Neutrogena Weightless Volume Wax-Free Mascara

Average member rating of 6.3
Average member rating
Rated a 6.5
Weightless, yes. Volume? Not so much. If you're looking for a lightweight layer of color and a natural look, this formula manages to separate, coat and condition lashes without clumping or stiffness. But because it's wax-free, you lose the thickening power of competitors, so don't waste your cash if you want high volume -- which you clearly do if you're buying mascara with "volume" in its name. On the upside: We found it safe for contact wearers.

    I keep coming back to this stuff

    So I have really sensitive eyes and dry eyes. I keep trying other "luxury" brands but I keep coming back to this (in black).

December 15, 2007, 4:45 am So I have really sensitive eyes and dry eyes. I keep trying other "luxury" brands but I keep coming back to this (in black). It doesn't flake (seriously, every other mascara i have tried flakes and hense irritates my eyes), and it doesn't make me look like twiggy (I have very long lashes) my only tiny tiny critique is that it does clump a bit after you have had one tube for a while, but i just keep one of those individual mascara applicators (the kind you can get at a beauty counter for testing mascara) around to whip out any clumps. Highly recommend this product, my sister uses it too. December 15, 2007, 4:45 am

    Horrible mascara

    by zernelle (126 reviews)
    This is probably the worst mascara I have ever used. It made my lashes look better, like any other mascara, but it flaked into my eyes, and it smells terrible! It was so bad I threw it out. I'm just glad I didn't pay for it but got it free when I purchased the Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover, which is a great product. Ingred...

    Not Great

    by llzim1 (5 reviews)
    I'm not a big fan of this. My biggest problem with it is that it is constantly flaking off. This is a big problem when it almost looks like I'm not wearing any mascara in the first place. I've tried using it a couple of times underneath a different mascara since it's a very light mascara, so that it adds a bit more volume. ... May 18, 2008, 11:23 am I'm not a big fan of this.

I've tried using it a couple of times underneath a different mascara since it's a very light mascara, so that it adds a bit more volume. While it looks good, by the end of the day the topcoat of mascara is flaking off because of this mascara. May 18, 2008, 11:23 am

    Weightless?

    I don't know about the weightless part but this is the first mascara I've been able to find that doesn't cause me to have a reaction.

I didn't realize until I started wearing makeup again that I was allergic to certain types of mascara. It gets clumpy unless I put it on very lightly and so that does nothing for volume. This will work until I find something else to use. December 7, 2007, 7:37 am

    not bad, but not great either.

    by ginagate (5 reviews)
    This gives a great natural look, and cannot be beaten for not irritating my eyes (especially during allergy season!). But there's no volumizing going on ; at most, there's darkening and emphasizing. that's about it. I'd wear it to work or on weekends; this is not the stuff to try when looking for dramatic, lush lashes. April 18, 2008, 8:46 am

    Sensitive Eyes

    by Monique1964 (3 reviews)
    This product is great for sensitive eyes. It also does not smear into makeup around the eyes to give you that raccoon look. It's not heavy so if you need a evening look, this is probably not the mascara for you. This is light and fresh. It's great for my 8 hour work day. December 27, 2007, 5:26 pm

    For sensitive eye lashes

    by kiara41674 (4 reviews)
    Seriously this is meant for sensitive eye lashes...I have very sensitive eye lashes and I've tried all the mascaras to find one that won't irritate my eyes, well this is it. It's actually weightless, not clumpy, and a nature feel. Its like you are wearing nothing. November 30, 2007, 5:56 am

    My fave!

    by Michigander (8 reviews)
    The problem that I have had with other mascaras is that at some point during the day it would rub off, and I would have that pretty raccoon look. This is the only mascara that I have found where that does not happen. Maybe its because its wax-free. October 30, 2007, 4:49 pm

    Great mascara!

    by hvhay1 (6 reviews)
    I love it because it's never clumpy and goopy the way so many other mascaras I have tried are. It may be true that you don't get the "volume" you would with other brands, but I'd rather have the more natural and clump-free look I get with this mascara.

    worst mascara I'VE ever used

    by ilovegreys (19 reviews)
    the wax stuck to my lashes and my lashes stuck to the brush when i would go to pull it up. hurt my lashes. it's been 5 years though, so maybe they've changed the formula. September 13, 2008, 11:25 pm
