This mascara is just O.K. I went into Sephora looking for a higher-quality mascara to try out, and asked the salesperson for one that volumizes, lengthens, and curls, so she directed me to this one. I am just not sure what to make of it. It does everything it says it does, although I have had mascaras that lengthen a bit better, but it goes on clumpy. It is near impossible for me to put on two or three coats without it clumping. The good thing about it is that it lasts a while and doesn't smudge. I bought the waterproof version because I tend to get raccoon eyes and wanted something I could wear out clubbing that would last. In terms of a waterproof mascara, this is the best I have had yet because it does not dry hard and does not begin to flake after a few hours. It is actually pretty easy for me to remove with a some vaseline and a tissue, which is great. I don't think I would buy this again but it is good enough for me to keep using for another few months until I have to replace it.

I got mine in Extra Black and it's the darkest black mascara I've ever used, that being said, it makes your eyelashes stand out like nothing else

It gives your eyelashes that falsifying effect without it looking clumpy

The only downfall is that It's not so great at giving your eyelashes a good curl

This mascara is supposed to do 3 things: volumize, lengthen, and darken. I'm a drugstore mascara kinda girl, so for $24 it better deliver.

The truth is, it volumizes and darkens well, but falls short with the lengthening. Plus, it doesn't hold a lash curl. For someone who has short-ish lashes, I need my mascara to hold a curl so you can actually see my lashes. But this one fails to do so.

It is very similar to my beloved L'Oreal Voluminous actually, and I put both to the test side by side. You can't even tell which one is which. If you want a volumizing mascara, go try Voluminous instead. But if you want volume and length and curling, this isn't what you're looking for.

My eyelashes touch my brow-bone even when I'm not wearing mascara, so a lot of the time mascaras will smear all over my brow-bone, which is a major pain in the butt. As such, I went on a mission for a non-smearing mascara that would give me lush, full, non-smearing lashes. I came up with Makeup Forever's Smoky Lash, thanks to a helpful saleslady at Sephora, and I now am the proud owner of the most amazing, beautiful, non-smearing mascara in the world. (And it's cheaper than Lancome and Dior, which is even better news.)

This won't necessarily give you amazing length, but it will give you full, thick, and defined lashes with no clumping and absolutely no smearing. It has a deep black formula and is really comfortable to wear. To top it all off, it comes off super easily with a little soap and water, and minimal effort.

I love, love, love this mascara! Totally worth the price.

Best mascara yet! Doesn't leave black under your eyes at the end of the day and makes your lashes look big and volumous!
