    Q: I'm 74 with hazel eyes and a golden blonde pixie haircut. I now feel that black mascara is too harsh, should I switch to dark brown or brown?

    a year ago
    1 Answer
    • A: Hi wahine! Thanks for reaching out about Great Lash®. Hazel eyes tend to have a bit of brown and green in them, so you can pretty much wear any colored mascara you want– lucky you! But, it’s up to you to decide which color in your eyes you want to bring out. In addition to blue and pink, hazel eyes play super well with purple shades, such as burgundy-colored mascara since it’s technically a mix of the two.

    Q: Is great lash very black mascara gluten free

    2 years ago
    1 Answer
    • A: Hello there! Most ingredients derived from grain sources are highly refined and retain no traces of gluten proteins. For less refined ingredients from natural sources, Maybelline has established strict limits on the level of potentially allergenic proteins. Since individuals exhibit a wide range of sensitivities to these proteins, if you have any questions or concerns you should discuss with your medical care provider. All the ingredients we use in a product are listed on the package or the label of the product itself. For products too small to accommodate the list, a separate ingredient list is available on the display unit in the store for your convenience. Since some ingredients are known by more than one name, we use the standard industry FDA-recognized names. A review of the ingredients that are listed on all of our products or packages will alert you to the presence of this type of ingredient.

    3 years ago
    1 Answer
    • A: Hi there. It is possible that minor changes have been made in the formula of a product; however, the performance should meet or exceed previous results and may not be noticeable at all. There are different reasons why a formula might be changed; availability of ingredients, changing industry requirements, and product improvements are common examples. The ingredients listed on the physical product are always accurate listing. We hope this helps!
