After nearly 15 years as a beauty editor, Ive seen several semi-successful and ill-fated attempts.
There was themascarayou pumped.
The mascara shaped like a tiny rake.
The wand that bent at a 90-degree angle, and another wand that looked like a miniature medieval weapon.

Ive been disappointed by never-seen-before mascaras before.
I also typically prefer fluffy wands and volumizing formulas with words like Climax!
Its shorter and stockier thanmost mascaras, which was unexpected seeing as the wand itself is so slim.

Also surprising is how little mascara is actually on the wand when you pull it out of the tube.
The Maybelline Push Up Mascara wand looked like a miniature hairbrush.
Refy Lash Sculpt looks more like a lobster claw or a sickle hook.

Or as one TikToker seemed to think, like the Grim Reaper from The Sims.
According to Refy cofounder Jess Hunt, development of the applicator was two years in the making.
I read every single DM and comment.

I don’t think any other product has been requested as highly as this one, she tellsAllure.
As many reviewers have found though, the Lash Sculpt wand takes some getting used to.
This helps to catch a majority of my lashes and keeps the wand from poking me in the eye.
This was less of an issue when I tried the mascara withoutcurling my lashesfirst.
Wand aside, the formula is lovely.
It might even have some temporary hair-softening properties.

The formula is unbelievably lengthening, quite a feat since its not fiber-based.
Some TikTok reviews said it gives you a natural lash look.
Lash Sculpt is more than a tint because of how much it lengthens and lifts.
It leaves my lashes long, wispy, and stretched out like a foldable fan.
Refy Lash Sculpt was no different, smudging under my lower lashes after approximately three to four hours.
Overall, Id give Refy an A for effort on this one.
I understand the concept.
I think whats clear is this is definitely not a product for everyone.
I sawTikTok videosof people who loved it and spoke to friends who hated it.
Personally, I fall somewhere in the middle.
Ill keep using it and perfecting my system process.
Will I invest in another tube when its finished?
Will this new wand shape catch on and revolutionize mascara for good?
Like the risk-taking mascaras of old, only time will tell.

I found there’s a bit of a learning curve (no pun intended) with this product.

Though my lashes are sparse, they somehow manage to form clumps, which drives me nuts.
(After all, I want the illusion ofmorelashes, not fewer.)
Im surprisingly pleased with the results and have since added this into my daily rotation.
(If Refy feels like adding a brown to the lineup, I wouldnt mind!
