About Susan

I'm Susan. Sixty three. California. I spent the better part of thirty years doing makeup professionally before I started writing about what the industry never told women like us. I write about makeup for women over 55. Specifically the part nobody talks about. What happens after menopause and why everything you used to know stops working. I've been there. Still there, honestly. I write for Grace & Muse, Good Housekeeping and Woman's Day. Mum to two, grandmother to three. When I'm not writing you'll find me in the kitchen with something on the stove and wine in hand. (Priorities.) Nothing I recommend is something I haven't tried on my own face first. At this point my bathroom cabinet is basically a graveyard of things that promised a lot and delivered ZERO. So when something actually works you'll hear about it.

You already know shelf mascaras weren't made for lashes that aren't what they used to be. So extensions start to look like the only answer, whether you've worn them for years or you're booking your first set.

But here's what nobody tells you: 

As we age, our lashes get finer and weaker, and the extension on top is twice the weight. Every blink is a tug. Every fill and removal takes one or two of the few you have left. It's like hanging weights on dying twigs, no matter how careful the tech is. You don't see it until they come off.

GraceLash Tubing Mascara does the opposite: no weight, no glue, nothing pulling. Made for the thin, sparse lashes you've got now, it gives you the instant fuller look without losing more lashes to get it.

Here are the 7 reasons so many women choose it over extensions:

1. lashes that finally show up again

1. Lashes That Finally Show Up Again

You're not trying to look 25. You just want to look in the mirror and see yourself again. Extensions glue someone else's lashes over yours. GraceLash Tubing Mascara makes your own show up. The tubing wraps each lash in a lightweight formula that builds just enough volume to make them visible. No globs. No clumps. Just defined, natural-looking lashes you can actually see. Finally yours.

2. makes your lashes stronger over time

2. Makes Your Lashes Stronger Over Time

Extensions hang weight on a lash that's getting finer every year, and that's what wears it down. GraceLash Tubing Mascara does the reverse: a conditioning formula of peptides and vitamins, with no prostaglandins (the chemical in the growth serums you've been warned about). Your lashes are nourished while they're seen, not hidden while they vanish. Many women say that after about two months, it feels like they have more to work with.

3. comes off easy. without taking your lashes with it.

3. Comes Off Easy. WITHOUT Taking Your Lashes With It.

Every fill and every removal costs you a few of the lashes you have left. You know the drill: scrub, tug, and count the lashes left on the cotton pad. GraceLash slides off in warm water in about 30 seconds. No tugging, no lash casualties. No black goop, no fallout.

4. no glue. no salon. no fills. just two swipes.

4. No Glue. No Salon. No Fills. Just Two Swipes.

Extensions come with a life attached: appointments every few weeks, sleeping on your back, babying the glue, and $130 to $150 a month, or well over $1,500 a year. GraceLashTubing Mascara is one tube. That's it. Two swipes, no primer, no curler, no setting spray, no special remover. And it costs less than a single month of fills.

5. finally wearable. even for sensitive, dry and contact lens eyes.

5. FINALLY Wearable. Even For Sensitive, Dry And Contact Lens Eyes.

Extension glue stings, and plenty of women are flat-out allergic to it. If your eyes already water, itch, or turn red at the smallest thing, you know how it feels to be locked out of eye makeup completely. GraceLash Tubing Mascara is gentle on contacts and free from harsh polymers and fragrances. Made to wear all day without giving your eyes a reason to react.

6. no raccoon eyes. not by noon. not by 5pm. not ever.

6. No Raccoon Eyes. Not by Noon. Not by 5pm. Not Ever.

By now you've probably stopped believing mascara could work for you. This isn't that mascara. The tubing forms light tubes around each lash and stays exactly where you put it. On at 7am, still there at 9pm. No melting, no creeping, no ring under your eyes by lunch. No more mid-day mirror checks.

Gracelash spread the old-fashioned way. One woman tells another. A daughter tells her mom. A friend says "you have to try this." Tens of thousands of women later, here you are.

try it for 60 days or get your money back.

Try It For 60 Days Or Get Your MONEY BACK.

You've spent a fortune on extensions that left you worse off, and no salon ever gave those lashes back. So we're not asking you to trust us. We're asking you to test us. 60 days, and if it doesn't work, you pay nothing. That's a promise no fill ever came with.

"Hooded lids, barely any lashes left. I couldn't go bare, I look like an egg. So I got extensions, two years of fills. When I finally took them off, what was underneath was worse than ever. Night before my daughter's graduation I tried GraceLash. Wore it to the ceremony, cried through the whole thing, checked after. Every bit still there. First time in three years I looked like myself in a photo."

"Fills every three weeks for two years, and I didn't realize how much it ran my life until I stopped. No more booking before I leave the salon. No more sleeping flat on my back. I'm 63 and my lashes finally feel like mine again. lol."

"Stopped wearing mascara two years ago because every formula burned my eyes. Told people I preferred a natural look. (I did not prefer a natural look.) Three weeks ago my daughter sent me GraceLash. First time wearing mascara since 2023. Wore it to lunch with her. Halfway through she stopped mid-sentence and said 'Mom. Your eyes.' I almost cried into my sou."

"Seven mascaras in that drawer. SEVEN. Every single one raccoon eyes by noon. I'd genuinely stopped believing something could work for me at 64. Didn't trust this either, honestly. Tried it because of the guarantee. Day one I sat at my desk at 2pm and realised I hadn't thought about my face once. Not once. I actually said out loud to nobody 'oh.' That was three months ago. Drawer is empty now."
