Maybelline Great Lash Mascara Review

Excellent for an everyday mascara. Doesn't make them particularly long but darkens nicely and makes lashesmore visible. Small brush makes application easy and precise. One to keep in the handbag. Excellent value for money.

Until very recently, this was the only mascara I would use and I had used it for several years. However, recently, I started to get frustrated with the way it "dropped" (made dark patches under and above my eyes). I found myself having to remember to wipe under my eyes throughout the day or I looked like a panda!

I decided to try some other mascaras to see if this was a universal problem. Turns out it isn't. I still love this mascara for it's lengthening and plumping - it really coats my lashes well and makes them stand out. If they could fix the dropping, I'd go back to this one.

My Mum has always told me that this was the best mascara. I have very sparse and short eyelashes and this mascara does literally nothing that I want to get out of a mascara. The wand is bristles, and I prefer a comb-like wand to really get my lashes individually. It also clumps and seems to be quite temperature sensitive in that respect, and I also have a hard time getting this one on my eyelids in my attempts to get each lash coated.

I feel like back in the day this was everyone's go to mascara, it was really a cult favourite. It really depends what sort of look you're after as to whether this is suitable for you.

If you're looking for a nice, natural mascara that will darken your lashes and make them look a little fuller, then this is for you. But if you want a more dramatic look, with massive bigger, longer lashes then maybe try something else.

This is good for every day work sort of situation but i'd use something different for a nigh out. It gives a nice, natural darkened lash look but does not add a lot of volume.

I have seen this mascara in so many friends make up bags over the years and decided to give it a try. Pretty disappointed really. I wanted to like it but found absolutely no redeeming qualities beyond the cheery packaging. The bristle wand is standard but felt a little shorter than the average wand. The mascara went on fairly easily and unfortunately came off just as fast. Twice I had to remove smudges under my eyes during the day which I honestly haven’t needed to do in years. It didn’t offer much in the way of volumising or lengthening and I didn’t continue to use it long enough to see if it started to clump. (Most mascaras don’t clump the first few times you use them, when they are all fresh, and this one didn’t either.) I don’t know why it kept running on me but the second and third time I used it, I found the same thing happened and eventually gave it to my teenage neice. There are so many fantastic mascaras on the market these days and I found this product lacking in comparison and somewhat dated sadly.

This has always been a great trustworthy mascara! I remember using this as a teen and absolutely loving it! It defines your lashes well and is easy to apply, what a winner!

Good colour, extends lashes nicely I really like the brush shape it makes it a lot easier to apply great for beginners or someone with an unsteady hand
