Awful.wet and burn like pure poison!is a classic? You better be modern then.awful

I too once loved this mascara, but the recipe has changed! While the formula is able to be layered, I always look like Tammy Faye Baker afterward. I am sad to say the old familiar pink and green mascara will no longer be welcomed here.

With this mascara I would never wear alone. It's too liquidy and doesn't hold curl very well. On the other hand, I do recommend this mascara for mixing. You get th best results by applying different mascaras, don't go crazy though. I mean just applying two different ones not like six or five. I normally use this mascara and apply my original one, works great for me. I'd say that you should just give it a try, it's really cheap anyways.

Mascaras are usually hit or miss, and this one is a hit in my family. It's a wetter formula, which makes it great for building volume at the base. It gives the perfect "everyday lashes". Nothing too dramatic. It's very inexpensive too, so that's a plus. I really like it and it's always my backup mascara if I'm running out of a favorite. It's worth it to check it out.

Although this is one of Maybelline's less expensive products, the quality of this product is amazing. The packaging is bright and colorful, and the actual mascara works very well. I use it in Soft Black, and it is perfect.

I don't understand either how this mascara has the reputation of being 'one of the best mascaras.' I am in my 50s and have used almost every brand of mascara there is on the market. To me, this is one of the worst mascaras I have ever used. It doesn't color my lashes, nor does it curl them whatsoever. To me, this mascara did absolutely nothing.

I would love to know who started the rumor that this is the greatest mascara ever!!! I'm thinking the marketing dept. over at Maybelline had something to do w/ it. It's OK for a drug store mascara but it's just OK. Most drug store mascaras are OK. If I see this mascara on1 more list of the best mascaras ever, I'm going to scream!!!!!

I don't understand why this gets really bad reviews. I have been using this since I started wearing mascara. I have tried so many different ones that I have a huge collections of mascaras. I always go back to this one. The only one I have found that I really like is Loreal. I even hate my Lancôme one. Mascara doesn't last long in general. The air gets in the tube and dries it out. Once it gets clumpy throw it out. This is a buildable mascara. I love that the brush is small and sleek so I have more control and it also allows you to go in lash by lash if need be without making a hot mascara mess.

Oh, how I despise this mascara.
I have no idea why this mascara has a reputation for being the "classic" mascara. Immediately, this mascara made my curled eyelashes wilt and droop. My lashes clumped together after only 1 coat and the product itself was gloopy and a little gross to be honest. Since I was in a rush to get to work when I applied this, I used a pencil to separate my lashes as best as I could and ran out the door. When I had time to check it on my lunch break (about 4 hours later), I was shocked that no one had said anything to me! There were not only black smudges under my eyes and all over my lids, but there were black crumbly pieces that had fallen onto my cheeks.
Overall, stay away from this mascara, I've never used a more horrible product!

I really think somewhere along the years this mascaras formula was changed. While I know teenagers use cheap products, due to money issues, I never recall years ago this mascara being as bad as it is.
It seems majority lately are horrible, more than they use to be like something extra horrible is being added.

I put this at a two "lippie"/"star" because while this is bad, I have found worse in my search for something that doesn't make me look like im wearing fake eyelashes, black lash dandruff or that does nothing.
