L’Oreal False Lash Architect 4D Mascara – Rs 735, available HEREWhen it comes to mascara, L’Oreal always surprises me. I was using L’Oreal Volume Million Lashes Mascara and after using it for 6 months, I had to toss it out though i didn’t want to.
I have thin sparse lashes, they need lots of efforts to show up ! So this time again i went to my trusted brand L’Oreal and instead of repurhasing Volume Million Lashes mascara, I ended up buying L’Oreal False Lash Architect 4D Mascara. I must confess that this is by far the best mascara I have ever come across !! I got the waterproof version and in my opinion it was the only option they had there.What L’Oreal Says
Formula Technology: The Lash Architect 4D formula contains exceptionally long, rigid 4mm nylon fibres (the same material that false eyelashes are made from) that build volume: molding re-shaping and sculpting without hardening or stiffening. Lashes step into 4D: they look, Volumized, Lengthened, Texturized and Curved, your look is captivating from every angle!
The custom-designed tool : The Architect-brush – The Architect-brush is specially engineered to construct the 4D false lash effect: sleek and angled, it wraps easily around the lashes. Bristles are spaced regularly so the formula goes on evenly for an intense lash look with no clumps.The Wand – Its thin and narrows down at tip, that helps in reaching to the tiniest of lashes in the inner corner of eyes. At first I had trouble and found it wiggly but after using it twice application became convenient. Bristles separate and coat each lash beautifully !
Application & Experience – It claims of curling and lengthening lashes, though i find curling my lashes only with the wand a bit tricky. No matter what mascara i use the wand or the formula doesn’t curl my lashes satisfactorily. I have to use an eyelash curler before applying mascara.

The formula keeps them curled through out the day ! It definitely lives up its claims of volumizing and lengthening. Its doesn’t clump, lashes do not stick together or feel uncomfortably hard (the way some mascaras make them).
Negatives – Whenever I pull out the wand, too much product comes out with it. You have to get rid of the excess product or it gets all over the eyelids. It doesn’t have an effective wiper to wipe out excess product. Also price might be an issue for some, but its worth spending.
Another shot below-Overall Thoughts
An excellent product and must have for those with sparse thin lashes. It lives up to its claims of volumizing and lengthening lashes. Lashes look dense, full of volume and stay curled for 8+ hours. Removing it is also easy, it goes away with regular makeup remover or baby oil. I absolutely recommend L’Oreal False Lash Architect 4D Mascara to all the false lashes lovers out there.

Great review I might purchase this when ill be over with my They’re Real from Benefit. I used L’Oreal’s million one as well but it was like the black version of the packaging ( I don’t know for you but in France they released several version and all ). At first, it was amazing I loved it but after a while I realized that the shimmers on my lashes were not caused by my blush or anything but by my mascara ! Surprisingly , after some time using it , shimmers were all over my lashes and I freaked out when I saw that one day when I was only wearing mascara bare faced.
Since then , I used Benefit’s They’re Real but it’s pretty expensive so I was looking for a cheaper one. (I guess this one is ) thank you for your review !
