Which is better for length?

Both claim lengthening. The Sky High pairs fibers with a bending brush for root-to-tip extension, while the Firework uses a buildable gel. Shoppers rate the Sky High higher overall, 4.6 versus 4.4.

Is the Firework worth the extra money?

It costs $11.99 at Target versus $10.80 at Walmart for the Sky High as of November 7, 2026. You get a larger 0.33 fl oz tube, a high-shine finish and a 24-hour wear claim for roughly $1.20 more.

Which lasts longer on the lashes?

The Firework states 24-hour wear and smudge resistance. The Sky High only says long-lasting, with no hour figure, so the Firework makes the stronger wear claim.

Which is better for sensitive eyes?

The Firework is ophthalmologist tested, dermatologist tested and allergy tested, and it is unscented. The Sky High lists no such testing claims.

Do they come in the same shades?

No. The Sky High comes in seven shades, including Blue Mist and Burgundy Haze. The Firework comes in four, all black or brownish black.

Which gives more volume?

Both list volumizing. The Firework is buildable and full coverage, so it layers thicker. The Sky High aims for full volume without weighing lashes down.
