    Just bought this on the strength of the reviews here and am really pleased I did. The other reviewers were right in saying that it does not produce the dramatic effect of some other mascaras I've...

    From all the great reviews on MUA, I was really hoping this mascara would work for me. Sadly, this mascara did not live up to my expectations and I've tried many better mascaras! Positives: ...

    Let me start by saying that I have a lot of eye problems. Chronic blepharitis, eye allergies, dry eye, the works. Normally I can barely wear eye shadow much less mascara. This mascara is...

    This is my HG mascara. I have short, spiky, stick-straight lashes. This mascara - while not for giving va-va-voom glam! - is PERFECT for exactly what it says - a basic mascara. It has a super...

    HG mascara ever since two Bev Hills celeb makeup artists recommended to me 7 years ago for my engagement photo shoot and wedding. Clean, holds a curl like no other, lengthening, no (or very little)...

    I love this mascara. Works great with my short asian lashes, gives me extra length but i do need to use a mascara base with this. It is fairly easy to wash off. Very expensive here in oz so would...

    Love their eyeshadows, meh on this mascara. Unless I got a bad tube, this one is very dry and does nothing to make my thin, short, sparse eyelashes stand out. On the other hand, it's not messy...

    My absolute favourite mascara for years had been Lancome Definicils, however I think they must have changed the formula as it now leaves my eyes red and puffy. The Shu basic mascara lenghtens and...

    it is perfect. not gloppy, gel consistency - perfect if you just want some definition but not crazy overly made up eyes. if i do want to get megaglam lashes, i'll layer it over shiseido mascara base.
