    I miss this in BROWN

    The reformulation isn't the best, but most importantly, I need this mascara in BROWN. The black is too harsh for when I just want to look awake and put-together.

    Hello! Thank you so much for your feedback on our Full 'N Soft Washable Mascara. We are so sorry to hear that the latest formula isn't your favorite and that you're missing that soft, natural brown shade! We completely understand that for some complexions, a true black can feel a bit too harsh when you're going for a subtle, awake look. A deep, chocolatey brown mascara is such a great choice for daytime because it defines your lashes just as well as black while looking more natural in the light of day. Since brown formulas are often less pigmented, they tend to look a bit more effortless on the lashes. We've shared your interest in seeing this shade return with our team, and in the meantime, we invite you to explore our other brown mascara options here: https://tinyurl.com/y7346lzg

    This was hands down the best mascara I had ever used. No flaking, smearing or irritation. When Maybelline discontinued this mascara in Brown, I had to start looking for a similar mascara. I'm still looking. Every other Maybelline mascara, and other brands as well, flake miserably.

    Beyond disappointed with the reformulation !

    4 months ago
    I’ve been using this mascara for years and it has been the best brush and formula. They reformulated it and my latest tube has dried out, clumped, and performed so poorly on my lashes after only a week of use. I am SO disappointed!!!! I’d rather pay more for the original formula than have to go back to the drawing board of finding a new mascara! Must everything fall victim to shrinkflation and reforumlation!!? I won’t be repurchasing.

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    One of the best mascaras

    8 months ago
    I've been using this Maybelline Full & Soft mascara for over 20 years, and it’s been a staple in my makeup routine. It always defined my lashes beautifully, makes them naturally long, never thick or clumpy, and left them feeling soft and natural. I regularly get compliments on my lashes, and I’ve always credited this mascara. The brush is one of the best out there, it’s easy to use and gives great control during application. That said, I’ve been a bit disappointed lately. The formula seems drier than it used to be, and it doesn’t apply as smoothly or last as long. I’m not sure if something changed, but it’s not quite the same product I’ve loved for so many years. I really hope Maybelline brings back the original formula or addresses this, because it’s been one of the best mascaras I’ve ever used. I really hope this is just a temporary issue, because I’d love to keep using this mascara for many more years to come.x

    Maybelline, what is going on with this formula now? I’ve loved this mascara for over a decade but have recently noticed that new tubes dry out quickly (after a week or two) and the formula now clumps and flakes. I’ve always loved this mascara for how soft and clump/flake free it was…Please look into this — a quick search shows I’m not the only one noticing this change for the worse.

    Used this for literally decades. Was the absolute best Mascara of all brands. The brush is unparalleled. However, after my recent purchase I noticed a horrible smell and it started clumping and flaking. Thinking I bought an old one.. I bought another. The same thing. Just searched the web for other complaints and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. Maybeline - please don't short cut this product. I promise you'll lose more than you'll save. Please conduct a formula check because something is very off. Now I have 4 packs that I've wasted money on and won't use. Please resolve this for your customers.

    Why oh why would you discontinue this. None of your other mascaras have the same brush, consistency or go on with such ease. I was really disappointed to find out you discontinued the brownish black that is best for blondes and now us older women. I have used this product for years. Such a huge disappointment and again since your other products and brush do not compare, I will have to search elsewhere.

    New Horrible strong smell

    a year ago
    Super disappointed. I have worn this formula for at least 17 years of not longer. I have purchased 3 tubes in the last few days thinking that it was out of date. The smell is so strong that I can’t stand to put it one and I’ve started having irritation and redness on the corners of my eye. I finally researched and see they have changed the formula. They have lost a customer. I just ordered another brand and will throw these all away as I have a sample of something else I can use until the new arrives. I change tubes every 3 months like clockwork. Goodbye Maybelline.

    This used to be amazing but it is now terrible

    a year ago
    I have used this mascara religiously for close to 30 years and have loved it. I have always gotten so many compliments on my eyelashes and I love how long and soft it makes them look. But over the past several months I've noticed a significant difference in the formula and I am certain they must have made a change to the product. There is a bad smell that was never there before and even when you first open the tube it is dry and gloopy. My eyelashes clump like they never have before and the product flakes, which has never happened either. After just a few weeks, the product is so dry it's almost unusable where it used to last a couple months at least. At first I thought i just had an old or bad tube but I have repurchased it with the same results at least 4 times now. I am so disappointed because any time I've tried other mascaras in the past I never like them as much and always go back to this one but I don't think I'm going to be able to keep using it much longer if it continues like this.

    Ive bought this since 2003 religiously i absolutely hate all of your other mascaras but this one. I have contacts and this is perfect for them. The other mascaras are old and clumpy. I will not buy anything but that. Why cant you discontinue great lash thats the absolute worst one.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    We love full n soft brown!

    Please bring back the brown! This mascara needs a full color range in regular and waterproof. The formula is fantastic, please do not change it! It is the only mascara I like. Update the packaging if low sales are an issue but for me and it seems like many others in the comments, this is a staple and needs to stick around. I’ll buy one every 2 months.

    The best mascara, so soft and natural looking, but PLEASE BRING BACK BROWN! What is the point of having a natural looking mascara without natural shade options?

    Full 'N Soft is the best Mascara I have ever used

    2 years ago
    This is more a plea than a review. Please bring back the Brownish Black color. I am a fair-skinned redhead, and a softer black looks much better on me. I have used Maybelline mascara's for more than 50 years. The Full 'N Soft Brownish Black is my all-time favorite.
    I Find This Product:Easy To Use, Fast Drying, Long Lasting, Transfer Proof

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Q: Why did you change the formula of Full&Soft?? I recently got a tube that I noticed was goopy and smelled bad, like old makeup. I thought maybe it was just a bad tube, until I went online and saw others say the same. Why mess with a good thing??

    • A: This happened to me too! I bought another thinking it was a fluke and I got a product that was just old on a shelf… two in a row. Bad smell, irritates me eye and doesn’t go on as well.

    Q: Why does it say not to let the mascara dry between coats?

    a year ago
    1 Answer
    • A: Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about our Full N Soft Washable Mascara. Great question! We recommend applying Full 'N Soft Mascara without letting it dry between coats to help build volume and create softer, fuller-looking lashes. Applying while the previous coat is still slightly wet helps the mascara adhere better and prevents clumping. Enjoy your beautiful, soft lashes!

    Q: I bought a tube a few months ago and thought I got a bad/old one because it smelled so bad and didn't go on as nicely. Then, I purchased it again a couple of weeks ago and this tube of mascara is the same as the previous one. Was the formula changed?

    Q: I am avoiding all salycilates. Please explain what type of Acetate is used in this product? for example, Polyvinyl Acetate is salycilate-free. But Retinol Acetate is apparently used for moisturizing in mascara products. It has been linked to cancer.

    Q: You've ceased the brown "Full 'n Soft" shade? I'm suffering with the glop labeled "Total Temptation," : gross, clumpy. Crossing Maybelline off my list. Profits must be overwhelming if you're purposely driving away customers. Odd "business" model.

    • A: Hi there. We do understand how disappointing and frustrating it may be when a product that has worked so well for you in the past is no longer available. For a more traditional mascara formula in a dark brown, try the Great Lash BIG Washable Mascara in the brownish black. https://www.maybelline.com/eye-makeup/mascara/great-lash-big-washable-mascara/brownish-black

    Q: Do you still make the Full nSoft in the non washable version?  I bought the washable from Amazon and it does not seem to make my lashes as thick and full as the old formula.  Maybe I bought a tube that was old?
