Mascara 101™

"No-nonsense mascara that does mascara things, cleanly."
Our take

$26 Price at Saie, checked Oct 2026.

The short answer

Mascara 101 is a thick, buildable mascara for longer, lifted lashes, made with 100% natural or naturally derived ingredients. It's worth it if you want a clean-formula mascara that goes from natural to more dramatic. If you need fully waterproof wear, look for a dedicated formula.

Our Take

Why it made the edit.

Why we love it: One coat looks natural and two or three build real thickness, so it suits both workdays and nights out. The small bristles at the tip make bottom and corner lashes easy.
Skip it if: You need a waterproof mascara for long, sweaty days.
The catch: Saie doesn't position it as waterproof, so expect it to behave like a regular mascara in rain or tears.
