Joseph Carrillo is a Mexican-American celebrity makeup artist and the Co-Host of the podcast ' Becoming an Icon,' which explores various Latinx genre-defining stars such as Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, and others whose talent is so memorable that they transcend mere performers and ascend to the iconic level. Whether used to prep, set or treat, their formulas can be found brimming with thickening and conditioning ingredients to help boost the lash line in the short and long-term.

Looking at CODE VLM results, nothing else, not the brush or the formula, I would liken it to Benefit’s They’re Real! I also love the lip liner, it goes on so smoothly and stays put all day, it's absolutely the best I've ever used. Thanks to the inclusion of peptides in the formula, it works to fortify the lashes and help give them a smoother, more conditioned look.For more mascara tips, check out our make-up tutorial, with make-up artist Jesse Walker, on how to do a glam (and easy) gold smokey eye. The fibre mascaras are infused with tiny synthetic fibres that attach to the lash tips to extend, build, and plump up the lashes!

After having a reaction to false eyelashes I tried the Forget Fake Lashes and the Volumising Lengthening Mascara. For best results, we suggest always starting with an eyelash curler to make the most of the natural lashes before applying any product on top. Joseph is responsible for the red carpet makeup of stars like Teyana Taylor, Dascha Polanco, and Madelaine Petsch.Use CODE VLM on its own, or take your lash game to the next level by applying a coat of CODE FFL underneath. I have and have had no issues with any other brand of mascara only Code Beautiful so it must be down to the quality of their packaging. Carnauba Wax helps soften your lashes as well as makes them appear thicker, longer and more voluminous!
