This is the best mascara I've found. I've been using it for about 2 years. It is definitely a one coat mascara and trying to put on more than one coat will result in globs and clumps. You can brush...

I like almay but I felt this mascara did not make my lashes as full as I like them.

I like the look of this mascara.. thickens w/o being clumpy or spidery.... but the smudging and flaking are too much for me. I won't purchase it again.

A fairly good mascara, at least for my longer lashes. I think that women with sparser lashes need something lengthening and they might find this formula a little too clumpy.

It doesn't suck but it's not very great at all. It doesn't separate your lashes very well (ie it clumps), and it smudges very easily. I recommend L'Oreal's Lash Out mascara.

This mascara is great. I have used it for years in the brown color, it is just right for my skin tone and it doesn't irritate my eyes. I love the brush, it NEVER clumps like lots of other ones I...

This is my staple mascara, I've used it exclusively for years. Of course I do need more than one coat, but I've yet to find a mascara that will do the job in one coat! It's great for thickening my...

Good basic mascara. Specked and smeared a little. It did nothing spectacular. There are others that do a better job at making lashes look prettier at the same price.

I love that this goes on thicker than most mascaras and can be easily worked with to get the right look (without drying and clumping your lashes into tarantula eyes in the process). The only thing...

Since I already have long lashes, I just needed something to plump them up. However, the only thing Almay mascara did was clump, flake, give me racoon eyes after a while, and made my lashes look...

Very good mascara for the price. 3-4 flicks of the brush and I have a natural look.

This is one of the oldest drugstore mascaras on the market. I like the way it goes on with minimal clumping and a natural look, but for all its being touted as a thickening mascara, I think it is...

This mascara works great for me. It'll thicken without flaking or smudging on me. Although I do prefer more of a dramatic lash look, I think this mascara gives more of a natural thickened lash...
