Its primary benefit is delivering up to +400% extreme buildable volume with a 48-hour, life-proof wear, making it ideal for busy lifestyles or significant events.

The YSL Lash Clash Waterproof Mascara excels in delivering consistent, high-impact volume that stands the test of time and elements. Its 48-hour wear makes it a reliable choice for long days, special events, or travel where touch-ups are not feasible. The waterproof, heat-proof, and sweat-proof properties ensure your mascara stays intact through workouts, humid conditions, or emotional moments, preventing smudging, flaking, or running.
To achieve up to +400% extreme buildable volume, start by wiggling the oversized double conical brush at the base of your lashes and sweeping upwards. For more intensity, apply additional coats while the previous layer is still slightly wet to avoid clumping. The couture black finish provides a rich, deep color that enhances eye definition.
This mascara is particularly effective for those who desire a bold lash look that remains flawless under challenging circumstances. It's a game-changer for those who typically experience mascara transfer or fading throughout the day.
Preparation: Ensure lashes are clean and dry. For best results, curl lashes before applying mascara.
First Coat: Hold the oversized double conical brush horizontally. Wiggle the brush from the root of your lashes to the tip to ensure even coating and initial volume.
Build Volume: For additional volume, apply a second and subsequent coats while the mascara is still slightly wet. Focus on sweeping upwards and outwards for a fanned-out effect.
Lower Lashes: For lower lashes, use the tip of the brush vertically for precise application.
Makeup Removers: Due to its extreme waterproof and long-wearing nature, this mascara is best removed with an oil-based or bi-phase eye makeup remover. Standard micellar water or gentle cleansers may not be sufficient for complete removal.
Other Eye Makeup: This mascara pairs well with bold eyeliners or eyeshadows for a complete dramatic eye look.
Storage: Always ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to prevent the mascara from drying out.
Avoid Pumping: Do not pump the wand in and out of the tube, as this pushes air into the container, which can dry out the formula prematurely.
Hygiene: Replace your mascara every 3-6 months to prevent bacterial growth and maintain product performance.
