I love this mascara! I have it in black and brown. The brown is perfect for everyday wear as it is super natural looking while still giving my lashes some extra "umph." The black one, while not as natural looking as the brown, is still natural looking and it can really be built up for a more dramatic effect. Love these mascaras. I will definitely repurchase if they aren't discontinued. I think they might have been discontinued. If they have then I'm definitely going to try out other Korres mascaras.

I have very sensitive eyes, and when it comes to the all-dreaded allergy season, I need something that is going to work. This mascara feels like a feather. It goes on super soft and natural looking, while still enhancing length and thickness. It is a great everyday mascara for those who don't like to wear a ton of makeup, and will really satisfy anyone. Great basic mascara.

I'd been using Tarte's Amazonian Clay mascara, and loving it. When I ran out, figured I'd try something else, and Korres was on 50% sale at Sephora.

2 week verdict: Meh. Goes on with a lot of smudges, and I always apply my mascara last, so I have to apply eye shadow, mascara, cotton swab off excess, reapply eyeshadow. I'll use this up, but I won't buy it again.

Terrible, I got this in the olive colour and the excess remover simply did not work. Even after wiping off excess product the formula for this mascara was too wet and smudged like crazy! After a week the excess remover simply came out of the tube and into the bin it went!

I can now say I found my HG mascara and I am never going to try anything else. This mascara is perfect for me because I am not looking for something over the top. It looks very natural and soft, I agree with others that it does resemble Full n' Soft except without the flaking and smudging. I prefer this because it really lengthens my lashes and I don't have to worry about raccoon eyes. Definitely worth trying if you're into the more natural look but if you're looking for something more dramatic then this isn't for you.

I got this in a makeup set from Sephora, so it's a trial size but I love it. The fine brush allows you to build up the mascara without clumping. It also lengthens and volumizes very well, even with my short lashes. I'll definitely consider buying this again when I use up all my other mascaras. haha

Wow! I was surprised that this mascara was good. It gives my eyes a very natural lush and wispy eyelash look.

I can't even tell that there is mascara in a good way. No clumps are spider lashes.

Someone earlier had said that this mascara is similar to Maybelline's Full and Soft and I agree. It seems to give more length too.

A great product. It really does look natural.

This mascara is a real "dark horse" winner. I don't tend to think of Korres as a makeup line, and generally speaking, don't go for "natural" cosmetic lines, so it was a pleasant surprise to find an HG mascara made by this company.

I also got it in the Sephora sampler and it was the last one I tried (which also meant it was about a year old by the time I opened it up). It made my lashes super full, feathery, and dramatic and the black formula seems to be extra dark black. Best of all, no flaking, clumping or smudging and my tube lasted forever without going bad. The wand is the perfect size and shape and super easy to use.

A slight downside is that it tends to dry to a kind of hard consistency, so sometimes my lashes felt a little "crispy".

That said, it's far and a way one of the best mascaras I've ever used. Bear in mind that this review is only for the mini, and I've often found that minis work a million times better than their full-size counterparts, but I will be buying this next time I need a new mascara.

I found this mascara to be pretty good, similar to a Maybelline full n soft but slightly more volume. Good lengthening and separation, nice and soft results. Unfortunately I needed quite a few coats before achieving even moderate results and also it smudged on me after a few hours. For the price, the Kiehl's one is much more impressive.

HQ mascara! I used Dior Iconic but was hesitant to give the 35 Euro again once I ran out. So I thought I'd give this a try since it is very cheap here (Greece). It usually costs 16 Euros but I got this with a kit containing an amazing concealer and a beautiful lipstick all for the same price, 16 E for the three of them ! And was I surprised.....My lashes are blond and sparse but this gave them feathery definition, great dark color, fullness and length and it lasts all day. What is even better is that I can remove it with just my usual almond oil and water and there are no traces, unlike my previous high end mascaras that left a clingy waxy residue that would sting my eyes.
You have to give this a try. And if you find this as cheap as I found it, there is absolutely no excuse for not giving in.

I was so surprised when I tried this mascara. I have used Kiss Me mascara for years, simply because it was the only kind that did not leave dark circles under my eyes and flecks of black under my brow until now... I received Korres mascara in a sample from Sephora. I am not kidding when I say I have tried just about every type of mascara ever made, and when the sales person said you are going to love the mascara I thought , sure I am. Well she was right, my lashes look so much thicker, they are soft , and amazingly,no dark circles !

I bought the sample size of this and OMG I LOVE IT! I have longer eyelashes to begin with, but they are of the "spider leg" persuasion, so not too many mascaras actually make them look fuller, just longer and more spindly. This mascara is great! I've used it every day for two weeks and I'm strongly considering buying the full size! It is far from clumpy, but it doesn't separate my eyelashes into ridiculous spider legs. I always get compliments on my lashes when I wear this! :]

According to Sephora this mascara is formulated without:
Parabens, Sulfates, Mineral Oils, Petro-chemicals, Propylene Glycols, Ethanolomines, GMOs, Synthetic Fragrances and Synthetic Dyes.

Truthfully I'm not even sure what half these things are but they don't sound like something I want so close to my eyes.

This is definitely one of my new fav. products. The mascara itself is great; it's very dark and my lashes don't feel stiff even after I apply a second coat later in the day. It really separates, and makes my lashes look thicker. It makes my lashes look amazing. It's very black and doesn't flake off. I don't think it makes my lashes any longer but that isn't really something I need. The applicator/brush is a traditional wand/brush.

Got this in the Sephora sampler and it was the last one I tried, I didn't really click with the white tube, lol. I have to say this is total HG mascara and my fave of the bunch, beats Dior and the others hands down. Why? 1. Excellent brush coats well and formula does not smear, even when I do the baby lashes in corners 2. It stays put until I wash it off!!! No raccoon eyes! I wear contacts and my eyes can get watery, with Dior and the others I would end up with black smears around my eyes. Not pretty. Korres is the only non-waterproof that stays fresh and won't move! 3. It does not flake off either. It's a nice day look, just enough volume and lengthening. 4. It has natural ingredients and no parabens. You need to try this mascara, very impressive.

My Lashes look beautiful after using this mascara. They are long and defined but still somehow look like it could be natural. The color is a dark black and I love the fact that the product is a natural product. I got this in the Sephora sampler and didn't expect much but it is my favorite out of the collection hands down. It is not for a very dramatic and fake look, but that's okay on most days. I love it.

This is just an average mascara. It lengthens but does nothing for volume. My eyelashes just stick straight out and are actually a little stiff. Also, I got the navy one and was disappointed in the color or lack thereof. My eyelashes are pretty dark so maybe I shouldn't have expected much color showing up but I had thought my eyes would pop at least a little bit! Unfortunately, my eyelashes just looked like they had a black mascara on....not even a great mascara at that!


I have been searching and searching for a great but subtle colored mascara to no avail and I was really hoping I would like this one; this is not the case. It is too expensive for what you get plus my tube cracked along the top.

It's a nice mascara. I would wear this only during daytime as it doesn't create a dramatic nightly look. I find it hard to take off at night.

not bad at all! if natural and defined is what you're going for, this is perfect! The formula is gentle, and i noticed my lashes weren't falling out when I was using this. The reason, however, why I am not using this anymore is because it completely dried out after 2 weeks. And, even though I love natural looking lashes, I have fine lashes so I need a bit more for my lashes.

This is a great mascara. I am trying to transition as many things as possible to more natural cosmetics. I was a little pessimistic about natural mascara, since I have a problem with mascara smudging on my brow bones as the day goes on. The Korres mascara is fabulous. I've been wearing it all day and it still looks great. I even went outside at lunchtime to 95% humidty and it didn't even smudge. This is definitely my new HG mascara! At $18 the price is a little steep, but i'm willing to pay more for natural cosmetics, especially knowing they aren't tested on animals.

I got this in Sephora's mascara sampler, and this is the first one I tried. I love the more natural ingredients, and I agree with the previous reviewer that it's great for a fresh face day when you don't want to look like you're wearing makeup. It did a nice job darkening my lashes, and did a better job with volume than the awful Revlon formula I've been using. My lashes don't feel dry, and it washed off easily without leaving a mess under my eyes. Still, if you want a fringe of lush, dramatic lashes, this isn't your tube. I might buy this one again, but I'm betting I fall in love with one of the other tubes in the sampler kit before then.
**EDIT** After using the tube for about a week, I noticed that the mascara was gooping up the wand. It doesn't seem to be doing as nice a job on my lashes as when I first tried it. If I had purchased it on its own instead of part of a kit, I'd return it.
