Most Helpful Positive Review boya! Thank you so much covergirl for this product.I have tried this in reg and water proof and I think this if te best of all because I can cry my eye's out,I can go outside when it's raining,I can even swim with this on and it doesn't move a bit!
Most Helpful Critical Review not what you think This product just clumps your lashes together in a goopy mess! I had to use other ways of separating them.The brush is WAY to big and I can't get to the base of my lashes or use the end of the brush for the corners of my lashes. I wont buy it again.
Reviewed by 8926 customers It does the job BUT… 4
Destiny from San Antonio, TX
(And I mean BUT) You NEED to let this product dry out a little before applying, especially when it's brand new. It WILL weigh down your lashes if you have straight thick lashes like mine, even with a curler. MOST IMPORTANTLY, be aware this mascara once on will take 4 score and 7 years to remove; please take your time removing this and don't yank it off.
Old Faithful 5
Goldi from In the Desert, New Mexico
Time and time again I always return to this mascara. I don't understand the bad reviews. I apply two coats, use a eyelash brush to spread out any uneven product, I use the eyelash curler before the 1st and then again after the 2nd coat is dry. It doesn't take long to dry. It doesn't clump. Gives my lashes fullness, length and definition. Lasts all day, doesn't irritate my eyes. Every time I try a different mascara that is getting raved about I hate it. I'm not into wearing fake eyelashes and this mascara gives me a big bold enough look that I don't feel the need to.
Great for sensitive eyea 5
Brit from MS, US
I decided to try this after searching for a hypoallergenic waterproof mascara. This is the first mascara that doesn't irritate my eyes AT ALL! All I need is for my mascara to hold my lash curl and tint my lashes black, which this does. The formula is pretty thin so it's not clumpy either.
Hated it 1
M from Dallas TX
Literally hated this so much. I have washed my face 5 times, used an oil cleanser and it's still not off of my lashes. It's so clumpy and gooey when you apply it and then it dries all clumpy and did nothing for my lashes except dry them out. Not repurchasing.
It's okay 2
kc from Chicago
It held my curl SO WELL, but it's an incredibly wet formula, so it was hard to use for the first half of the tube. Once it dried up a bit, it was amazing! I would not repurchase though because I don't have time to wait for wet formulas to dry up.
NOT Waterproof 1
Georgia Mom from Marietta, GA
I live in the hot, humid South and need a mascara that won't run, so I purchased this for the first time hoping it would fit the bill. Within 5 minutes after application, the mascara started running. It was a hot day, so I thought maybe it just hadn't dried yet. Before I left the house, I checked in the mirror and there they were - raccoon eyes. Ugh.
Disappointed 1
FG from NY
I usually love cover girl mascaras, but for me this is not it. Hate the brush, the formula is so watery that it gets everywhere and it did nothing for my lashes.
ok for eyelashes butreally great for eyebrow tint/hold 3
izzy from ny
So my initial intent when purchasing this was obviously for eyelash purposes. Its good for people who want a VERY soft definition to their lashes. Great for a true no makeup look. it will very little volume and no length. the waterproof version is seriously waterproof and will be very difficult to take off. overall I thought this mascara was okay hence the rating.
BUT recently I took a risk and tried it as an eyebrow tint and it is actually fantastic. As a eyebrow product it is totally 5 star worthy. I would suggest the dark brown shade if you have dark brown hair like myself. The consistency is perfect. It actually does an incredible job at tinting/ coating your eyebrow hairs. Because its the waterproof version, it holds the color and hairs in place very well. If cover girl made this exact formula in other eyebrow tint shades it would be flying off the shelves.

It's all about the brush, picks up tiny lashes.

Excellent 5
Wendy from Compton
The only mascara I've been using after curling my eyelashes for more of a lift & pump affect for any occasions
Terrible brush. Watery formula 1
Trying all the mascara from Matawan, NJ
The brush is terrible. No matter how I tried or what I did I got more on my skin than on my lashes. And the formula took forever to dry, thus getting more on my skin. Really disappointed.
No no no...sorry 🙁 2
Pabd from Bettendorf Iowa
I tried both the regular and waterproof formulas and didn't see a difference. A lot of the reviews are right on- horrible brush that bends and is hard to hold, clumpy , did nothing for my lashes and gave me raccoons...even the waterproof. I wouldn't buy again. I guess if you have really long thick lashes and all the time in the world it MIGHT be better, but I need to see proof. Would not recommend or buy again
ONE OF THE WORST MASCARAS I HAVE EVER TRIED 1
zodiac sign from Minnesota
i'm shocked how this mascara has such good reviews! the brush is probably my least favorite thing about this mascara. it's so spiky, and it irritates my lash line. the formula is also horrendous. super drying, and after it dries, it flakes HORRIBLY! STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS!
Not a fan of the wand 3
katiekates66 from Iowa
I think the formula is nice - I just don't like the wand; I think it's too bulky. Especially for the lower lashes.
It would be the perfect mascara for me if they just slimmed down the wand a bit!
FLAKES 1
Mrs. See from Atlanta, GA
I really like that this goes on pretty thin and smooth. I do not like the clumpy or thick goopy mascara. I like how it just defines and darkens my natural lashes. BUT, within a couple of hours it is all under my eyes.
Allergy Season in Texas 5
Skitty from Texas
This is great for all seasons but with allergy season it's a must and I'm a jeep girl this is my go to mascara!!!
Does nothing for lashes 1
sky from CT
Literally who said this was a good mascara? It does absolutely nothing for your lashes. No lift, no volume. Nothing. It just sits right on top of them. I used the Covergirl primer bc it's one of my drugstore faves, but the mascara is horrid. I have my die hard favorite mascaras like Lash Sensational and Telescopic, but I knew from the first swipe that this wasn't good at all.
The BEST 5
Sunaina from Cali
I have naturally long lashes and when I use this it makes it look like I'm wearing falsies. Never clumpy!! Never stop making this😩😩
Not good 1
Liv from Rochester
I have very long eyelashes naturally so I bought this to give me a bit more volume. It ripped my eyelashes out when I tried to take it off and I had to add castor oil to make them the length they were before this mascara. Definitely wouldn't recommend
I've Been Buying This Mascara for Years 5
Michele from Las Vegas, NV
I use this mascara as the first coat on my upper lashes. I use the same brand's waterproof product as my second upper coat and on my lower lashes as the only coat. My lashes never smudge.
No, just no 2
Audi from Chicago IL
When you put this on, I gives out so so much product, so it gets caked on my lashes. And it's so dang hard to get off, even when it's still wet. And when it's dry, it still smears everywhere, yet when I go to wipe it off, it won't come off. Like what?
Unbelievably Bad 1
Mr Little Jeans from CO
I can't believe this mascara is still on the market. I picked it up at the grocery store on a whim and it's been a disaster ever since. First, it deposits SO MUCH product. I tried shining my phone's flashlight into the component to see if it's missing the little stopper because there's no way that amount of product is intentional. I scrape off the wand onto the rim and the drag it through a piece of toilet paper twice to make it useable. Then, even after that, it still gets product all over my eyelids. And it transfers underneath my eyes all day long even without having runny eyes, allergies, crying, etc. If you don't wipe off your wand (like I didn't the first time), it deposits so much product that you'll have about four clumped together eyelashes. You won't be able to remove it at the end of the day, either. I used an oil based makeup remover and the volume of product caked to my lashes was simply too much. I had to pick it off with my fingers. I rarely leave reviews and I rarely throw away products because I'm extremely cheap and can usually make something work, even if I don't love it, but this is going in the trash. There's absolutely NOTHING good about this product. Please buy any other product or no product at all. You will look so much better.
My go to 5
Violin mom from Ms
It always separates my lashes perfectly. If I buy a mascara that is too clumpy this one always fixes that.
Decent 4
makeup enthusiast from CA
It volumizes without getting clumpy. It doesn't smudge, but it does flake a tiny bit which isn't a deal breaker for me.
