Welcome back to Beautyistic, lovely people! If you’re anything like me, you know that finding a mascara that truly delivers drama without the mess can feel like searching for a unicorn. Today, we’re looking at Estée Lauder’s Sumptuous Extreme Waterproof Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara in Extreme Black—a product promising bold, voluminous lashes that stay put, rain or shine.
This mascara comes in a compact 0.27 fl oz tube and claims to give your lashes extreme volume while being waterproof, smudgeproof, and flake-resistant for up to 10 hours. It’s fragrance-free and designed to create a clump-free, full lash look with each swipe. The brush is specifically shaped to coat lashes evenly, aiming to multiply lash impact with every stroke.
In testing it myself, I found that the first thing I noticed was the brush’s precision—it really grabs every lash from root to tip without tugging. Applying it was straightforward, and I appreciated how the formula glided on smoothly without feeling sticky or heavy. In the morning, my lashes looked noticeably thicker and lifted. The waterproof claim held up well; after a light workout and a short rain shower, there was no smudging, and the mascara didn’t flake throughout the day. However, it does require a bit of effort during removal, which is typical for waterproof formulas, so a good makeup remover is essential.
What I really liked is the balance between volume and definition. It doesn’t just clump lashes together; each lash maintains its shape, which is a big plus. On the downside, for someone seeking a more natural, barely-there look, this might be too intense, and if you’re in a hurry, the precision brush may take a few extra seconds to perfect each lash.
From a value perspective, Estée Lauder isn’t the cheapest brand, but considering the longevity, waterproof performance, and intense lash multiplication, the price feels justified for those who prioritize high-performance mascara in their routine. Compared to other high-end waterproof mascaras, this one really stands out for its ability to maintain volume and definition without flaking, which is often the trade-off with heavier formulas.
The packaging is sleek and durable, typical of Estée Lauder’s high standards. Even with daily use over several weeks, the tube and wand remained in excellent condition, and the formula itself held up without drying out prematurely.
If you’re looking for alternatives that are easier on the wallet, some drugstore mascaras offer waterproof options with decent volume, though you may sacrifice some of the extreme lash multiplication and longevity that this product delivers. For those committed to bold, long-lasting lashes, however, this mascara earns its spot in a premium beauty routine.
So, who would love this mascara? If you’re someone who wants drama, staying power, and a clump-free finish that holds through sweat, tears, or unexpected rain, Estée Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Waterproof has you covered.
