This product really is all it’s cracked up to be. There is such a huge buzz about it on social media that my bs radar automatically goes on but this is one instance, I’m happy to say, there is good reason for all the hoopla. In fact, my teenaged daughter loves it so much she is constantly stealing mine!

Younique 3D Fiber Mascara has taken social media by storm. You may have seen the amazing “before and after” pictures on Facebook or Instagram. Women are posting pictures of their barely there eyelashes in “before” pictures next to their amazingly long lashes shown in “after” pictures. A Facebook friend who sells Younique posted photos of her own before and after and the difference was so extreme, I had to buy it to try it for myself.
After all, who doesn’t want long, luscious lashes without having to endure lash glue or fake lashes sewn onto your real ones?
So I paid quite a lot of money for the mascara (just under $30) and initially loved it so much that I was borderline addicted for a few weeks.
I even included the mascara in my List of the Best Mascaras From Cheap to Steep.
The stuff really worked. I wore it day and night and got a kick out of doing one eye up while leaving the other eye bare — my own before and after. “Wow,” I thought, “I have found the most amazing mascara ever.”
And then the obsession wore off. Partly because I’m a new mom and don’t have a lot of reasons to go out on the town. Partly because I’ve never been one to wear a load of obvious makeup and this mascara is pretty obvious. And partly because the product didn’t prove to be perfect.
More on that in a bit….
A Tricky Application
Younique Fiber Mascara is tricky to apply.
The package comes with 2 tubes: a transplanting gel you apply first, and a tube of the fibers, which stick to the gel. The key is to apply the transplanting gel, then apply the fibers, then apply the transplanting gel after. Simple right?
Kind of. It’s not as easy as applying mascara and it’s sort of a hassle to go back and forth between 2 tubes.
The fibers can get clumpy and there’s all sorts of contradictory advice rolling around the Web on whether you should use regular mascara first (some say yes! Others say no!). I did find that If you abide by the rules of the application, then the results will be better than if you wing it on your own.
The Results
There’s no doubting the results of this mascara. My lashes have never, ever looked this full and long with mascara alone. To get this length, I’d have to go with false lashes. When I was addicted, I loved it so much that I wore it almost every day for a couple weeks. Usually, it’s recommended to use Younique for special occasions or for going out at night, but I had a 5-month-old at home, so I was in more nights than out.
Therefore, I took my glamorous lashes out by day, not just at night.
No one complimented me on my fabulous eyelashes while I wore the mascara, but it’s not like I was batting them in people’s faces. And I like to look as natural as possible, so if people take notice of my lashes, that might not be a great thing. I am one of those people who notice unusually long lashes and I almost always assume the lashes are false and professionally applied or the wearer is using Latisse or some other scary eyelash growth product that costs $$$ and isn’t FDA approved.
