We tried the new REFY Lash Sculpt Mascara – and here are our very honest thoughts

The Lash Sculpt Mascara is the latest beauty product to join REFY's impressive roster, which includes the viral Brow Sculpt and Cream Blush and counts everyone from Molly-Mae Hague to Sofia Ritchie as die-hard fans.

Listen, if it's stamped with 'REFY', best believe it has got our attention.

The brand's first-ever mascara promises a 'sculpted, lifted, lengthened lash effect for up to 12 hours' and even has a curved-shaped wand designed to fit every eye shape, which naturally had the entire internet talking.

At £20 a pop, the mascara is definitely a considered purchase, so the team has put the new launch through its paces to give you the real tea. Is it really worth your hard-earned cash? ☕️

The team's honest review:

Tested by style writer Emma Hawkins @emmahawkinss

"Is mascara the most important product in my make-up routine? No. That’s probably lip gloss – Fenty’s Gloss Bomb to be exact – but I certainly couldn’t go with it. It’s the last thing I apply, yet it always brings the look together, especially with a dark, sultry smoky eye, which is my absolute go-to whether I’m heading to the club, the gym or even Tesco.

"I’m not emotionally attached to one mascara – I can’t be in this job. So, while I prefer something that gives me thick, full, dark lashes, to match my grungy lids, I appreciate a formula that won’t flake, smudge, or make a mess: some of the benefits I found with REFY’s new Lash Sculpt.

"I was impressed with how easy it was to apply, how light the wand was and that it added a healthy shine to my lashes, as well as length.

"I also love the cool crescent-shaped wand as it helps get to those hard-to-reach areas and does a great job at separating the lashes. Generally, I think it’s a great addition to the brand’s existing line-up and although as a full-glam fan, I prefer something that gives a fuller flutter – clumps and all ­– if it’s a natural, clean-girl look you’re after, this one’s for you."

Verdict: 5/5

"I'm not going to lie I didn't love REFY’s lash sculpt lengthening mascara at first because I prefer a mascara that makes my lashes look thicker - which, to be fair, Refy hasn't promised.

"However after using it consistently for the past three months, I'm now obsessed with it. I use it every day because I can see that it actually lifts and lengthens my lashes while keeping them separate. Also because it dries very quickly, I'm ready to put my setting spray on almost straight away.

"I'd say Refy's mascara is definitely one to wear if you're after that clean girl look or if you're heading to the gym and want that no-makeup look. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a new everyday mascara.

"The only reason I wouldn't give it five stars is because whenever I apply it, I usually have to remove some mascara from my eyelids (still not sure if it's my application or the curved brush, tbh)."

Verdict: 4/5

"My lashes are a grower – with the right mascara.

"It’s my be-all and end-all to getting ready and I can’t leave the house without it! Once I’ve finished a bottle, I very rarely use the same brand as I’m consistently looking for SOMETHING or ANYTHING that will make my lashes long, luscious and spidery.

"Although I opt for a more natural looking lash, I do still need a good mascara to lengthen and thicken as without they can look sparse. REFY’s lash sculpt lengthening mascara really transformed my eyes!

"The brush has a crescent-shaped wand for full coverage which I found very easy to apply. I only needed around 3-4 strokes to get my desired look and found it lasted all day without any leaking or smudging under the eye – bingo! This may be my new go-to mascara. For the natural lash-looking girls – walk, don’t run."

Verdict: 4.7/5

"Refy products have been my go-to since its launch in 2020 after being heavily influenced to get my hands on it after seeing it all over TikTok, so I was excited to try out this new launch.

"Despite the wand being a very different experience from any other mascara I’d used, I found it was very helpful for targeting each lash, even the tiny ones in the corner. The formula goes on super smooth and gives you a really pretty flutter which is great for those who love a more natural look. It definitely gives you a lot of length and doesn’t clump on your lashes at all.

"My favourite part about wearing this is that my lashes look totally natural and like I got a lash lift rather than like I am actually wearing mascara. While I can’t see this becoming my new go-to, it's definitely a winner for those days when you just want a little something on your face to make you look more alive."

Verdict: 3.5/5

"Despite my commitment to a lash serum (every single night!) I still have short and spiky lashes that refuse to grow. Therefore, I'm looking for a formula that can add some much-needed oomph.

I adore this REFY mascara as it really lengthens every lash even after just one coat, thanks to it's unique yet brilliant crescent-shaped wand. It's not one bit messy and the mascara doesn't end up on my cheeks just in time for an important meeting.

"As my lashes are modest - and I've made peace with that! - this is the perfect mascara for me. Something easy to apply, mega lengthening and makes me look a bit more awake during my daily errands.

"If you're looking for a thicc formula for date night, you'd probably prefer something else. But if, like me, you fancy an everyday mascara that fits Jess Hunt's dreamy clean girl aesthetic, get yourself one and a pronto."

Verdict: 4.7/5
