12 Worst Mascaras

WOW--Surprisingly Effective!
I am forever on the prowl for the perfect mascara. At this time of year, I need a waterproof formula which truly doesn't clump, smudge, or budge whether I am in high humidity or the ocean. Maybelline's "Lash Discovery Waterproof Mascara" is something I picked up last month for about $5.00. I didn't expect dramatic lashes, but that is what I did get. Why? The unusual, ultra-thin brush allows y...read moreou to reach, color, and hold the curl of every single lash, whether it's on the bottom or top. Because it is pliable, I use a second coat for additional "oomph." When all lashes are completely covered and separated well, you do have more glamour than you expected. I am highly surprised at how very well this works for me. I hope you have the same results!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 5 people said helpful

A little disappointed!
I purchased both the Waterproof and regular versions and the review is almost the same. However, I did take an additional star off for the Waterproof formula as I did experience the same challenges as with the regular formula (except a little less flaking, but still smudging which shouldn't happen with a Waterproof formula).I recently came across a review for this product from one of my favorite a...read morend trusted beauty bloggers. This lesson has definitely reminded me that what works for one person, doesn't necessarily work for another. :( First, the positives. Pretty, feathery, defined lashes. Very natural looking, so if you are looking for vampy volume, I would pass on this mascara. The brush is small but in a good way! It is easy to get all of the lashes with this brush. I came across a WNW mascara that I was loving for the "natural" look but this one was so highly rated that I wanted to give it a try, too! I did experience some minor clumping even though the product states no globs or clumps, but the biggest issue for me was smudging under my lower lash line. I applied 2 coats to the top and 1 to the bottom; within 5-7 hours, there were smudges under my eyes. If anyone has any tips to prevent that, please let me know! (I had concealer under my eyes and a light dusting of setting powder.) I tried it on both the upper and lower lashes, but purchased it specifically for the lower lashline and found that I really didn't like it on either lashline. (The mini brush is super tiny and makes it so easy to get in the lower lashline.) The reviews are so overwhelmingly positive, that I would still give it a try as it might work for you! Maybe purchase from a store that allows returns even after trying, such as Ulta. Unfortunately, neither formula worked for me and I will not be repurchasing.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 3 people said helpful
