Makeup experimentation is all a part of the process, and there’s no need to shy away from mixing and matching your favourite products. Mascaras, often the unsung heroes in our makeup bags, possess the transformative magic to redefine how our lashes appear. And while a single tube can work wonders, a viral trend that can take your lash game to new lengths (in more ways than one) has emerged on the internet — mascara cocktailing.
This trending technique empowers you to customise your lashes with precision. It taps into the unique benefits and effects of various mascara wands and formulas and combining them to create a lash look ideal for your personal style.
Here are the best mascara layering combinations from Australia’s number one mascara brand, Maybelline — as recommended by celebrity makeup artist Jade Kisnorbo Shannon.
Think Maybelline, you know mascara and for good reason! They are the best mascaras on the market, and better yet, are affordable! My favourite of the range is the Lash Sensational Sky High it gives extreme length and is my go to for myself as well as a hero product I use on all of my clients. We all know I also love a good mascara cocktail! I apply one layer of Sky High and then go in with The Colossal mascara for added volume to achieve that trending clean girl lash look.

For a Volume Boost, Pair Maybelline Sky High Mascara With a Layer of Colossal
You say “the more volume, the better” and we agree. So let me teach you how to customise your lash with a dynamic, volume-boosting mascara cocktail that assures extraordinary results.
Embark on this lash journey by applying the world’s number one mascara, Maybelline Sky High, which will deliver a lash base with limitless length. Now that you have a canvas of sky-reaching lashes as the starting point, layer on Maybelline Colossal mascara, which is enriched with collagen for optimal lash health under multiple coats.
Topping your Sky High layer with Collosal will give your long lashes a boost of volume, and help you achieve a sultry look that’ll unlock confidence with every flutter.
For an Extra Length Boost, Pair Maybelline Falsies Surreal With a Layer of Sky High
