Don't let its do-gooder image fool you. Many "natural" mascaras fail to deliver the plump black lashes I require. But Tarte Lash Hugger Eco-Friendly Mascara is serious about delivering ultimate length, volume and curl in a clump-free, flake-free formula.

For a more natural look, apply one to two coats and you're good to go. To pump up the volume, start with a lash primer. My go-to is Lancôme Ôscillation PowerBooster followed by at least two coats of mascara, but for a more natural lash enhancement, try Tarte multiplEYE primer before using Lash Hugger.

The tube is made of post-consumer recycled aluminum and the actual formula contains Tarte's skinvigorating ingredients which include water, olive esters, rice bran wax, carnauba wax, and mineral pigments, and bears Sephora's natural seal.
