What Is Mascara Cocktailing? Meet TikTok’s New Favorite Way to Get Long Lashes
What if the ultimate mascara for long, thick, lush lashes was actually… two mascaras? (Or more!) That’s the theory behind mascara cocktailing, the latest beauty trend taking over TikTok.
The method is exactly what it sounds like: mix a few different mascaras together like a cocktail (or a mocktail, of course) to create a custom lash look. Layering two mascaras isn’t necessarily a new technique; Makeup artists and beauty fans have been crafting their perfect makeup recipes for years, pairing a volumizing formula with a lengthening formula or adding a few coats of a thickening formula for super-full false lashes. The key is to layer two mascaras with different results to get the look you want, like long and curled or thick and voluminous. TikTok users have brought the method to the masses with videos showing the almost magical effects of mascara cocktailing and their top mascara picks to get the look.
TikToker katiehub.org has makeup fans buzzing with her fan-favorite combination of two Essence mascaras for length and volume Lash Princess Curl Mascara and the volume formation Double Trouble Mascara, which has a double shaft for extreme definition and length. Her final result? Long, elaborate eyelashes that were almost twice the size of her bare eyelashes!
