ORIGINAL STORY (July 8, 2020): Following the release of its cult-favorite FetishEyes, Pat McGrath Labs has unveiled a new mascara dubbed the Dark Star. The new multi-dimensional mascara provides twice the volume for a more bold and dramatic look.
Previously used at Versace‘s Fall/Winter 2020 show in Milan and Louis Vuitton‘s FW20 show in Paris, the Dark Star’s zero-gravity formula contains quantum micro-pigments that give the lashes a lengthier look. As for the brush, the applicator arrives in a custom-carved silhouette, which helps lift and sculpt the lashes. “Dark Star Mascara is its own force field. It transcends your most surreal lash fantasies, warping reality with otherworldly levels of volume, length and curl,” said Pat McGrath in a press release.
The Dark Star in “Xtreme Black” retails for $30 USD, which you can purchase at Pat McGrath and Sephora on July 14.
