    I really like this. It's a very natural enhancement to my lashes. It holds my curl, holds up to weather rather nicely, doesn't flake or smudge. It gives a little length and defines without looking...

    Mascara Basic gives me natural defined lashes and it holds my curl. Stands up well to rainy weather, wind, fog, heat, and that's basically all the extreme weather conditions I've worn this mascara...

    I absolutely love the natural look this mascara produces--really the nicest I've ever tried in that respect. Unfortunately, like every masacra I've ever tried (except Trish McEvoy) it leaves dark...

    I have been searching for a good WP b/c I work part time as a lifeguard. Mascara basic is amazing. No one can tell that I am wearing mascara b/c it looks so natural, but it curls my lashes (they...

    UPDATE (07-24-2008): I am changing my rating, from 5 stars to 2 stars, and I will not buy this product again. It is indeed a basic mascara. The results are magnificent immediately after applying...

    I like mascaras with natural effect, but I really do not like this one. Yes it looks natural... but too natural: it does not make my lashes look fuller at all. I have naturally thick lashes and it...

    I won't but this again for one simple reason. It was much too difficult to remove. I only use my regular cleaner to remove mascara but that's all I've ever used and that's all I want to use. I had...

    I'll be honest, I didn't want to like Shu Uemura's Mascara Basic because of the cost. I've NEVER owned a $27.50 tube of mascara before, so this was a splurge. But lately I've been having trouble...

    The name of this mascara says it all, it's a very basic mascara. It does not really add volume to the lashes and it also won't lengthen the lashes. The mascara dries pretty fast and it didn't clump...

    Well, I finally tried this mascara when Shu had free shipping. It's different. My lashes are thin and short, and it doesn't give them much thickness (although it does give a fair amount of length)....
