The essential eye-enhancing choice for drama and definition, the Pretty Vulgar Faux Reals Extreme Volume Mascara Black Swan is designed to add instant fullness and length for a bold, lash-dramatic look. This mascara is formulated to deliver a false-lash effect with a single swipe, making it ideal for anyone seeking high-impact lashes that last all day. It is crafted to be flake-free and smudge-proof so your eye makeup stays pristine from morning to night.
Key benefits come from the product’s makeup science. The intense black color comes from Iron Oxides (CI 77499), providing a deep, rich shade that defines each lash from root to tip. The creamy texture glides on smoothly, while the combination of waxes and film-forming polymers helps lift and separate lashes, creating an opening effect that makes eyes look larger. The formula is designed to maintain flexibility, allowing multiple coats without flaking or stiffness, so you can build volume without sacrificing comfort.

- Hold the wand horizontally with the middle dip near the center of your lashes, sweep through from root to tip while wiggling to lift and curl.
