Tried this mascara out this weekend on my naturally long and dark lashes and wasn't that impressed. Definitely did not look "real-fake" as you could see some clumps of the mascara. I prefer a little coconut oil on the lashes to give them some shine and make them seem longer

I got curious and bought the mini version of this a few months ago and it is without a doubt the best mascara I've ever used. Glad to see it's working for everyone else!

Like you I also get the "Are your eyelashes real?" Attached a pic and yes I've been using YSL Faux Cils mascara for years but excited to try Benefit's mascara now!

Mascara is a big subject for me as i have very specific requests :
- it has to be brown and not black : i have a very white (if not transparent) skin so black is way too heavy for me, it hardens my face too much.
- it has to be waterproof as i have very wet eyes (yes yes) : i'd look like marylin manson in two seconds. and even with waterproof mascaras it still smudges (crazy yes).
- i have very short, thin and not-curled-at-all eyelashes, so my mascara has to be volumizing AND lengthening.

Litte say that i don't have many choices on the market :
- DIORSHOW waterproof mascara in brown : absolutely amazing on the volume, length and color but has a very big flaw as it decomposes in very little points all around your eyes. i got fed up.
- YSL Fake lashes effect waterproof : less spectacular than the dior one but it stands perfectly well.
And...that's it!

You're so lucky Alessandra! Big kisses from a Paris

I am using a Clinique one and I am so satisfied but something new never hurt anyone!

this doesn't work so well for me...nor do any of the high-end ones to the same extent as the classic maybelline volum. gives amazing volume and length and works better for me than all of the favs including this, diorshow, lancome hypnose star, lancome doll lashes, clinique high impact, etc...i guess i'm glad that something cheaper works best for me!

I've been using this since its London pre-launch launch, and it is the first mascara I have tried that I am 100% happy with and I recommend it to everyone. Best. Mascara. Ever.

Love the photo. I've been meaning to try this, now I will. What do you use to remove?

Looking forward to your eyeliner story.
