The brush was fine/serviceable, if a little small. It’s a bristle brush (which I prefer over the plastic/ rubber ones) which is tapered at the end and it coats lashes well. The mascara formula left...

Doesn't go on very smoothly, and smudged within a few hours of application. I didn't have any emollient creams below my eye to cause this, so I blame the product. It also doesn't thicken...

I liked this mascara, but it seemed to leave a shadow under my lower lashes and it is difficult to remove. Otherwise, it did not irritate my eyes. I will not re-purchase this.

I found this mascara to be clumpy and difficult to work with. The combination of the formulation and the brush gave me such poor results and no matter how much I tried to fix the look of my lashes...

This is an outstanding mascara and costs only $4.99 in Target. I happen to think it's a hidden gem at the drugstore, I never even hear it talked about on YouTube but I don't know why. It gives...

This mascara causes build-up on my contacts. At first, I thought it was "user error" meaning I wasn't applying it correctly. Now, I know that isn't the case. I switch to one of your other brands,...

Wow! I was not expecting to have such luck with this brand. I am a contact wearer with sensitive eyes. All of the other drug store brand mascaras I've tried have ended up flaking and irritating...

Never have I raved about a mascara that isn't waterproof, but I'm raving right now. As long as I curl my lashes properly, this stuff gives me nice, dense, pretty lashes and I love that it comes in...

Wow, I was not prepared for a mascara home run from Almay! Not that I wasn't expecting much, I just prefer very dramatic lashes and I didn't foresee this making the grade. Maybe it was the kind of...

Provided good volume, but after four hours I had raccoon eyes, and it wasn't even hot outside. Actually, I was only outside for a few minutes & spent the rest of the time in an air-conditioned...

I love this mascara! It doesn't take more than two coats to get thicker looking lashes and the brush is the perfect size and shape for me (the one drawback of my all time favourite Almay Get Up and...

In spring I tend to have sensitive eyes and that's why I gave this mascara a try. It's a decent mascara, providing volume and a bit of length but nothing outstanding or special. I wouldn't go as...

I have somewhat sensitive eyes that tend to tear if I don't let mascara completely dry for at least ten minutes if not more before I head out of the house. Monday-Friday, I apply my mascara at work...

Yay!!! I had to break up with L'Oreal mascaras that I really liked because it was drying out my eyes like crazy. Thought it would be hard to find a gentle mascara with dramatic results but it...

After the tube dried out a bit and I scraped off all the excess, this had beautiful results. Thickened, lengthened, and curled my lashes. Unfortunately, the smudging was strong in this one and I...

I'm pretty easy to please with mascara, all I ask is that the mascara helps my eyelashes look better than with nothing on and preferably not flake. This didn't do much for me. It was an ok product,...
