German term or phrase: aufrollen
"Mascara XYZ: rollt extreme Länge auf und hält von morgens bis abends!" (Es geht nämlich nicht um Schwung, sondern um Länge.)

This is a slogan from a mascara advert. Can anyone tell me what "extreme Länge aufrollen" means here and/or suggestion a translation.

Many thanks

English translation:for extra long lashes
Explanation:
one talks of "lash-lengthening mascara"

(all over eye make-up ads)

for that long-lasting extra-long lash look (how about that for alliteration!)

aufrollen = lengthen - it is clearly a roll-on product

these gadgets tend to come in a wand-type shape with a spiral thread going round it to apply to and separate the lashes (to quote the adverts). So the movement is a rolling one. Whence the chocie of verb

Explanation:
If this is "regular" mascara, then it's call lengthening mascara.

The note about this product achieveing length, not just curl, makes me believe that it could also be a lash extender since most lengthening products achieve length by curling the lash upwards. However, an extender would go on clear after your regular mascara.
