I am very happy with this mascara. I went in to buy Lash Architect because it had a good recommendation from Paula B. but I started looking at the other kinds and decided this best described what I was looking for. I just wanted something that would go on fairly dry with no clumping and would have a nice natural look, not chunky. This is water resistant, not waterproof, so it comes off a little easier. definitely makes lashes feathery and doesn't clump, as promised. My new favorite mascara.

I just bought this yesterday, as I think they're discontinuing my current mascara (why do companies always discontinue the mascara that I like? Ugh!) and I'm pleasantly surprised! I like the way that this goes on and how it's made my lashes look! I've naturally long and fairly thick lashes, but they don't hold a curl too well, for some reason. Anyway, I'll definitely repurchase this again. I've worn this twice and let me tell you, it makes my eyes look fantastic and it has staying power, without flaking or making my lashes feel dry or brittle. This emphasizes the natural length to my lashes!

ETA: The more than I use this, the more that I like it! It holds the curl in my 'lashes and doesn't flake or look "drab," even 15+ hours.

Not too shabby a product, but doesn't stand out like Maybelline's Volum' Express or Max Factor's 2000 Calorie. Does add some thickness and lenghth and doesn't weigh my fine lashes down; overall a pretty good mascara and lasts thru water immersion as well!

Nice product, minimum clumps, holds the curl. Does what the name suggest, it keeps the lashes soft even it's waterproof. It DOES smudge after a while, but a good mascara primer will prevent that. So, I will buy again.

This was my first mascara and i must say it scared me off from mascaras for a while. It takes ages to dry and doesn't really lengthen or curl or volumize. the only plus side was that it didn't really smudge but the downside was it was a pain to remove. won't ever repurchase. also i think it's been discontinued in Canada since i don't see it around since last year.

I love this mascara. I have long, thick, dark lashes to begin with and this made them a little longer with no clumping. It gave a very natural look that's great for everyday wear. If you're looking for something dramatic you'll probably want to try something else.

I am a die-hard L'Oreal mascara fan. I have loved each and every one of them... when they finally come out w/a waterproof version. My lashes won't hold a curl w/regular formulas. I went back to Featherlash WP because I needed an everyday mascara (I normally use Double Extend for hoochie mama days when I want showgirl-look-at-me lashes), and it was 2 for 1 at CVS. What's better than a bargain on a great product? NOTHING! I use this every day and it looks great, natural, and I don't notice flakes unless I am very tired and forget and rub my eye. I wear contacts and mascaras are a huge problem. When I was a contact lens tech, I recommended L'Oreal mascaras to each girl I trained. It removes easily with Neutrogena's Non-Oily Eye Makeup remover or Clinique's Take The Day Off. As for transferring to cream-based concealers below the eye, try powder over the area first. I've never had that problem.

Wasn't waterproof. It smudged. Must not use undereye concealer in cream format without using powder over it or it will come onto area making you look like you have a black eye.

The only drugstore brand mascara that holds the curl on my skimpy Asian lashes. I first use the Shiseido eyelash curler and then follow up with Featherlash waterproof. I think the key to holding the curl is getting a mascara with a waterproof formula. I also use Shu Uemura's Basic Mascara in black. But dollar for dollar, Featherlash is a great deal if you want the curl to hold.

It's a nice mascara to pick up from a drugstore while waiting for your prescription to fill out, but I would not even consider repurchasing. Although in the begining, I thought it was the best thing to happen to my eyes since the invention of contacts, the waterproof formula refused to budge from my eyelashes often coming back to haunt me with raccoon eyes every morning. Also, it left little smudgies on my upper eye lid while applying, leaving me in remorse because I had already applied eyeshadow and if I wiped off the smudge my eyeshadow will no doubt come off with it. The silver and gold packaging was nice though. It faux fanciness appeal made me forget this mediocre mascara was not of department store origin.

This is a good mascara for a subtle look. The results are very natural looking and not too much for a typical day. Nice slight curve to the applicator. Long lasting and stays on even while swimming. Removes easily with some makeup remover.

I really love this mascara. I'm a die hard Voluminous fan but this stuff is more natural - it separates the lashes really well so you don't get that yucky clumpy look, and lengthens and holds curl beautifully. You end up with a very flirtatious delicate Bambi-look. Haven't tried the non-waterproof yet. Only criticisim so far is it is not easy to get off - I needed to use Vaseline to remove it as my usual cleansing cream and foam washes didn't do the job. The plus side of this is that I found my mascara stayed on throughout a full day at the beach, including two dips in the sea being smacked in the face by huge Atlantic waves. Rave.

I found this mascara to be on the thin side, so it's not that great for plumping up lashes. I did like it, but I prefer lash out or voluminious.

Good product. More water resistant than waterproof but it washes out easily & leaves lashes soft. The brush makes it easy to give lashes a natural looking lift.

Actually, I really like this stuff; I didn't when it first came out, but then again I used the non-waterproof formula. I used this first before I curled with the lash curler and am pleasantly surprised, my lashes are curled and standing at attention; a real triumph for me!!!! Don't know if it will dry out like the other two reviewers stated, but will update. So far, so good!!!!!! ***UPDATE*** No, it doesn't dry out like some of the other reviewers stated, is still great after nearly six months of sitting in my cosmetic cabinet.

I really like this mascara. After using lash out for years, this is a nice change. It leaves your lashes soft and full, they won't feel brittle not matter how much you put on. Some reviewers felt it was much to natural looking, but if you use two coats without letting it dry your lashes will look fantastic. Does not straighten curled lashes and does not irritate eyes. Love it!

If you want to replace your mascara on a weekly basis because it is dried out then this is the mascara for you. This stuff is awful. I generally am quite pleased with L'Oreal mascaras and I LOVE the featherlash in the non waterproof formula, but the waterproof one is truly terrible. It dries left me with dried out clumpy messy lashes after only a few uses.
