other mascara brands in mind you think would work well on my non-existent lashes?
