Maybelline New York Lash Discovery Mini-Brush Waterproof Mascara, Very Black, 0.16 fl. oz.

I have been purchasing this product for many years now... it is perfect to use to apply mascara to bottom lashes! This product is a great value for the money, made of great quality, easy to use and waterproof. I highly recommend this product AND this brand!!

I’m in my 70s. I don’t need or want 10 times the volume or length in a mascara. I just want my lashes to look nice in their natural state. I love this skinny brush applicator. It’s easy to use and gets every lash. Even the tiny lashes in the corners. It’s definitely waterproof. Maybe a bit hard to get it off. But this is a great mascara for my needs.

I like the product. I don't like that there's not very much product in the tube. It didn't last long before I had to repurchase a new one. ;BUT THE QUALITY OF THE MASCARA IS DEFINITELY GOOD. It gets those fine little lashes and separates them well. I say it's worth the purchase even if there's not alot of product in the tube. I'll buy it again. I only use it along with the other maybelline illegal lengths mascara which happens to have a fair amount of product and is the best mascara I've ever used. Illegal Lengths is better than department store mascara that costs $40.00. Its Lengthening , adds a little extension to your lashes but keeps it natural looking. You should definitely try the Ilegal Length version by Maybelline because it's the best. Not clumpy lasts a good duration and it's well combined with this product under review.

I wear contacts. I swim. I sweat. I wear greasy/oily sunscreens. My lashes have blonde tips.I feel absolutely feel naked without mascara. However, my lifestyle is not compatible with it. This is one of the most truly waterproof mascaras on the market. Absolutely most comfortable with contacts. I've tried them all. It's also fairly easy to remove with micellar water.Is it the most dramatic? Not entirely. But it's a lot more dramatic than you'd expect. It's amazing with curled lashes. The formula seems to hold the curl well, and doesn't weigh the lashes down. Zero clumping. The brush really does help get every single lash. The overall effect is a very bright, wide eye sort of lash. Very natural looking.... and I don't mean natural as in "doesn't do anything" but more like... doesn't look overly made up. It's fantastic for an everyday look, especially if you need long wearing. It's the best for lower lashes, and sometimes when I use a more intense mascara on my upper lashes, I still use this on the lower lashes.It's truly a uniquely amazing mascara.

...why I stopped using it in the first place. This was my first regular brand - like the one I ALWAYS used. It has been around for a LONG time, and I tried it as a newbie to makeup since the wand/spoolie is thin and having blonde lashes, I have to get all the way to the base and the ends of my lashes. It gave me the muscle memory for that, but I outgrew the need for the skinny wand.This is why I didn't rate it lower: for someone new to wearing makeup, who has the time to take their time, it is a valuable product and tool. That just isn't me anymore. I need to be quick about putting on my makeup and I can do that with a wand of any size, now that I know what I'm doing and have learned the power of makeup remover and a cotton swab. The problem lies in how quickly it builds, and that's not very quickly at all. It takes several passes and lots of strokes at different angles in order to get every lash. I can get it to where I want it, EVENTUALLY, but I don't put on makeup because it's fun; I do it because I'm insecure about having lashes and brows that are blonde (just being honest, here).So, I continue my quest for the perfect mascara, and the $6 lesson was: don't look back.

My favorite maybelline mascara. My go to.Finds every little lash.

I have short, straight Asian lashes and this currently is my go-to for the following reasons:1. It does not clump. The thinner wand and the shorter bristles make this mascara great for lengthening your lashes, giving you the perfect eye-popping effect that still looks natural and clean.2. It retains your curl pretty well for how easy it is to wash off. Of all the waterproof mascaras I’ve tried, this is one of the easier ones to wash off (you still need to use an oil-based cleanser/makeup remover). However, I generally find that the easier it is to wash off, the less lifted/curled your lashes will stay. This is still somewhat true for this mascara, but you could say the correlation is not as prominent. The curl falls to a small degree, and in my opinion, my lashes still look very lifted as you can see in the picture, even after the lashes settle.3. It doesn’t smudge much, if at all. Just try to keep the mascara on your lashes and not your skin when you’re applying.Overall, highly recommend!

I really wanted to love this, and it is good, but it’s not great. My hope was that the thinner brush would cut down on clumping, and perhaps make it easier to apply to lash ends.
