ETUDE HOUSE Lash Up Comb Mascara 02 Ash Black is a daily-use mascara tailored for natural makeup lovers, combining a "comb brush + lash-lifting formula" with a unique ash-black shade. Its core features are:

1. Unique Ash-Black Shade for Natural Definition: Unlike bold pure black, the ash-black pigment delivers a soft, cool-toned finish— it enhances lash visibility without looking heavy, making it suitable for all skin tones (especially fair to medium skin) and daily scenarios.
2. Comb-Style Brush to Prevent Clumping: The brush has thin, evenly spaced plastic teeth (instead of dense bristles) that glide through lashes to separate them one by one— even for fine or sparse lashes, it ensures each lash is coated with mascara without clumps or "spider legs".
3. Lash-Lifting & Lengthening Formula: Infused with lash-lifting polymers and flexible film-forming agents— the polymers extend lash length by adhering to the tips, while the film-forming agents hold the curl for 6-8 hours (no frequent touch-ups needed) and keep lashes soft (not stiff).
4. Lightweight & Smudge-Proof: The lightweight texture avoids weighing down lashes (a common issue with thick mascaras that flattens curls), and its moderate water resistance prevents smudging from sweat or mild moisture (e.g., rainy days). It can be easily removed with regular makeup remover (no oil-based removers required).
5. Gentle & Skin-Friendly: Free of harsh ingredients like formaldehyde releasers, parabens, and mineral oil— it is mild on lash follicles and the delicate eye area, reducing the risk of lash breakage or eye irritation (safe for sensitive eyes when used as directed).

（specific ingredients subject to product packaging; core components listed below）：
Lash-Lifting & Lengthening Agents:
Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA): A flexible film-forming polymer that adheres to lash tips to extend length, holds curl for 6-8 hours, and keeps lashes soft (not brittle).
Acrylates Copolymer: Enhances the mascara’s adherence to lashes, prevents flaking, and ensures the lash-lifting effect stays consistent throughout the day.
Ash-Black Pigment (Safe Cosmetic Dye):
Carbon Black (CI 77266) + Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891): A blend of two safe pigments— carbon black provides depth, while titanium dioxide (a white pigment) softens the tone to create the unique ash-black shade (avoids the harshness of pure carbon black).
Smudge-Proof & Water-Resistant Components:
Beeswax: Adds mild water resistance, prevents smudging from sweat or humidity, and conditions lashes to reduce dryness (critical for maintaining lash health with daily use).
Carnauba Wax: Enhances the formula’s durability, helps it set quickly, and maintains lash curl without weighing lashes down.
Lash-Conditioning & Gentle Ingredients:
Panthenol (Vitamin B5): Penetrates lash fibers to moisturize and strengthen them, reducing breakage caused by brushing or daily wear.
Allantoin: Soothes the delicate skin around the lash line (prevents irritation from accidental contact) and softens lashes, improving overall lash texture.
Formula Stabilizers & Emulsifiers:
Glyceryl Stearate: An emulsifier that blends oil-based and water-based ingredients, ensuring the formula stays smooth and consistent (no separation).
Disodium EDTA: A chelating agent that binds to metal ions in the formula, maintaining ingredient stability and extending the product’s shelf life.
Safety Assurance:
Free of formaldehyde releasers (e.g., DMDM Hydantoin), parabens (e.g., ethylparaben), mineral oil, and harsh alcohols— tested for eye irritation, safe for sensitive eyes when used as directed.
Note: The formula is moderately water-resistant (not fully waterproof), so it can be removed with regular makeup remover— no need for oil-based removers that may irritate the eye area.

Prep Lashes (Optional): For better curl, use an eyelash curler before applying— gently clamp the curler at the base of the upper lashes, hold for 5-10 seconds, then move it halfway up the lashes and clamp again (avoid pulling to prevent lash breakage).
Remove Excess Product: Wipe the tip of the comb brush on the edge of the mascara tube to remove excess formula— this prevents clumping and smudging on the eyelids (critical for the ash-black shade, as smudges are easier to blend but still need control).
Apply to Upper Lashes: Hold the brush horizontally, start at the base of the upper lashes, and comb upward toward the tips— repeat 1-2 times to build subtle volume (the ash-black shade looks best with 1-2 layers; more may look dull). For inner-corner lashes, tilt the brush vertically and use the tip to coat them.
Apply to Lower Lashes (Optional): Tilt the brush vertically, lightly brush the tips of the lower lashes (avoid the base to prevent under-eye smudging)— use a small amount of product, as excess may make lower lashes look clumpy (the ash-black shade is more forgiving but still needs moderation).
Fix Small Issues: If clumps appear, wait 10-15 seconds for the mascara to dry slightly, then use the comb brush to gently separate the lashes. For minor smudges on the eyelids, use a clean cotton swab to dab (not rub) the area— the ash-black shade will blend more easily with skin tone.
Removal: At the end of the day, use a water-based or micellar makeup remover— soak a cotton pad, hold it against the lashes for 10-15 seconds to dissolve the formula, then wipe downward (following lash growth) to avoid breakage.
