Chanel made news for its innovative 3D-printed mascara in 2018 and the luxury house created a new take on this idea with its Le Volume Stretch mascara. Like the first time around, Chanel used 3D printing to create an applicator that perfectly complements the mascara formula. The 3D printed brush boasts a flexible design that has small spikes to "catch, roll and lengthen lashes."
The mascara itself is made with jojoba extracts and what Chanel describes as a "flexible latex-type film," so that users are able to achieve lashes that look lengthened, stretched and volumized. This product represents the future of beauty, which leverages a tailor-made solution to optimize product application.
