Refillable Waterproof Mascara | Build Your Own | Australia's First

Adorn Cosmetics' Build-Your-Own Refillable Waterproof Mascara is Australia's only customisable refillable mascara system — a world first that lets you choose your preferred wand style and refill just the formula base when it runs out, rather than replacing the entire product. No more single-use mascara tubes going to landfill. Just clean, high-performance lashes with a fraction of the waste.

The formula is Australian-made, vegan, and certified toxin-free — free from parabens, petrochemicals, heavy metals, talc, bismuth oxychloride, synthetic fragrance, sulphates, PEGs, phthalates, and formaldehyde. It is suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers, and delivers smudge-, sweat-, and water-resistant wear throughout the day.

Build-Your-Own Refillable Waterproof Mascara

The Build-Your-Own Refillable Waterproof Mascara Set includes your choice of reusable mascara wand and one waterproof mineral mascara base. Wand styles are available for volumising, lengthening, curling, and defining to suit different lash types and personal preferences. Once you have found your perfect wand, you keep and reuse it — replacing only the inner mascara base when it runs out.

Mascara Refill Base

The Waterproof Mascara Refill Base is the standalone replacement formula for when your existing mascara base runs out. Wash your reusable wand with hot soapy water, allow it to dry completely, then insert it into your new refill base. For optimal hygiene, replace your mascara base every 3 months and wash your wand thoroughly between uses.

Mineral Eyelash Lengthening Lash Primer

The Mineral Eyelash Lengthening Lash Primer is applied to lashes before mascara to extend, volumise, and condition. It creates a fuller, longer base for mascara application and helps the formula adhere to lashes more evenly — particularly beneficial for sparse, fine, or short lashes. It also conditions lashes with every use to support lash health over time.

Smudge-proof Mascara Set + Free Lash Primer

The Smudge-proof Mascara Set + Free Lash Primer includes the Build-Your-Own Refillable Waterproof Mascara, a free Mineral Eyelash Lengthening Lash Primer, and Reusable Mascara Wands — everything needed for a complete lash routine in one value set. This is the best-value way to start with Adorn's refillable mascara system.

Reusable Mascara Wands

Reusable Mascara Wands are available individually if you want to try a different wand style without purchasing a new mascara base. Wand styles include options for volumising, lengthening, curling, and precision definition. Each wand is reusable and washable — designed for use with multiple mascara bases over time.

How the Refillable Mascara System Works

When your mascara base runs out, remove your wand, wash it thoroughly with hot soapy water, and allow it to dry completely. Insert your clean, dry wand into a new Waterproof Mascara Refill Base. Your wand is now ready to use again. Replace the base every three months for hygiene. Keep your empty bases and return them to Adorn via the Return & Recycle programme for TerraCycle processing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Adorn's mascara different from other natural mascaras?

Adorn's Build-Your-Own Refillable Waterproof Mascara is Australia's only customisable refillable mascara. You choose your wand style to suit your lash type, then refill only the formula base when it runs out rather than replacing the whole product. It is certified toxin-free, free from parabens, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrance, and over 20 harsh chemicals, making it suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

How do I refill the mascara?

When your mascara base runs out, remove your wand and wash it thoroughly with hot soapy water. Allow it to dry completely. Insert your clean, dry wand into a new Waterproof Mascara Refill Base. The wand clicks into place and your mascara is ready to use again. Replace the base every three months for optimal hygiene, regardless of how much formula remains.

Can I reuse the same wand with a new mascara base?

Yes. The wand is designed to be reused across multiple mascara bases. Simply wash it with hot, soapy water after each base is finished, allow it to dry completely, and insert it into your new base. This is the core of Adorn's refillable mascara system — you invest in the wand once and replace only the formula going forward.

Is refillable mascara suitable for sensitive eyes?

Yes. Adorn's mascara formula is certified toxin-free and allergen-free by Safe Cosmetics Australia, and is free from synthetic fragrances, parabens, petrochemicals, and harsh preservatives that commonly cause irritation. It is suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. Apply from the mid-lash outward rather than from the root to minimise contact with the lens.

How is the refillable mascara better for the environment?

Conventional mascara tubes and wands are single-use plastic items that go directly to landfill after three months of use. Adorn's system replaces the whole tube with a reusable wand and a refillable base — significantly reducing plastic waste per use. Empty mascara bases can be returned to Adorn via the free Return & Recycle programme with TerraCycle.
