Lashes have evolved across cultures, enhancing beauty with innovative mascara technologies.

If there’s one beauty trend that has truly stood the test of time and can agree on, it’s our collective love affair with lashes.

From ancient queens like Cleopatra’s kohl-rimmed eyes to the fluttery Hollywood icons of the 1950s, and the clean-girl lashes of today…every era has its version of “the perfect lash.”

Defined, darkened lashes instantly make the eyes appear larger, brighter, and more expressive (aka, that instant awake-and-all-day-fabulous look). A universal beauty cue that has transcended centuries, trends, and cultures.

Mascara has always symbolized confidence, expression, and that just-a-bit-extra touch of glam.

A Look Back: Where the Lash Craze Began

Mascara dates back thousands of years (yes, thousands). The desire for striking lashes isn’t new.

Ancient Egyptians, both men and women, used soot mixed with natural oils to darken their lashes
for both beauty and protection from the desert sun.

Fast forward to the early 1900s, when cake mascara made its debut and the first commercial mascaras appeared
—applied with a brush and water, eventually evolving into the tube-and-wand format we know today.

In the 1950s, we entered the glamour era with icons like Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot made lush,
voluminous lashes the ultimate symbol of femininity and synonymous with Hollywood sophistication.

Then came the swinging 60s, when everyone wanted that Twiggy-esque lash line that was
chunky, bold, unapologetically eye-catching.

Each decade has redefined the lash look. Today, mascara has evolved into an art form offering
volume, lift, curl, and even care for your lashes.

Because why stop at beautiful when you can have beautiful and healthy?

Why Lash Primer Became a “Non-Negotiable”

In the early days, primer was known for the base coat before the wall was painted. Then beauty pros realized: lashes needed prep, too!

As lash products advanced, so did the understanding that beautiful lashes start with care. Lash primers were developed to help condition and prepare lashes before mascara application. The concept emerged to create a better base…one that grabs pigment, boosts length, and conditions lashes at the same time.

A good lash primer not only helps mascara apply more evenly and stay longer, but it can also help support lash strength over time.

Once women experienced how much longer and fuller their mascara looked (and how much healthier their lashes felt), primer became the new first step that no one wanted to skip.

That’s where UnderSense® 3-in-1 Maximizing Lash Primer comes in. It helps visibly boost volume, length, and definition while delivering nourishing ingredients that support healthier, stronger-looking lashes.

Why Lash Primer works:

Capixyl™ supports natural lash density and helps reduce lash fallout.

Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1, a peptide derived from biotin (Vitamin B7), helps strengthen lash strands.

Mung Bean Seed Extract and Jojoba Ester help condition and protect lashes from becoming brittle.

The light beige shade makes even application easy and enhances the color of mascara layered on top.

It’s a small extra step that makes a huge visible difference creating a smooth, even base for your mascara while caring for your lashes.

VolumeIntense® vs. FiberExtend:
Three Unique Mascara Personalities — Which Lash Style Are You?

SeneGence offers mascaras designed for every preference...all made to deliver performance, comfort, and care.

Mascara is personal. Some days you want bold, plush lashes. Other days you crave extra length and featherlight definition. And then there are days when you need your lashes to survive life…humidity, long hours, workouts, or even a good happy-cry.

That’s exactly why SeneGence offers three distinct mascara experiences, each with its own lash-loving personality.

Let’s explore them in a way that helps you instantly “see” the difference and choose the right one.

LashSense® Lashes (Lashify® x SeneGence Collaboration)

For the lash lover who wants customizable,
salon-style lashes from home.

Perfect for:
Anyone wanting a polished, elevated lash look that goes beyond mascara but still fits easily into everyday life.

Why SeneGence Mascaras Stand Out

What makes SeneGence mascaras unique isn’t that they share some identical ingredients. It’s that they’re developed with the same high standards for performance, comfort, and quality.

Each formula delivers a slightly different lash experience, but all are created with the same commitment to eye-friendly, long-wearing results.

Here’s what truly sets them apart:

1. A Skincare-Inspired Approach to Eye Makeup

Every lash product is crafted with carefully selected clean ingredients and materials that support lash comfort and appearance whether it’s peptides for fuller-looking lashes, fibers for added length, conditioning waxes for smooth application, or flexible bonds designed specifically for lashes rather than skin.

2. Performance You Can Feel Confident In

All formulas are designed to deliver long-wearing results, including:

Smudge-resistant performance

Humidity-resistant wear

A soft, flexible finish that stays comfortable

LashSense Lashes that stay lightweight and seamless without stiffness

3. Gentle, Eye-Friendly Formulas

Every mascara is:

Ophthalmologist-tested mascaras

Suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers

LashSense Lashes using a gentle, flexible bond with no fumes

Formulated without parabens, gluten, animal by-products, cyanoacrylates, latex, or formaldehydes

This makes them approachable to a wide range of lash lovers looking for comfort as much as performance.

4. Vegan & Cruelty-Free Formulations

SeneGence lash products are vegan and made without animal testing aligning with the brand’s broader commitment to conscious formulation.

5. Options for Every Lash Preference

Rather than a single “one-size-fits-all,” SeneGence created a lineup that allows customers to customize their look:

LashSense VolumeIntense for plush, fuller-looking lashes

LashSense VolumeIntense Waterproof for long-wearing, stay-all-day volume

FiberExtend for lightweight, length-enhancing definition

LashSense Lashes (Lashify® collaboration) for a seamless, customizable extension-like look applied from home

Different lash goals, different tools…all held to the same performance and comfort expectations.

Your Lashes, Your Look, Your Confidence:

but feel comfortably wearable all day long. With formulas and designs created to enhance lash appearance
while supporting a gentle, confident wear experience, SeneGence gives you lash options that feel just as good as they look.

Beautiful lashes are never one-size-fits-all and that’s the real magic of building a lash wardrobe that works for you.
