    I can’t believe it’s taken me 45 years of wearing makeup to find this! Have had years of panda eyes due to my long straight lashes. Just can’t get it off now 🤣

    Maybelline mascara

    a year ago
    Bottle was almost empty. They don’t fill it as much as they used to. I found a trick to put it on thicker and better heated in the microwave a few minutes then apply it, but there’s hardly anything to apply and it does not make my eyelashes thick.

    Best Mascara for this 58 year old

    a year ago
    This is the only mascara I will use. The brush is smaller in size so I only end up with mascara on my lashes and not my face. The bristles of the brush remain intact. With another brand that I have tried the bristles actually fall off. I will keep using Maybelline!

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Wish they had waterproof brown mascara

    a year ago
    I absolutely love this mascara! It's easy to apply, makes my lashes look long and full. It does not budge or flake all day! I have blond eyelashes so I wear the brownish black mascara. I REALLY REALLY wish they would make a brown waterproof mascara. I prefer wearing brown mascara because of my blond eyelashes and pale skin but I like wearing waterproof mascara too. I don't understand why no company makes a brown waterproof mascara. Maybelline, help a girl out please!

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Gives me a migraine

    2 years ago
    I have used great lash for years, but never the waterproof kind. This gives me an instant migraine when I apply it. I don’t know what’s in it but I am severely allergic to it.

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    Q: I am so sad that you no longer make brown great lash waterproof mascara. I have been loyal to the pink & green since the early 70s. I was able to get away with brownish black for a time but i have let the gray hair set in & it is just too harsh.

    • A: Hi there! Thank you for reaching out. Unless stamped with an expiration date, our products do not expire. Our products have been tested to have at least a 3-year shelf life if unopened and stored at normal room temperature, during which they will retain their integrity and perform as expected. If the product has been opened, we recommend discarding mascaras after 3 months of opening. We hope this information is helpful!

    Q: I second the request to bring back brown. I’ve been loyal to this product for over 30 years. Nothing compares. However, as a fair skinned, blue eyed, blonde, your current shades are too harsh. Begging. Please! Bring back brown!!
