Most Helpful Positive Review The Best Mascara of All! Lash Discovery is truly the best & affordable mascara. I have tried so many mascaras, mostly high end with the high price tag to go with them. This mascara has a wonderful skinny brush which allows such great & easy application - it coats every lash so well, even the tiny lashes in the corners of the eyes - I've never had clumping which has been an issue with many other (mostly the expensive) brands I have tried. I am in my 50's and when I was younger I had long thick lashes. I rarely wore mascara (didn't need to)- as I have aged my lashes have thinned, are not as long, and tend to stick straight out/no curl. I use an eye lash curler pretty much every day and frequent use has also contributed to the loss of my lashes as well. Lash Discovery gives my lashes such a natural, lovely and Long look! The skinny brush doesn't seem to give a real thickness for me which is fine - I prefer to have a natural look. I simply love this mascara. It does exactly what I want and need. I have tried so many mascaras - expensive ones mainly, only to be disappointed by the usual clumping, flaking, huge brushes which do not reach corner lashes, etc. only to get tossed into the trash. I do believe that just because an item has a high price tag doesn't mean it will be the best (in many cases)- I have discovered this with other products besides mascara. I am so happy to have found the perfect mascara - It's a fabulous product and doesn't break the bank!
Most Helpful Critical Review I thought I liked it but..... I bought this and was super excited about it. The brush was awesome, it applied evenly, it made my lashes look super long, and it was super waterproof. I used it for about a week and everything was fine until... MY EYELASHES STARTED FALLING OUT. My eyelashes never fall out so I decided to stop using it for awhile. And believe it or not my eyelashes stopped falling out. Not to mention it is really hard to take off. I tried so many cleanser but nothing made it easier. I was really disappointed because it made my eyelashes look fabulous. So buy this if you really need something super waterproof. But I really don't recommend it if you want to keep your eyelashes. :(((

got this a long time ago following a YouTuber and have always used this for my lashes to separate and lengthen
would not recommend 3
Am from Missouri
This mascara was very dry and did not build up. At least, not the tube I bought. I did 4 coats and it looked like 1 thin coat.
Loved the lengthening and look BUT 3
Kaitlyn from Longmont, CO
This mascara is beautiful and did wonders for my lashes, so long and clean, no spider legs haha, but after 20 minutes of wear my eyes started to burn.. idk if this has happened to anyone else but unfortunately this didn't work for me, I wanted to love. Tho I did find that "waterproof" was true to tale, long wear even after a shower, not a smudge!
KEEPS MY LASHES UP!!!! 5
Arenae from USA
The ONLY mascara I have found that actually holds my lashes UP - I have super FLAT lashes and this mascara keeps them standing up!!!! It also does not flake and doesn't cause my lashes to stick to each other. I love the fine brush I think it makes your lashes look extremely flattering. I will continue to buy this mascara!! I love it!!!!!
Not the same as before 3
alma274 from La quinta
This mascara was my to go to back when it was $1.99 in 2011. It the only mascara I would use for my long lashes. I purchased it again recently because I remembered how much I loved it but the tube literally came empty or they changed the formula. I only used to have to apply about 2/3 coats of mascara to make my lashes pop but now I feel like it takes the whole tube to make my lashes look like they have any mascara at all. Maybe I just got a faulty one 🤷🏻♀️ but it definitely didn't compare to what it used to be.
I love this mascara. 5
Luci from Auburn, WA
This mascara is the only one that I have found to not flake on me. Love the small wand. If I use any other waterproof mascara with a bigger wand I will use this mascara on my bottom lashes.
Holds curl on Asian lashes but don't love the wand 4
Julia from Georgia
This formula is AMAZING. I have stick straight, stubborn Asian lashes that will droop within seconds of using non-waterproof mascaras. I've tried a lot of waterproof mascaras and this formula holds my curl for 8+ hours and my lashes haven't drooped AT ALL. They look exactly the same as they did when I first applied the mascara in the morning - incredible!! However, I don't like this brush/wand. I prefer a spikier brush - this one makes it hard to separate my lashes so they stick together if I'm not careful. If this had a better brush, I would pay $20 for it.
Great for crying at work 5
Hi Welcome to Chili's from Massachusetts
I've been using this mascara for years. It's the only one that dries before I have the chance to sneeze, which happens every gd time I put on mascara. The brush is much smaller/narrower than other brands, which helps get those tiny lashes on either ends of the lids, as well as lower lashes. Waterproof formula is insanely impressive, and a must for when you go to your secret crying spot at work and it isn't near quitting time yet. It's also the least clumpy formula out of all the drugstore brands I have tried—I've only found clumps when it is very old and time to replace it. I have a few mascaras at varying price points, but this one is my workhorse.
This works for me! 5
Maryann from VA
I ended up having this one during rainy/humid weather the first I used it and it held up. I think it feels and looks natural. I didn't have any problems with clumping. I also didn't have an issue with it being dry as some other comments mentioned. I liked the brush a lot.
Worthy of WAY more hype! 5
dot90 from Seattle, WA
I have fine straight lashes. I have decent length but no matter what volumizing/lengthening mascara I'd use my lashes would fall flat. Enter ..... THIS. You dont think this tiny little brush would be capable of such impact but it really is. Holds my curl, makes my lashes look longer and gives a touch of volume. The real beauty of this though is you can wear it by itself for an everyday more natural appearance OR put on your favorite mascara on top. THIS will hold your curl, your other mascara will work its magic over top. Its also waterproof but not a pain to actually remove at night, with my oil cleanser it washes right off. 10/10 I hope this never gets discontinued in the swarms of junk mascaras that get released these days.
Great 5
BrendaR from Tennessee
I have never left 5 stars for anything before. This is great. I love the thin brush. It stays on. Not clumpy. Fantastic. Ive tried much more expensive but none as good as this. Im 62.
Curly all day for STRAIGHT Asian lashes 5
Fiona C. from NC
You can't beat the price of this! I compared it with my Dior overcurl and the Maybelline one is less clumpy, less expensive, more long-lasting and more natural looking. I asked so many friends and families and some of them can't even tell I was wearing mascara!
If you have straight, stubborn Asian lashes like I do, RUN and get it because this mascara makes ur lashes bloom like sunflowers:)
Not good at all 1
kymmy6 from Nanticoke, PA
Bought this product with the hopes that it would be an affordable replacement for my It Cosmetics Tightlining Mascara. It doesn't compare. Very dry formula and the brush doesn't provide good coverage.
The brush wand allows just the right control to cover lashes 5
1stm8 from Michigan
I've tried other mascaras but I always end up cleaning up smears & clumps with them. With this product the brush wand is small and I find it so much easier to control application. It just works for me.
Great for Asian lashes! 4
Mili from Castro valley CA
This mascara is literally my go to. I do have to say tho, it gets under my eye even though it's supposed to be waterproof but most mascaras do that for me no matter what. Still love it tho!
Love it 5
Jl from Texas
As I have aged, my lashes seem harder to find and my eyes water more. I love this tiny brush, because it finds all my lashes and doesn't come off when my eyes water from dry eyes
Don't bother. 1
Al from Mi
Absolute garbage. I ordered this for my lower lashes. It is so dry I can't even get the product applied to my lashes.
Pretty good for natural look 4
clnapier from TN
Pretty good mascara for just a natural lash look. holds up pretty well to humidity.
Stubborn straight lashes 5
Jo from Los Angeles
Half my lashes are stubbornly straight, the outer half is super curled. I've tried a lot of mascaras and end up using them once because they don't keep my lashes curled. Reason I don't use mascara often. This one is light, doesn't give much volume, darkens lashes, some length, but HOLDS!
Great product for the $ 5
MommaRedd from Iowa
I have seen many tutorials of this mascara on YouTube and decided to try it out. It doesn't flake off, no irritation to your eyes and has amazing results. I have some straight eyelashes so the wand and formula help curl them. Would definitely recommend this to all!
The only mascara I will ever use 5
BarbsTreehouse from Ohio
I love this mascara! I have tried probably 200 mascaras, from the drugstore brands to the most expensive mascaras on the market, and I keep returning to Maybelline Lash Discovery. The slim brush finds every little lash, and makes my lashes look lush, curly and dark. But unlike some other mascaras this formula doesn't weigh my lashes down. I have fine, thin, straight lashes and Lash Discovery helps open up my eyes and give me long, defined lashes.
perfect for lower lashes 5
kmb from wi
love the smaller brush
I Love this mascara!! 5
Cher59 from Rio Rancho, NM
I prefer a lighter mascara and this is it, not thick, no clumping or flaking. Love the thinner brush.
Sweatproof! 5
Dory from California
This is the first mascara I've used that is truly sweat proof. It also doesn't smudge even when I'm rubbing my eyes. Not very voluminous or lengthening, but a great natural looking mascara
Awesome! 5
Km205 from Illinois
This mascara is one of the best. It's drier, and that's why I love it. Most mascaras are WAY too wet, and they make my lashes flop down after being curled, and then they dry that way. This keep the curl, and helps my light eyelashes be nice and black. I've been using it for years, and I love it. And the price is unbeatable
