Eve's Mascara is an unlockable passive item.

Effects

  • 2x damage multiplier.
  • -0.5 shot speed.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) 0.5x tears / 2x tear delay multiplier. (The player's tear value will always be halved.)
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) 0.66x tears / 1.5x tear delay multiplier.

Notes

  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) Eve's Mascara is DPS neutral, though often the reduction of shot speed is a downgrade.
  • Combos very well with any item that scales with damage but not with fire rate, such as Rotten BabyRotten Baby or (except in Rebirth) Fate's RewardFate's Reward.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Eve's Mascara is effectively a 33% increase in DPS, and the shot speed down is no longer as detrimental due to changes in how range works.

Synergies

  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) AbyssAbyss: When Eve's Mascara is picked up instead of being converted into a locust, it grants all of Abyss's locusts the high damage up without suffering the tears down allowing Isaac to increase his damage rate substantially the more items he uses Abyss on.
  • Epic FetusEpic Fetus: Missiles are not affected by low shot speed and the fire rate difference is negligible, granting double damage with nearly no downside.
  • Mom's KnifeMom's Knife: The Knife is not affected by shot speed. Tears down and 2x damage multiplier still apply.
  • (except in Rebirth and Afterbirth) TrisagionTrisagion: Beams turn black and do double damage. The low shot speed makes beams damage enemies more frequently.
  • (except in Rebirth) Tech XTech X: Tech X benefits from a lower shot speed due to it staying on enemies longer and is also not affected by range, giving little downsides.
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) The tears down can be a major downside as it takes longer to charge Tech X and the damage dealt by Tech X is less than Isaac's damage when it is not fully charged.
