Urban Decay Cannonball Ultra Waterproof Mascara Review

Hey friends!

How are you doing today? Mascara has somehow always been a luxury to me, but finally I gave in to my curiosity and excitement to explore everything which comes along and now I can say that eye makeup is becoming my must-do task before I go out. Eye makeup is incomplete without mascara and hence I came across this decently working mascara from Urban Decay. So let me tell you more about Urban Decay Cannonball Ultra Waterproof Mascara today!

Product Description:
What it is:
A lightweight, waterproof, gel-formula mascara.

What it does:
Cannonball Ultra Waterproof Mascara’s light gel formula has been rigorously field-tested in the ocean as well as the sweat-drenched gym. The exclusive Japanese formula refuses to budge. A special microcrystalline wax works with the dense, fuzzy brush to increase seductive length and volume, without ever flaking off and compromising your lashes’ natural feathery texture. Mermaids can now sing their siren songs with abandon, and high maintenance types can cry all they want.

My Experience with Urban Decay Cannonball Ultra Waterproof Mascara:

packaging

The black mascara comes in a plastic black tube packaging with a green cap attached to mascara wand. I like the simple and travel friendly packaging. Talking about this mascara, I love its soft and wearable black shade and also love its simple look on lashes. So this is an everyday mascara which you can put on before formal events.

However I am not a big fan of its dry  finish on my lashes which can make my lashes look slightly fried which is not a major concern. But yeah, it has a tendency to give you fried-looking lashes up to some extent. But it does not appear so in person or in pictures; like at first, it feels as if it has made my eyelashes stiff but after some time, that feeling subsides. It does not feel heavy on the lashes after some time.

I need one swipe to give that wide open effect to my thin lashes and the effect stays on for as long as 8 hours. This weekend I went to an Indian get-together and I did my makeup around 9 am. I had to travel through Bart (local metro rail) and I reached the destination around 12 pm (yes, I am that mad for Indian meetups :P). When I entered the hall, my makeup still looked as fresh.

We had a gala time and by the end of the meetup, I was surprised to see my eye makeup intact without any fuzzy black smudging signs. Now this really impressed me for my makeup stayed intact for such a long time.

I have never seen such a wonderful, non-smudging, completely waterproof and non-transferring quality in any mascara. Even the gals in our meet up were so impressed that they wanted to know how I managed to look so fresh the entire day.

So it gives a decent finish on the lashes & has a subtle drying texture, still I think there is nothing I dislike about this mascara. I love it and it is my holy grail mascara for travelling. Though, I agree, sometimes we need to bring on those dramatic lashes, hence this mascara would be a disappointment if you want to create a dramatic look.

If you are like me and nothing works on your watery eyes and sweaty skin, then try this mascara; it might change your eye makeup game. I am surely getting it again because I know I am more into natural and subtle eyes.

I am sharing the pictures of “Saree-Pledgers Meet Up” out of my excitement and to show you how it looks on my lashes. I have just worn Make Up Forever Face and Body Liquid Makeup along with MAC Mineralize light plus loose powder (which I will review soon for you), added a touch of blush – Nars Outlaw. For eyes, I have used Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette with this mascara.
