Finding a mascara that gives your lashes an amazing lift, bold definition, and incredible length can be a struggle. But our favourite Scottish influencer and makeup guru, Jamie Genevieve, has come to the rescue with her latest launch: the VIEVE Modern Mascara.

Priced at £23 and available on the VIEVE website, the Modern Mascara is set to revolutionise lash enhancement as we know it. Think long, clump-free lashes.

With over three years of meticulous research and development and having tested over 100 formulas, the mascara is said to 'add instant volume, length and curl' according to the brand, and the 'hourglass fibre brush grips and separates each and every lash, creating a fuller look'.

Crafted to be bold and buildable while maintaining a smudge-proof finish, the mascara lives up to its name in every way.

Say goodbye to clumpy and uneven application. The hourglass-shaped brush effortlessly captures and coats each lash, ensuring a seamless application process

As Jamie herself advises, take the time to savour the application process and build your mascara to perfection - it's a step that she prioritises in her own makeup routine.

I tested the VIEVE Modern Mascara to see if it could really deliver. Applying only two coats, I was able to achieve elongated and fluttery lashes that make my eyes pop without any clumping. Not much volume, though.

The mascara feels incredibly light, and I was impressed by how easily it went on. This makes it perfect for applying on the go during my commute when I need a fast and smudge-free mascara. Even if I happen to sneeze right after applying it, there's no need to worry about ending up with smudged under-eye areas.

What's more, the mascara's formula is enriched with a blend of vitamins C and E, along with carnauba wax, vegan beeswax and castor seed oil. 

This unique combination not only enhances lash appearance but also nurtures them, keeping them healthy and strong.
