Too Faced Asked to Stop Making Claim About ‘Better Than Sex’ Mascara
There are countless beauty products that tote “too good to be true” benefits, but none have a more notorious reputation than Too Faced’s ‘Better Than Sex’ mascara. Its hourglass-shaped brush and collagen-fueled formula have made it a cult favorite for the lash-obsessed. But now, its reputation is on the line.

Last week, the Better Business Bureau’s National Advertising Division requested that the brand remove certain claims from the product packaging. The one in question says the mascara will deliver “1,944 percent more volume” and offers before/after photos as evidence.

Although Too Faced has since agreed to stop saying that their claims are based on clinical studies, the brand has already planned to appeal the NAD’s case.

An official statement to WWD reads, “Too Faced strongly stands behind its claims, and has appealed NAD’s decision in this case. The tests used to establish these claims were conducted using sound methodology at a highly-regarded independent laboratory, and the results support not only the 1,944% claim, but also the Before-and-After photographs at issue.”
We have just one question: is this mascara actually better than sex?
