Jane Iredale Lash Fixation vs Longest Lash
Should I choose Jane Iredale Lash Fixation Tubing Mascara or Longest Lash Thickening and Lengthening Mascara?
Short answer
Choose Lash Fixation if you want a long-wearing, smudge-resistant tubing mascara that lifts and separates lashes. Choose Longest Lash if you want a 13-ingredient mascara for thickness and length with beeswax, algae extract and panthenol, and no listed alcohol. Lash Fixation uses synthetic beeswax and lists alcohol.
What this means for you
Start with what you notice
Both are Jane Iredale mascaras. Pick Lash Fixation for defined, smudge-resistant lashes, or Longest Lash for added thickness with a shorter ingredient list.
The ingredient names, translated
Tubing mascaras coat each lash in small polymer tubes that tend to resist smudging and come off with warm water. Lash Fixation lists acrylates copolymer, synthetic beeswax, jojoba, carnauba wax and alcohol. Longest Lash lists algae extract, beeswax, carnauba wax, cellulose and panthenol.
How to decide
- Mascara smudges under your eyes? Lash Fixation.
- Want thicker-looking lashes? Longest Lash.
- Avoid beeswax? Lash Fixation, which uses synthetic beeswax.
