A Review of goop’s New Mascara

There has been a LOT of buzz about goop’s new mascara. So much so that I placed an order the day it came out (June 21st). It arrived on June 27th, and for the past few weeks, I have made this mascara my go-to. I don’t wear mascara every day, but I do most days. Overall, I really like it!

I will caveat that my lashes have not been looking great as I’ve been lazy about using my usual lash serum. I snapped a before and after photo and am a little self-conscious. I’m hardly an eyelash model! That being said, maybe you have short stumpy lashes right now too. In that case, I hope the photos make you feel a little bit better.

PS – really good news — the mascara is now available at Nordstrom. Faster and free shipping. I bought mine directly from goop and was a little annoyed by the $7 shipping!

Goop Featherlash lifting serum mascara review

Overall, I like this mascara a lot. It is great for everyday. It gives you longer, glossy, pretty lashes. And it reminds me a lot of Glossier Lash Slick. I don’t really see the feathery/volumizing benefits quite as much though (for that, I’d recommend Westman Atelier which is probably my number one; though I would note that it is $17 more expensive so do with that information what you’d like). What I do notice in a big way is the lifting benefits. You can skip a lash curler.

What I love most is a) the wear (it does not budge during the day – over the past few weeks, even in the humidity, I’ve had zero flakes or smudges) but b) that it comes off SO easily when you want to take it off. I mean it when I say this: I have never tried a mascara that stays on this well AND simultaneously just rinses clean with a little gentle face wash. So, if you have sensitive skin (or just hate rubbing off your mascara at the end of the day), this will be your new favorite mascara. I also like that it is clean. Whether or not you are on the “clean beauty” train (I’m about 70/30 myself), I think we can all agree that we don’t want chemicals so close to our eyes!

It hasn’t been long enough (just a few weeks) so I cannot speak to the treatment benefits (that sort of thing comes with longer use!) but given the current state of my lashes, I like that it has conditioning benefits – I need all the help I can get! I would say that this is probably my second favorite mascara to use right now. I try a LOT of mascaras, it might not sound like it, but this is high praise!

Below, a before and after comparison. As always, I did not edit these photos (I typically adjust the light) as I want to show you a true perfect comparison. This is with two coats!
