This does live up to its name of being a true black mascara. Gives my lashes great definition, decent volume and length. My only gripe is that it smudges at the outer corners of my lower eyelids...

I never thought I'd be writing rave reviews for Maybelline's infamous Great Lash mascara. I've tried the original formula with the regular brush with moderate, hit/miss success. I loved the way...

Yeah...I bought it cuz I makeup artists "recommend it" so yeah. Thing is, I LOVE this mascara. It thickens your lashes and separates them. But it clumps up at the end of the brush so it's not a...

I didn't like this mascara at all. The brush was wide, so it caused my lashes to clump and it irritated my eyes too. Would not repurchase.

I find that the product is very wet, and the mouth of the tube doesn't really remove excess properly. Because it's so wet, my eyelashes (that are naturally long) tended to touch, because of the...

This mascara has been out since 1971. I guess that says something about it. I will say that I really like this mascara. It's a flexible formula which means you can build up layers without it...

users who are having problems with clumping of this product are letting it dry between coats - a big no-no. this isn't a good choice if you're looking for plump, over-the-top, night-on-the-town...

This mascara is second-best (I love the Sky High Curves the most). Somehow, this black doesn't blacken as well (!?). Also I don't get as much length from this and end up putting on about 3 coats...

Meh. So horrid. I love really black mascaras, because if you have dark hair you know that most mascaras are not really that dark or that black. Some claim to be black but are actually a dark grey....

A nice mascara if you like a natural look, with not too much plumping or lengthening but good separation. This wasn't any blacker than regular black, and it did smudge a little, but it wasn't...

Strangely enough, this is probably the 4th tube of Great Lash that I've purchased in my life. I had never really liked it before, but I decided to give it a shot, so I picked up one in Blackest...

This is the first mascara that I've ever purchased. First I chose it because of the many years that I heard what the makeup artists said about it and use "Great Lash" because "it's the best". I...

Bought this because according to Allure, it's supposed to be the best. I've tried so many different expensive mascaras, I thought maybe I'd go cheap and see how this compares. What a mistake. ...

There is a trick to Great Lash! I believe the package says "do not let dry between coats," but I would add one more tip: let each coat SET for a moment before continuing. I do each eye, giving...

I like the deep black color, but the formula is mediocre. The wand picks up way too much product, so you have to wipe it off before applying.
