    I have both very oily skin and teary allergy eyes, so normally waterproof mascara smudges and regular mascara runs. This is the ONLY mascara I've ever found that stays perfect, smudge-free and...

    This is my everyday mascara. I use the brown, and it looks nice and natural, adding just enough length and thickness. It's not a fancy, miles-long lashes mascara for sure, but it looks super good!

    Okay, MUA, you win. I ponied up for this. I waited for 4 months before writing a review, just to see if I could find some reason to hate this. I cannot. My natural eyelashes are already long and...

    This mascara is the ultimate in mascaras as far as i am concerned. Yes, $27.50 is quite a lot to pay for a mascara that does so "little". The thing is though, is that i'm a guy. I don't want fake...

    I love this mascara. I have deep set eyes with dark, somewhat thick lashes. All I need is definition and staying power and this product delivers. It's smooth, goes on evenly, doesn't clump, defines...

    Really basic, black mascara. No magic lengthening/thickening properties, my lashes just looked more 'coated'. I'd imagine drugstore mascara would do the same for a less wallet-mutilating price.

    Not a fan of this mascara. Being a fan of shu uemura products in general and especially the lash curler, I tried this mascara after reading about how it takes three months to make a batch. Seemed...

    This product is wonderful under another mascara. It is intended as a primer for women who have stick straight lashes, like myself, or for women who want a very natural look. I would not recommend...

    This mascara is absolutely horrendous! If you want to look like you have shortened and lightened your eyelashes buy this. Also, the next day after following typical nightly routine, which always...

    I am happy with this mascara, which I use over Shiseido's mascara primer. In a mascara, I'm looking for a little length and volume but nowhere near glam; seperation of lashes; staying power; and,...

    This is a really great, foolproof mascara. "Mascara Basic" is a good name for it, because it doesn't do anything dramatic with lashes, but it does give some length, thickness, and definition. It...

    The first time I put on this mascara, I was so amazed by how basic this mascara was, and yet at the same time, it really made my short lashes noticeable without much lengthening or volumizing. It...

    I bought this mascara because I wanted a soft-black, natural-looking mascara. When I applied it, I was thrilled. Usually, for instance, I don't apply mascara on my lower lashes: on me it tends to...

    I like this mascara because it actually really is smudgeproof (doesnt give me racoon eyes by lunch time), and actually stays in place after you curl your lashes. But what I don't like about it is...
