As a girl with Asian features, (which includes stick-straight eyelashes that have no kink or curl in them whatsoever), this mascara really doesn't do much for me.
It has colour, it has gunk. Does it curl? No. Does it lengthen? No. Does it add colour? Yes! (obvs).
Now, I'm giving an Asian Review here, as I know many women that love this mascara and have been using it for years, and it works great for them. But I find that for our short little Asian lashes, this mascara really doesn't add any length of volume.
Don't get me wrong here, there are other mascaras out there that do absolute magic and wonders when it comes to length and volume... this just isn't one of them, for me.
In my opinion, it's best for lashes that already have a natural length and curl to them, and simply need some definition.
I highly recommend this mascara for girls who already have long lashes and are looking for mascara that will make your lashes fuller/thicker. I have been using this brand for years, I have tried different yet a little fancier brands but i always come back to the original.
Affordable and does what it promises to do! What else can we ask for? Other than maybe a product makeover? :)
I have been using this mascara since I was 15 years old (27 now) I absolutly LOVE IT! It never clumps, provides long lasting flake free wear and washes off easily.
Ive been using this mascara for as long as I can remember its my moms favorite to.Its been around a long time and stands the test of time.
This is an old favorite! I always find myself buying all the newest mascaras, waterproof this, vibrating that, elongating to new heights blah blah....truth is....I always find myself returning to this very mascara. It's not expensive at all (about $5 at any drugstore), goes on smooth and lasts all day. No gimmicks, clumps and makes the most out of my lashes everyday and night!
I buy and try pretty much every mascara that comes out in my never ending quest for the perfect eyelashes, full and long.
Even though this classic formula has been out forever, I had not tried it because there was no commercial or actress that I could remember advertising it on tv or in magazines (usually what sucks me in).
This mascara is still not my ideal look for lashes, but compared to the amount of money I have spent buying gimmicky brushes and formulas in the past, this is by far the best one for the money. My lashes weren't clumpy, and they did look longer and fuller.
I like to research my products (or anything for that matter) before I buy them, and every review I came across gave the Maybelline Great Lash Mascara great props. After about a dozen websites and about a week of research, I gave in and ended buying one. My issue with mascara is that it always gets clumpy and I HATE looking like I have little spider legs for eye lashes, which always seem to happen no matter how pricey the product is. I was definitely skeptical about it even though it was one of the cheapest mascara you can find, and because it was the cheapest just because sometimes it's hard to let go of the "you get what you pay for" mentality. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. No clumps, no flakiness, just darker, fuller lashes. This was probably one of the best make up decisions I've ever made and for now I will never buy any other mascara.
For the price of this mascara, you can't go wrong! I love how it goes on nice and smooth, yet thick! It gives a very bold look, and can be layered to give a more piercing look. I prefer my mascara to be waterproof however just so that it doesn't smear as easily, but it's easier to wash off at night.
I seem to try other mascaras, but always come back to this one. It is much better than any of the other mascaras out there that I have tried. And it is decently priced!
I decided to give this mascara a try since I heard so many good things from it from magazines and what not but its not as good as they say it is at all! It didn't go on very well and smudged alot too. There's definitely alot better ones out there from maybelline it self (full n soft waterproof is pretty good) so spend an extra $2 - 3 bucks can go a long way!
