Expensive extensions, regular appointments, eyelashes that fall out when removed… Many dream of long eyelashes without extensions, but are hesitant to sacrifice the health of their bangs for a few weeks of wow effect. What if the real game changer was now hidden in pharmacies and on clean beauty sites?
A new generation of castor oil care mascaras promises to boost growth, thicken lashes and add makeup at the same time. Two stars stand out: the Goldlash Mascara from Rosegold Paris and the T50 Mascara Serum from Typology, both supported by very concrete figures. Enough to call into question classic extensions.
Long eyelashes without extensions: Goldlash mascara from Rosegold Paris
By chaining mascara and removing makeup, the bangs can “become thinner, more fragile and lose intensity” over time. This is exactly the problem that Goldlash, an all-in-one mascara sold in pharmacies, is made from 99% natural and vegan ingredients. Its formula combines castor oil, biotin and organic carnauba wax to accelerate growth, strengthen the root and protect eyelashes from breakage, all for $29.90.
According to a clinical study conducted by the brand with 30 participants over three months, the volume and thickness of eyelashes increased by 67%, breakage decreased by 70% and the overall appearance improved by 80%. To benefit from these effects, the brand recommends clean and perfectly makeup-free lashes, then application from the base to the tip in light zigzag movements, with a second coat depending on the desired intensity. After 28 days of regular use, the eyelashes are longer, thicker and more resistant.
Typology T50 mascara serum: a clean formula for XXL eyelashes
Faced with classic mascaras often loaded with silicones or beeswax, Typology is banking on a hybrid mascara serum, without these two ingredients, rated 100/100 on Yuka. The T50 Mascara Serum – Pea Peptides 1% + Castor Oil combines pea peptides rich in lysine, castor oil and vegetable keratin to support density and limit eyelash breakage. Two years after a first version quickly sold out, this revised formula has been available since August 25 at the price of $23.50 on the brand’s website.
Its soft texture and bio-sourced spiral brush are designed to separate each eyelash and offer a clump-free result, adjustable from the most natural to the most dramatic. As summarized by Victoire Prost, Doctor of Pharmacy and Product Manager at Typology: , she explains for Gala. Enough to follow the trend of XXL eyelashes without going through the extensions box.
Castor oil care mascaras: a real alternative to extensions
Extensions offer immediate results, but involve glue, extra weight on the natural lashes and frequent maintenance appointments. Care mascaras like Goldlash or T50 rely on another strategy: a single cost (between $23.50 and $29.90), a gradual improvement in length and density, while nourishing the bangs with each application. And then, we avoid the shock of removal, often synonymous with sparse eyelashes.
Trends are already moving in this direction with “spider lashes”: eyelashes inspired by Japanese anime and dolls, spiky, grouped in small clusters at the top and bottom, for an enlarged and assertive look. , analyzes Jamie Schneider, expert and senior beauty editor for Who What Wear. With these castor oil mascaras, this aesthetic becomes accessible without sacrificing the health of the lashes.
How long does it take to see results with a castor oil treatment mascara?
For Goldlash, the brand reports longer, thicker and more resistant eyelashes after 28 days of regular use, with maximum results measured after three months.
Can these treatment mascaras really replace eyelash extensions?
They do not necessarily imitate the immediate ultra-full effect of an application, but provide progressive length, volume and density while reinforcing the bangs, without glue or aggressive application.
Can you use both Goldlash mascara and Typology mascara serum?
These are two complete mascaras. To avoid clumps, it is easier to alternate between days rather than superimposing them on the same eyelashes.
