Estee Lauder MagnaScopic Maximum Volume Mascara by Estee Lauder, Mascara Review

6.5

Big promises from this big blue tube: thick lashes, easy precision, bold color and no clumping. The heavy liquid offers even coverage after several coats, but "30 percent more intense"? Nah. The trouble is the super-straight wand; the tapered tip is a magnet for excess product, making it hard to get to smaller end lashes. The short bristles glide over lashes with minimal clumping, but the "300 percent more thickness" claim might be a couple zeroes off.

Thank God I didn't pay full price for this

I got this mascara in a gift package and I definitely won't be buying a regular tube of it. It promises maximum volume, but the brush bristles are so short, and the product is so goopy on them! My lashes looked like spider legs. It brings back bad memories of maybelline's new "colossal" mascara. I've gone back to my "full 'n' soft" since trying this stuff. — 3 years, 2 months ago

My mascara staple
missoconee (57 reviews)

I have used this everyday for 10 years and have had no problems. My eys are very sensitive and this has never burned or caused any eye problems. This mascara never clumps or flakes. I like how dark the black color it. — 1 month, 1 week ago
