One of life’s greatest pleasures: finding a mascara that ticks all the boxes. Volume, length, lasting power, high pigment, lash separation, no clumps – just a few of the non-negotiables we look for in our favourites. And if your checklist looks similar, you’ve hit the jackpot (like us) with our High-Key Volume Mascara.
But, as they say, the proof is in the pudding. So to get a good look and feel for how our mascara might fare with your lashes, read two reviews from our very own BEAUTY BAY staff. And if you think that’s two biased, read some our favourite 5* customer reviews below too.
5 reasons why our High-Key Volume Mascara is so good
1. Instantly volumises and lengthens lashes
2. Has an ultra-black colour that’s actually black
3. Gives a faux-lash effect by coating evenly and gripping to every lash
4. Hard brush core lifts and separates lashes. Soft bristles coat every lash.
5. Enriched with conditioning rice bran wax
BEAUTY BAY Staff Review: Chloe

Job title: Senior PR & Influencer Manager
Review in one line: “High-Key ticks every box and I’ve never had so many compliments on my lashes”
“High-Key is THE all-rounder, it volumises, lengthens, separates lashes and lasts all day. If the before and after doesn’t speak for itself, take it from me that this mascara is 10/10.
It’s super easy to apply, especially to pesky corner lashes as the brush has small bristles that grab them meaning you don’t end up with an eyelid full of mascara. The formula is also SUPER black which adds to the drama – there’s nothing more I hate than a lacklustre mascara.
High-Key ticks every box and I’ve never had so many compliments on my lashes.”
BEAUTY BAY Staff Review: Summer
Name: Summer-May Henry
Job title: Senior Designer
Review in one line: “The claims about this are true, it’s so lengthening and thickening”
“This mascara is super easy to apply! It does not clump at all and gives such an even coat. One coat does so much but if I want a super dramatic look I will apply a second coat.
The claims about this are true, it’s so lengthening and thickening, it really is my fave mascara. I apply in the morning before work and my lashes stay lifted all day without any transfer or bittiness. Massive 5/5 from me, I never wear anything else.”
Our favourite 5* reviews from you
Sarah S says: “Looooove this stuff — super buildable, adds incredible length and curl. Easy to go from “barely there” to “lashy” to “spidery editorial. ” Not to mention how easily it comes off with any cleanser, not just oil/balms.”
Lizze T says: “My lashes are pathetic but this makes them so thick, long and super black in 2-3 coats. It’s So easy to take off too! I’m buying this from now on instead of urban decay and Estée Lauder which I’d normally use. It’s actually better in my opinion!”
Emily B says: “Best mascara I’ve ever used – hands down! Buildable volume and thickens lashes in seconds! Won’t use anything else now!”
Theo B says: “Incredible natural look and stays on forever.”
Samantha says: “Ohmygod. Best Mascara I’ve ever used. Whatever promises are made come to nothing usually. This Mascara is like instant big lashes. Honestly shocked. It was in the sale so I just bought it, never thought it would do what it does as I never believe no Mascara any more. Love!”
