Product details

Curl + fix

A light, waterproof curling mascara that coats lashes one by one and keeps them lifted for 24 hours.

Etude’s Curl Fix Mascara is made to stop droopy lashes. A featherlight film-forming formula grips each lash neatly, holds the curl from morning to night and is gentle enough for the short lashes on the lower line too. It is waterproof and smudge-proof, so it won’t flake or leave panda eyes.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Featherlight base

    A fast-evaporating light oil leads the list, so the formula sets quickly and doesn’t weigh lashes down and drag the curl.

    No. 1, 12 of 14 on the list

  • Waterproof film

    Film formers that wrap each lash in a flexible coat that resists water, sweat and smudging.

    No. 2, 6, 10 of 14 on the list

  • Curl-holding waxes

    Waxes and a gelling agent give the formula body, so lashes stay set in the shape you curled them.

    No. 3, 4, 7 of 14 on the list

  • Mineral colour

    Black iron oxide gives 01 Black its deep colour; the brown shades blend in warmer iron oxides.

    No. 8 of 14 on the list

How to use

Curl, coat, fix

  1. 1

    Curl

    Curl lashes with an eyelash curler first.

  2. 2

    Wipe

    Wipe extra formula off the brush on the rim of the tube for a neat, clump-free coat.

  3. 3

    Sweep up

    Start at the roots and sweep up to the tips, coating the lashes one by one.

  4. 4

    Lower lashes

    Use the tip of the brush to touch up the short lashes on the lower line.

Lifted until night

No drooping, no smudging and no flaking: lashes that stay curled and clean all day.
