Do you remember Urban Decay’s original Big Fatty Mascara? It came in a bright psychedelic-looking tube, and had an enormous brush. Other than being able to remember its existence, I don’t recall any memories of wearing it. I’m sure I did, but it was WAY back in my long mascara career. In line with Urban Decay’s ‘everything that’s old is new again‘ theme, Big Fatty also received a major makeover—a new brush, new tube, new formula, the whole nine yards. Check it out…
More photos and details…
I’ve been wearing Big Fatty since last week, and I have to say—it’s my favorite Urban Decay mascara by a long shot. (I really like Cannonball too.) Big Fatty is kind of like a padded bra with chicken cutlets for my eyelashes; it adds volume, slightly lengthens them, and pushes them up. Heh.
This brush is SERIOUS business! It’s even a little spiky at the tip, so you can grab the tiny lashes on the inner and outer corners of your eyes. I’m a fan of this formula—it’s a glossy jet black, it doesn’t flake, and it stays put. According to the the brand, this new Big Fatty has lash-nurturing ingredients; hemp seed oil for moisture, Vitamin E to prevent free radical damage, jojoba oil for hydration, and Purisilk SPB for conditioning and curl retention.
Bottom Line…
While I may not be able to compare the new Big Fatty to the original, I do like the volume it provides. When you look at the before and the first after shot, doesn’t it seem like it makes thick lashes appear out of thin air?
