Over all a good mascara. Looks natural, but definitely make the lashes look longer and fluffier.

I did not like this the first time I used it. I thought it just put on such a sheer coat and did not lenghten. I tried it again, and I went back and put a second coat on after finishing both eyes and it made such a difference. I have never been able to do that without all my lashes sticking together like spider legs. I have not so thick lashes and not so long lashes, and while I think this lengthens about as much as I have ever gotten with any other mascara, I like that it thickens them up without clumping. I do have to brush on about 10 strokes per eye to begin with, but that is what it takes no matter what mascara I use. If I have ever had a really thick mascara it clumps up unless I wipe almost all of it off in the container first. I don't have to do it with this, and it does not have fibers or tubes that come off to irritate my eyes like lash stiletto. If you have thick lashes to begin with it may not work as well, Maybe its just better on thin lashes and that's why some of the reviews haven't been as good.

I have yet to try a Revlon mascara that I liked and this one fell right into the category or Revlon epic fail mascaras for me. It did nothing positive for my lashes, but leave them stumpy, clumpy, drooping, and to add further insult flaked all day long. Seriously embarrassing and I even had a co-worker ask me what mascara I was using as she wanted to ensure she never purchased it. I have thrown this in the trash and if I could rate it zero I would.

At first I read all the negative reviews, so after my first application I thought I would throw it out, it was clumpy and the wand seemed cheap. However, I love it now! It reminds me of covergirl's lashblast (my HG). All you have to do is wipe a little excess mascara into the tub, but it gets all your lashes and even the tiny eyelashes in the corner of your eyes. It also does not give me spidery eyes, they look very thick and the formula doesn't flake (unlike the loreal mascara) and there's no scent like maybelline's mascara. Overall, I love it and will definitely repurchase !!!!!

I have become unbelievably picky with my choices of mascara through the last couple years. And I've been searching my HG mascara, beginning to lose hope. But then I saw Revlon's newest mascara, this 3D photoready whatever stuff, and the brush looked pretty good, so I went for it. And I'm so glad I did, because this stuff is amazing! I curl my lashes before applying it, and my lashes look super long, and very bold. Initially, I was hesitant with this. The brush resembled one similar of a Buxom mascara I recently had thrown away I hated it so much, and I also tend to avoid mascaras that have the word 'volume' in the title because I prefer long fluttery lashes (as opposed to thick, tar-like, clumpy, wet looking lashes!) But no, this stuff is just the right combination of bold, voluminous, and long! I've used this for a good three weeks but I'm sure I'll be repurchasing once it's time. I really do think I've found my HG mascara! And horrah for me that it's an affordable one at that ;)

This is a very dark black/blackest black color. It is a slightly wet mascara. Maybelline Falsies being most wet at a 5 to Maybelline Full N Soft being least wet as a 1, this is a 3. I use it to layer over my Maybelline Full N Soft because even though my Maybelline Full N Soft says Very Black, it's really just a blackened brown which is not nearly enough black for me. While Full N Soft provides a clump-free, fanned out, slightly thickened and lengthened base, Revlon Photoready 3D Volume is used as a couple of overcoats. It lengthens to near-eyebrow length, is minimally clumping (I always wipe the brush on the tube just so I have more control but it's not really clumpy either way), and its color does not fade to a grey-black.

I alternate between this and Maybelline Falsies as my overcoats because both work well for me, but I think the Revlon is an easier, less likely to "change" formula because it doesn't go from ridiculously wet and clumpy to manageable like my Falsies. It just stays manageable from newly opened to the 2 months I've had it so far.

My one major complaint is that it flakes on me a little because I build it up so much to a really long length. My Falsies flakes a little too but this will be absolutely fine with a lash primer (however I only use lash primer on special occasions). Even so these flakes are really negligible and it is going to be a staple mascara from now on.

My one minor complaint is that the tube is obese. Seriously. Nobody needs a tube this fat. I don't even have small hands but this is a lot of extra plastic for a mascara tube.

I really hoped I would like this mascara, as I have been searching for my HG mascara since forever. It does an OK job, but it was nothing spectacular. I guess I'll keep searching. :-(

I have to say, for the price it is overall a good mascara.. finally. The packaging is elegant and comfortoable. I love the brush and have no issues with flaking etc. One coat is good and with two you can get very dramatic lashes. Although, I must say I have pretty good lashes to start so not sure for others with fine/thin lashes.

This is a nice mascara if you are looking for length and definition without any clumping. I will personally stick to my HG CoverGirl Lash Blast but this was nice to try. The reason I would not repurchase is simply because for me the bristles were too long so I couldn't get right into the base of my lashes where I like to build from. This mascara gives a more natural yet still glam look.

i haven't liked a Revlon mascara in many years.. this has become one of my new favorite mascaras. it allows me to layer. i have pathetic straight lashes, and one coat of any mascara won't do anything.. i curl, apply one coat, then a few seconds later i add another.. i don't let it dry to long between coats, because it will flake. the only downside, is that it will run, if water touches it. i mean boy does it run.. i have allergies, and sneezed a few times.. my watery eyes made it melt right away..

I really love this mascara for the reason that it gives me volume and length, BUT it smudges of after 2-3 hours, it does remove easily but I wish it would just last longer, other than that I love it! The very first time you apply it, it doesn't give you volume but after the 2nd time for some reason it works best!

I think this product is pretty good. I got it in blackest black. It is a shiny, glossy black which I love. It doesn't flake but don't rub your eyes, it comes right off LOL.

i had never before heard of this product when i found a coupon for it. i'm so glad i bought it because it compares to "they're real" by Benefit. it allows you to make your lashes as dramatic as you want with no clumping or lashes sticking together. needless to say i recommend this product to anyone. i believe i payed around 6 dollars with the coupon. so without the coupon it would be around 7-8 dollars. for such an amazing mascara i wouldn't mind spending that.

This mascara was pretty disappointing! Here is what this product did or did not do, for that matter, for me....had to work hard to build multiple coats (dried quickly). This formula flaked and settled under my eyes causing me to resemble someone with 2 shiners under her eyes! I would not recommend this mascara even though some Youtube beauty reviewers were excited about it, it failed my test of a long wearing dependable product.

ughhhh i love this product so much it pains me to have to give it a lower rating!! First, the packaging. It's awesome! It looks super high end, although it is a tad bulky. This mascara made my lashes absolutely beautiful, separated, long, and fuller looking. the brush was to die for since it reached every lash and defined them.
But.....

UGH THE SMUDGING!!!! this mascara does not last more than an hour or 2 before there are black smudges in the corners of my eyes and underneath. it's so upsetting =[ I've never been so distraught over a makeup product before haha

This mascara was absolutely perfect, but I cannot have black smudges under my eyes. Maybe if they come out with a long wearing/waterproof version I will give it another shot...

I saw this new Revlon mascara and decided to take a chance that it would actually do what it said: "Lashes look magnified and multiplied."
Instead I got myself another useless product to use once in a while with others, layered. I used only two coats, and it seemed to go on nicely and made the lashes visible. I thought that maybe I had a winner here - visible with only two coats. It did not do well on the lower lashes though, a gob had to be removed with a small sponge and some effort. Still, I thought it looked okay, and I went out. Three hours later I look in the magnifying mirror, and it is flaking off; the lashes are bent and twiglike in appearance. I don't really get how they dare to market these things the way they do. But I am a sucker for promises. I learned my lesson. Do the research and do not buy something that is new just because it is new.

Update, May 3, 2012.

I tried it again, 3 coats, and within one hour it had flaked off onto the skin below my eyes. Several black flecks. Again I must say this is one of the worst products I ever got from Revlon. I like their Photoready foundation, and their current line of lipsticks are good, but they somehow have forgotten how to make mascara.

I've used this for about 2 weeks, and think it is pretty average. It does a decent job of separating, but doesn't do all that much for volume or length. It is a nice black color, not too dark, but does a good job of darkening lashes. I know this isn't the most comprehensive review - I usually find myself being really pro-, or anti-something. Since I'm so in the middle on this one, I don't have a lot of constructive things to say other than I find it completely average and would not purchase again!

I need a miracle on my pathetic short straight lashes and since this was on sale for $5.99 @ CVS, I gave it a go. It does a great job at lengthening but it weighs down my lashes. I usually purchase waterproof formula but I'm not sure if this is not working for me since it's not waterproof. I started using on top of my waterproof Maybelline FnS, it's been working ok.

Okay, had to edit as this has been a let down after using it a bit more. It started to irritate my eyes. ( My new HG is jordana's new extreme mascara. OMG! Check out the reviews on that one! And only $2.99)
At first I wasn't especially thrilled with this new revlon mascara but I'm really liking after using it a few times. The rubber brush does a good job of separating and lengthening my lashes and holds a curl well. The thing I like best about this is that it's very easy to remove (unlike Maybelline's new " Illegal lengths") with just a swipe of my facial wipe...and I wear 3 coats. This mascara is not too wet or dry but just right. It also lasts all day with no smearing or flaking. All in all it's a pretty good mascara. May up the lippie if it continues to perform well over the next few weeks. Definitely worth a try, especially now when it's on sale practically everywhere.
