Wie gut ist die Sky High Mascara?

I’m probably biased, but I feel like Indian women are often renowned for their thick, luscious hair—from their head to their full brows and lashes, too. I, on the other hand, am missing that particular hair gene, which is why no makeup look of mine is complete without at least eight layers of three different types of mascara—till I tried Maybelline's Sky High Mascara ($9, Amazon).

Before trying this TikTok and Instagram-viral mascara, I really did have a three-step mascara routine involving a lash primer, followed by a thickening mascara, all topped off with a lengthening, lash-separating mascara. I still do that routine on days I want some more drama, but it's no longer the everyday occurrence it used to be.

No one product really did all these three things for my sparse lashes, which is why I was extremely wary of all the hype around Maybelline's new mascara—until I actually tried it.

Here are my honest thoughts on Maybelline's Sky High Mascara, and why it's been a staple in my makeup routine for over a year now:

You have to use it correctly.

To be honest, the first time I tried this mascara I didn't like it at all. I couldn't believe that all the hype I'd seen online was real. The formula felt so wet that when I first used it, I was left with super clumpy lashes. There was so much excess product on them that I could actually feel and see them drooping.

Here's the trick: Wipe the bristles of the brush on the rim of the tube before applying it. Once I did that, it was like I was using a totally different product. It thickened, lengthened, and curled my sparse lashes like no singular product had before.

It has a great brush.

I love the plastic brush and abundance of bristles it has on it to enhance separation and feign a fuller lash line. Each of my lashes grip on to the bristles to the point at which my lashes even hit my glasses when I'm wearing them.

The brush also moves flexibly, so that I can curve it to the shape of my eye to hit those stubborn little hairs on the outer edges of my lash line.

It looks natural.

My favorite part about using this is that my lashes look totally natural and like I got extensions rather than like I am actually wearing mascara. If I do want a more extra look, I simply layer more coats for some added thickness and drama.

OK, fine. There’s one downside.

The only downside I'll mention is the lasting power. For the most part, this likely isn't noticeable to anyone but myself, but I do avoid using it on my lower lash line because it ends up under my eyes. (I'm also really picky about what I use on my lower lashes, and have only ever sworn by Maybelline's Lash Discovery Mascara for them.)

On the upper lashes, I'll notice the slightest decrease in curl and length after several hours, but the change is so subtle that the end-of-day result is still better than most mascaras I've tried. It's been my go-to for days filled with low-key video calls and errands since I started using it for the past year.

Sure, I love my three-step routine, but it's great to be able to reserve that for special occasions now that I have something that's almost just as good for under $10.

Wer will schon zu den Sternen? Wir sind schon zufrieden, wenn wir in den Himmel kommen. Zumindest mit den Wimpern ;O)

Ich habe die neue Mascara getestet und wenn Du jetzt READY TO TAKE OFF bist, dann können wir losdüsen.

Was verspricht die neue Mascara?

Sensationell lange und voluminöse Wimpern, die trotzdem natürlich aussehen.

Wie geht das?

Die Sky-High-Technologie mit innovativer Tower Flex Bürste und Faser-Formel verleiht intensiv schwarze und optisch verlängerte Wimpern.

Pflegender Bambusextrakt stärkt die Wimpern und schenkt gleichzeitig sichtbar mehr Länge und Fülle. Feine Fasern umhüllen die Wimpern - ganz schwerelos und ohne zu verkleben.

Der flexible Bürstenkopf hat dünne Borsten und erreicht damit jede einzelne Wimper vom Ansatz an. Die besondere Faser-Formel verteilt sich gleichmässig auf den Wimpern und betont sie intensiv. 

Verpackung / Bürste

Modern, rosa-metallisiert und leicht in der Hand. Die Relief-Schrift sieht wunderschön aus und macht diesen Mascara zu einem Hingucker.

Meine persönliche Ausgangslage

Ich habe helle und kurze Wimpern. Somit ist das Verbesserungspotential enorm.

First Impression

Wie viele andere, habe ich ein Video auf TikTok gesehen und konnte es fast nicht glauben, was diese Mascara so mit den Wimpern zaubern kann. Besonders der verlängernde Effekt hat mir super gut gefallen. Wer will schon nicht lange, geschwungene und dichte Wimpern?

Wird die Mascara auch bei mir so "Wunder" bewirken? Schau mal das Video an:

Die Wimpern sind definitiv länger, tiefschwarz, definiert und haben einen tollen Schwung nach oben. Mit 2-3 Schichten erreicht man ein schönes Resultat, dass über den ganzen Tag hält und nicht abbröckelt.

Hier noch ein paar Nahaufnahmen:

Fazit

Bei meinen kurzen Wimpern vermag auch dieser Mascara keine Wunder zu vollbringen. Die Ausgangslage ist nämlich mehr als Bescheiden. Da helfen alle verlängernde Fasern der Welt nicht. Ich bin da wie gewohnt realistisch. Trotzdem...die SKY HIGH Mascara holt das BESTE aus meinen Mini-Wimpern raus und das macht sie für mich zu einem TOP-PRODUKT, dass ich gerne weiterempfehle.

Wenn Du von Natur aus schon lange Wimpern hast, dann ist sie ein MUST HAVE. 

Dein Augenaufschlag wird mit der SKY HIGH Mascara von Maybelline nicht nur atemberaubend sinnlich sein, sondern schon fast HIMMLISCH ;O)
