Maximize Your Lashes in 3 Minutes With Caution Extreme Mascara

Would you believe us if we told you that you’re one spoolie swirl away from your fullest, longest lashes yet? Hourglass Cosmetics launched a new mascara that’s designed to do just that. Caution Extreme Lash Mascara is a one-and-done mascara that adds volume, length, and lift for dangerously dramatic lashes.

Let’s break down how it works:

According to Hourglass, the magic of Caution Extreme Lash Mascara lies in its innovative design, which combines two different brush types into one. Use the tapered end to coat the hard-to-reach inner corners of your eyes. The panthenol-infused formula never flakes or clumps, so you can build up fullness and drama while maintaining ultra-soft, separated lashes.

We caught up with the Hourglass Cosmetics Global Makeup Artist Chanel Temple, who shared her easy tips and tricks for getting the most out of this new release.

First, she suggests tightlining your upper waterline using Hourglass 1.5 Gel Eye Liner to create the illusion of fuller, bolder lashes. After this initial step, Caution Extreme takes over for a complete lash metamorphosis.

1.     Start at the base of your top lashes and wiggle the brush upward to lift and maximize definition.

2.     Without double dipping, apply mascara to your bottom lashes.

3.     Turn the brush vertically and apply product using the tapered end to coat the small lashes on the corners of your eye.

4.     Clean up any excess mascara from your lids with Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer and a q-tip and voila! Dangerous volume and length from all angles.
