When I first got this I was super excited to try it. I watched videos on how to make the lashes look great. With some practice I was liking it lots.I hear that they have a new formula that is better and I look forward to trying that.
The one thing that I missed was that once it was gone, regular mascara just didn't seem to do anything for me.
I got this as a gift and at first I thought it was amazing but when it started using it and applying a second layer it really began to clump up alot on my lashes which gave it a very ugly look that I didn't enjoy.
Although this mascara definitely makes your eyelashes look fantastic, I find that it clumps, a lot. No matter how applied this mascara clumps, and makes your bottom lashes look like spider legs. Would recommend if you have short lashes and only want to use on your top lashes though.
I sat on the fence for the longest while with this product, but I've used it long enough now that I think I can give it an honest review.
I have been using Younique mascara for about a year now, and I have to admit, when I first used it, my lashes were clumpy and nasty looking. Yes, the mascara gave me added length, but I couldn't stop them from clumping and bunching together. I was beyond frustrated but forced myself to continue to use the product as I had splurged on the price.
I realized after a while that it was more so the instructions that were flawed, rather than the mascara itself. The leaflet that comes with the lashes instructs you to apply a base coat of your regular mascara, then the gel, then the fibers and then the gel, again. After playing around, trying different variations, I discovered that if I didn't apply my regular mascara at all, and went VERY sparingly with the Younigue gel, that I could do multiple thin coats and build my lashes until they looked perfect. Haven't had a clumping problem since!
This really is a great product for those looking to lengthen their lashes, add some volume or just be bold! My only snag is the price point. While the product does last a while, the price is still triple what I'd normally pay ... a little $$ shock value to the wallet.
I would recommend to a friend ... and will definitely be purchasing again.
Ok so for what it's worth this mascara is different because of the texture of your lashes after use. It is less of a mascara as it is a fake eyelash system. It's like paper mache it adds a fake layer of fibers that cone to your lashes like a cast and it's not full of tar or plastic or dye it's natural more like your lashes are anyway. It has a beautiful finish. It definitely has a dramatic effect, longer more volume. Obviously cleaning it off after takes some time and there's more to come off than regular mascara.
I'll never forget the first time I tried this mascara. I was blown away simply by the gel alone and how much length it gave my short, stubby, Asian lashes. After applying the fibres, however, my lashes looked full but fake and clumpy - not a look I strive for. Ever since, I've simply worn the gel on its own. Unfortunately, it doesn't do much to hold a curl for my lashes. I wish it was a waterproof formula for that reason. Is it worth $35 IMO? No. Most drugstore mascaras last a couple months before drying out, but while using this mascara, I've noticed that it's started to dry out within a month's time. Others cons I've noticed while using this mascara is the amount of effort needed to apply the gel and fibres. When applying the fibres, there may be fallout under the eyes. Fortunately, taking off this mascara is much easier than taking off any other waterproof mascara. Nonetheless, I think I'll stick to my falsies and drugstore waterproof mascaras in the future. Sidenote: great packaging by the way.
There is a lot of controversy over this mascara and people telling me it will make me go blind if I use it or some other medical disaster. Well, I tried it anyway, and I lived to write this review. The product does exactly what it says, it makes lashes volumized and beautiful. The process is a bit messy as the fibers can fall all over your face and then you have to brush them off and clean it up. Otherwise, the product does its job and to some people it may be worth the money. I personally have dark and long lashes naturally, so a normal mascara is perfect. People with thin/light eye lashes may benefit from the product a lot more than I did.
This has been the best thing since sliced bread to me! My eyelashes pop and are so much longer. I am not enamored of the price but this product will be a staple in my cosmetic pouch
