I am a mascara monogamist.
First, it was Essence Princess Lash, which I used for most of my teens and early 20s.
Enter,Byredo’s Astronomical Mascara,which launches today, February 24.

At first glance, it somewhat resembles a very fancy,ergonomic bullet vibrator.
So it passed the pretty test, but we all know what counts is on the inside.
Astronomical is vegan as is Space Black and made of 91 percent “natural” ingredients.

“There isn’t really a huge difference [in performance] between clean and regular mascara.”
I’d prefer to spend less than, oh, 10 seconds applying anything.
My lashes are naturally pretty long, but I wish they were a bit thicker.

I’ve been using Astronomical Mascara nearly every day for the past few weeks.
I’ve found it to be pretty buildable.
I’ll be honest: the most dramatic thing about this mascara is its tube.

Given the packaging, I was expecting a little more va-va-voom on my eyes.
But I’m just one person.
Here’s what they had to say.

“But Byredo’s newest formula has something else to offer entirely: precision.”
For Glynn, this all comes down to the applicator.
Our staff editor Jihan Forbes dilemma?
“If I slowly, intentionally comb through each section of hair: Mascara on my eyelid.
If I open my eyes wide to do my lower lashes, mascara in my crease.”
This means that Forbes usually looks for a mascara that gives lashes volume and length,sansgunk.
“Byredo’s Astronomical Mascara Serves just that.
Forbes is also a fan of the brush shape.
How did Byredo Astronomical perform in her “cut-throat assessment”?
Well first, Gutierrez pre-curled her lashes.
Oh, and did I mention the electric, lime green tube itself?
Byredo, I’m here for it!”
