    Just a great mascara

    6 months ago
    I have been using Maybelline mascara since I was 16. I started buying it when it was in a red tube. Through the years I have tried others, even ones that said it was for "mature eyes. I'm now 70 and feel this mascara can't be beat. Thank you Maybelline

    The clear is wonderful however the applicator is a cheap piece of pipe cleaner and very unsafe. Why cant the applicator be of same quality as the others with color.

    I'm not sure if I'd use this product on my lashes again. I have pretty straight-thin lashes from wearing strip-ons every single day, but I was really excited to use this product after reading some of the reviews. Curled my lashes like normal, then applied this product, and even after a few layers, my lashes looked the same. I tried this on my brows to see if they'd even them out, and surprisingly enough, it worked way better keeping my brows in place than what this products intentionally used for!

    Yes, I recommend this product.

The wand is in a straight angle which is beneficial for fixing my brows in place. The gel also makes my eyelashes thicker in a more natural way. I would definitely buy another one once I run out.

    I actually always use this as a brow gel, rarely as a clear mascara and it works super well, my eyebrows stay in place all day, as for the lashes i recommend curling them before applying it because without it you can't really see that you have it on. Doing this gives a very natural look and chill vibe, great for schools that don't allow makeup btw:)

    Not as it seems

    At first, the mascara makes lashes look good! I always curl my lashes before putting on any mascara, and I did with this mascara too. But after 15 minutes, my entire curl was GONE and my lashes looked like they do without any curling and without any makeup. Don’t be fooled by this mascara- it doesn’t help, and actually makes things worse by uncurling lashes.

    No, I do not recommend this product.

It gives your lashes a soft feel without getting hard or the clumpy mess. It is easy to remove and easy to apply. This is definitely worth having.

    I do not like using this on my eyelashes bc it takes forever to dry and it makes them clump weird. Also, I’m pretty sure this is just kinda like aloe vera bc that’s what the consistency is like. I however do like using it to tame my baby hairs. Whenever I put my hair in a ponytail, I take this clear mascara out and run the brush over my baby hairs. Then I distribute the products through my hair with my fingers and VOILA! Baby hairs are all smoothed down!!!

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    The formula is too thin

    7 years ago
    I've always used Maybelline mascara on my lashes. Last year, I decided to use clear mascara on my brows. I had a coupon for another brand and I really liked their formula. It was thick and dried quickly. When I ran out of it, I bought the Great Lash. I love the waterproof black Great lash on my lashes, but the clear formula was wet and thin. By the time my brows dry, the shape is gone. It needs to be thicker. I'm very disappointed.

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    Nice for bottom lashes

    7 years ago
    I bought this thinking it would hold a curl on my natural lashes or hold my eyebrows in place. However, it didn't do either. It did do a good job of separating my bottom lashes (I don't normally use mascara on them). After wearing and applying a lot on my lashed, I found that my hairs would droop back down instead of staying up.

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    • A: Hi Lala268bibibumbum! Thanks for reaching out about Great Lash Clear Mascara. When you sleep with your mascara on, you're at risk for smudgy, dried-out eyelashes, at the least, so always remove mascara before you go to sleep. If you sleep with anything on your eyelashes, we recommend using our Lash Sensational Boosting Eyelash Serum to help fortify and condition lashes for a shinier, glossier, and softer look. We hope this helps!
