Hollywood's Best-Kept Mascara Secret — Now Yours

Description

Celebrity makeup artist Jo Baker has been building iconic lashes on red carpets for over 20 years. Tarantulash is her formula — the exact mascara she reaches for on set. One to two coats for polished everyday wear.

Five coats for the bold, inky, spidery lashes you've seen on her clients. No crunch. No flaking. No budging. Just extraordinary lashes, layered exactly the way you want them.

How to wear it: one coat separates and defines for a clean daytime lash. Two adds visible volume. Keep going — the formula stays soft, so coats three through five build drama without stiffening into clumps. It holds all day and comes off cleanly with Daily Meltdown.

Vegan and cruelty-free, like everything Bakeup makes.

Highlights

Vegan Formula - No animal derived ingredients
Buildable volume that lasts all day — from everyday to editorial.
Smudge-proof, flake-proof, and humidity-resistant for real-life wear.
“Lash extensions in a bottle” — length, lift, and separation in seconds.
Vegan & cruelty-free, formulated by Jo Baker herself.
Curved brush with varied-length bristles for maximum lift and even application.

Jo's Tips

Use 1-2 coats for a simple everyday, wear, 3-4 coats for an edgy, cool lash that won’t quit, or build up 5+ coats for the inkiest black, boldest look.
Apply to lashes starting close to roots and brush through from root to tip, coating all lashes evenly. Apply additional coats for buildable volume.
Don’t be afraid to get messy with it! Rock a smudgy attitude lash or use Wipe Out Micellar Water on a cotton swab to clean up around your eyes.

Benefits

Tilia Tomentosa Bud Extract: creates a protective film/coat on the lashes making them luminous, with volumizing and protective properties
Hyaluronic acid + Vegetable Collagen: conditions & moisturizes the lashes
Vegetal Wax Blend: gives structure to the lash

Barbie lashes of your dreams!!

My new favorite mascara! It gives your lashes the volume, color, and length of your dreams! Tarantulash is a dark black, wet, buildable & lengthening mascara. You can wear it in so many styles, and even can use a thin brush to wear it as an eyeliner! It also lasts all day, doesn’t smudge, and I even swam 13 feet underwater with it on and it didn’t run or look any different. Absolutely obsessed! I cannot go anywhere without it!

Absolutely OBSESSED

This has become my new favorite mascara. I’m absolutely OBSESSED 😍

Young eyes

Love this product. I am 77 year old and this make my eye more open and young.

Hi Eleanor, we're so happy to hear that you love Tarantulash and that it makes your eyes feel youthful! Thank you for sharing your lovely feedback.

Love my lashes they look so full and beautiful

We love hearing that Tarantulash is delivering the volume! 🕷️ Thanks so much for sharing your experience.

Best Mascara EVER

I'm in my late sixties and have worn mascara since my early teens, and this is the BEST I've ever used. Finds and thickens every last lash without stiffness, lifts and curls (I no longer need my eyelash curler), delivers visible color that last all day, and stays put but washes off easily. I will never search for another mascara. Thank you!!!

You're the best! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review—we're so happy you're loving everything.

Awesome Mascara

I tried for this for the first time on QVC and was blown away about how big it makes my eyes look. Is my favorite mascara now I don’t go without it.

We appreciate you so much! Thank you for sharing your experience and for being part of the Bakeup Beauty family.

Not satisfied

For as expensive as this mascara is it didn’t perform as well as I expected it didn’t keep the curl as my previous mascara does and didn’t give my lashes the volume I gotten from other products I have used I was very disappointed

Incredible mascara!

No words can express how I love this mascara. I am all about the brush and the application and again this was a 💯 yes for me.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! Nothing makes us happier than hearing our products are bringing a little more joy to your beauty routine.

I love it, as it does really fill in and lengthen eye lashes. My lashes arent hard as other products and no smear !

Hi Kathleen, we're so happy to hear you love the Tarantulash Mascara! Thanks for sharing your experience and for choosing Bakeup Beauty. Enjoy your fabulous lashes!

Tarantulash Mascara

I was so excited to try this product but, I must say, I was extremely disappointed. I don’t know if I was sent an old, expired product or what, as the mascara was very clumpy when applied and did not separate my lashes well. So sorry I spent money on this product since it will go to waste. I’ve tried using this mascara 3 different times and hated it so now I’m stuck with a full tube that I will not be using.

Hi there, we're sorry to hear about your experience with the Tarantulash Mascara. We appreciate your feedback and would love to make this right. Please contact us directly hello@bakeupbeauty.com so we can assist you further. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

Most powerful mascara!!!!

I love it so much!!!!!

Hi Marco, we're thrilled to hear you love Tarantulash!! Thank you for your wonderful review and support. Enjoy your fabulous lashes!

Great Mascara!

Best mascara I’ve ever used. My only complaint is that you need to make a mascara that’s waterproof. It does run a little.

I love it!!!!

I have tried over 5 mascaras and this is far more superior for longevity, and staying power. It has persevered through 12 hour shifts, sweat, and tears this will be a repurchase for me.

Hi Jamie! Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're thrilled to hear that Tarantulash works so well for your busy days. We appreciate your support and look forward to serving you again!

Are those ?

MY LASHES ARE ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL WITH TARANTULASH. PEOPLE OFTEN ASK ARE THOSE YOUR EYELASHES AND I REPLY ARENT THEY FANTASTIC ?

The way the mascara was advertised, "as the best"......I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't any better than CLINIQUE ---- which I would rather not be paying for.
For many years I have tried to find a great mascara that I could rely on.

Best Mascara

I love this mascara the best I’ve used. I need it to come to the UK.

No noticeable difference

I was excited to try this mascara. It cost 3 times more than most brands but I didn’t notice a significant difference. Bit disappointing.

Awful mascara

Don’t waste your money!! I received the mascara and it was thick and gooey! Left clumps all over my eyelashes. When I tried to return it, I was told it is not returnable because it had been opened. Who orders something from company and never opens it and then returns it??? Terrible customer service! Very disappointing!!

TARANTULASH MASCARA

This mascara is nothing but a overpriced, big clumpy mess!
It flakes all over my face, I was constantly cleaning flakes off of my face throughout the day. It does not add any length at all, and it's not build-able unless you like a big clumped up mess
The worst mascara I've ever used!

Did not work for me and couldn’t return.

Very disappointed.

I was so excited about this mascara after seeing it on The View. I have used it twice and both times it clumped so bad I had to remove it and go back to my previous one. Do not recommend.

Lovely Lashes

I love it! I have very short lashes and this mascara made a colossal difference. One stroke I was sold 100%! Easy on, easy off during nighly facial wash. I definitely recommend!

Amazing

Love this mascara! Typically, mascara always bothers my eyes. This stuff is amazing, stays on without smudging, and I can’t even tell I’m wearing it! Will only use this from now on!

Tarantula Mascara Ugh!!!!

Totally disappointed as it is no different than Revlon Big Bad Lash which is sooo much cheaper

TARANTULASH MASCARA

Awesome

Absolutely the best! Makes my lashes long and thick! I love it

This product delivers!

I was a little bit skeptical when I made the purchase. But this product delivers! Eyelashes look great, there is no flaking and no smearing. It lasts all day. It is a deep rich, black color, and I love the way my lashes look.
