I wear contacts. I swim. I sweat. I wear greasy/oily sunscreens. My lashes have blonde tips. I feel absolutely feel naked without mascara. However, my lifestyle is not compatible with it. This is one of the most truly waterproof mascaras on the market. Absolutely most comfortable with contacts. I've tried them all. It's also fairly easy to remove with micellar water. Is it the most dramatic? Not entirely. But it's a lot more dramatic than you'd expect. It's amazing with curled lashes. The formula seems to hold the curl well, and doesn't weigh the lashes down. Zero clumping. The brush really does help get every single lash. The overall effect is a very bright, wide eye sort of lash. Very natural looking.... and I don't mean natural as in "doesn't do anything" but more like... doesn't look overly made up. It's fantastic for an everyday look, especially if you need long wearing. It's the best for lower lashes, and sometimes when I use a more intense mascara on my upper lashes, I still use this on the lower lashes. It's truly a uniquely amazing mascara. Read more
I have short, straight Asian lashes and this currently is my go-to for the following reasons: 1. It does not clump. The thinner wand and the shorter bristles make this mascara great for lengthening your lashes, giving you the perfect eye-popping effect that still looks natural and clean. 2. It retains your curl pretty well for how easy it is to wash off. Of all the waterproof mascaras I’ve tried, this is one of the easier ones to wash off (you still need to use an oil-based cleanser/makeup remover). However, I generally find that the easier it is to wash off, the less lifted/curled your lashes will stay. This is still somewhat true for this mascara, but you could say the correlation is not as prominent. The curl falls to a small degree, and in my opinion, my lashes still look very lifted as you can see in the picture, even after the lashes settle. 3. It doesn’t smudge much, if at all. Just try to keep the mascara on your lashes and not your skin when you’re applying. Overall, highly recommend! Read more
I like the product. I don't like that there's not very much product in the tube. It didn't last long before I had to repurchase a new one. ;BUT THE QUALITY OF THE MASCARA IS DEFINITELY GOOD. It gets those fine little lashes and separates them well. I say it's worth the purchase even if there's not alot of product in the tube. I'll buy it again. I only use it along with the other maybelline illegal lengths mascara which happens to have a fair amount of product and is the best mascara I've ever used. Illegal Lengths is better than department store mascara that costs $40.00. Its Lengthening , adds a little extension to your lashes but keeps it natural looking. You should definitely try the Ilegal Length version by Maybelline because it's the best. Not clumpy lasts a good duration and it's well combined with this product under review. Read more
My lashes are sparse, and most mascaras make me look like a clown with all the clumps. This light mascara defines and adds color without looking tacky. My eyes water so I only use on upper lashes. No smears. Read more
I like the tiny brush for my light lashes! I was trying all the products that promise to make your lashes look thick and long, but all I ever got was that clumpy, spiky effect. This is fantastic - it brings my lashes out by giving them color, but they look natural and don't stick together. I wish I had discovered this a long time ago! Read more
I purchased 2 tubes. Only opened one and it was sooo dried up, I decided not to open the second one. Would like my $ back for both tubes. Am sending both back. Terrible! Read more
...why I stopped using it in the first place. This was my first regular brand - like the one I ALWAYS used. It has been around for a LONG time, and I tried it as a newbie to makeup since the wand/spoolie is thin and having blonde lashes, I have to get all the way to the base and the ends of my lashes. It gave me the muscle memory for that, but I outgrew the need for the skinny wand. This is why I didn't rate it lower: for someone new to wearing makeup, who has the time to take their time, it is a valuable product and tool. That just isn't me anymore. I need to be quick about putting on my makeup and I can do that with a wand of any size, now that I know what I'm doing and have learned the power of makeup remover and a cotton swab. The problem lies in how quickly it builds, and that's not very quickly at all. It takes several passes and lots of strokes at different angles in order to get every lash. I can get it to where I want it, EVENTUALLY, but I don't put on makeup because it's fun; I do it because I'm insecure about having lashes and brows that are blonde (just being honest, here). So, I continue my quest for the perfect mascara, and the $6 lesson was: don't look back. Read more
I lost a lot of lash length and some down to the base of my lid from a very bad mascara and age… this helps get all the lashes and I can be precise. Read more
