Smokey Eye is a dramatic mascara, one that's a bit too dark for my fair appearance during the day, but perfect for night. Lately, I've switched over to a charcoal, soft black, or brown-black shade for a more flattering, natural look. I know makeup artists will disagree with me, but I feel a little "out there" when I go to work with a vampy eye.
Bobbi Brown says Smokey Eye Mascara allows you to build volume, lash by lash, so lashes look longer, thicker, and more individually defined. You can layer it without the glop factor. The night I learned about it, the Bobbi Brown representative had on five layers! Her lashes looked great.
The cylindrical brush delivers clump-free volume and will reach even the shortest and hardest to reach inner lashes. Right now, I have a few short lashes grouped in the middle of my right eye, and they were covered with one sweep.
I think anyone looking for a black-black mascara that will amp up her lashes quickly and easily will want to try Bobbi Brown's new Smokey Eye Mascara. Right now, there is an advance promotion running at Bobbi Brown's Web site. Until the end of September, you will receive a 10-day supply of Smokey Eye Mascara with any order. That's a nice deal.

Will have to try it!
That sounds good. Does it come off easily?
I'm glad to hear that you gave it a good review. I just had a "mini-makeover" with the new Katie and Bobbi palette, and loved the colors on my eyes and face (the long-wear eyeliner pencil is amazing!). But the makeup artist said that her fave is still the Extreme Party mascara and she felt that the new Smokey Eye mascara was better for lengthening than adding volume! I was quite surprised to hear that. But now, I want to try it, esp. since it can be layered without clumping. Thx, CG!
Yes, Anju, it stays on all day, but removes easily.
This mascara has been a Nordstrom exclusive for a few months. I've got puny lashes and have been love using it for about the past month or so. If you want to try it out now, it's available on Nordstrom.com:

Thanks ... Will definitely give it a try ... Although Guerlain maxi lash works for me :)
This is definitely on my "to buy" list. I've been using a gift with purchase size of Lancome's Hypnose Mascara--and it isn't quite giving me the oomph that my sparse, short lashes need. The way you have described the Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye Mascara, has made me want to give it a try!
Hi CG. Does Smokey Eye hold the curl in your lashes?
