Tarte 4Day Lash Stain- Does it Really Work?

N9Q25NY9DSGW

Summer is all about finding sheer natural looking products that don't sweat off the minute you put them on. I love my regular mascara but it just wasn't standing up to the summer's heat and humidity. 

Looking for something different I discovered Tarte's 4Day Lash Stain. This formula is all natural and much better for the health of your lashes but does this stain really last for 4 days? I thought I'd give it a try and see.

The first thing I discovered is the old school curved brush. Thank You! I have no idea why makeup companies stopped making this kind of brush! It's so much easier to use than any other shape of brush out there because you can get every last tiny lash with no problem. I guess it doesn't look as fancy in commercials though, so in an effort to be competitive companies have come out with every other shape of brush imaginable and yes they do look great in the commercial but they just don't work as well.

 On application I found the formula easy to spread on with no clumps and much more body building than I had expected it to be. The look is perfect for this time of year because it adds just a touch of length and body with a nice black tint. If you are the type if girl who loves to pile on the mascara till it looks like fake lashes this product isn't for you. The results are a better than natural look but still very soft looking. The formula is very liquid but I found it very easy to apply and I love that it doesn't flake.

 Now to answer the question you really want to know, does this stain last for 4 days?  Not on me. It did last the entire day though. I will take some of the blame for it's failure, however. I find it next to impossible to clean the eyeshadow off my lids without getting cleanser on my lashes and I like to put on a generous amount of moisturizer at bedtime. Both of these things will break down the stain.

 Would I use it again? You bet! I think it's a great mascara for summer and it feels really good on your lashes. I'll probably crave something a bit more dramatic once Fall rolls around but for this time of year it's exactly what I was looking for.
