The Winner!
I haven’t worn mascara in over a year because I just got tired of it flaking, irritating my eyes, globbing two or more lashes together, etc. My lashes are not full but they are long, so mostly I just wanted color, dark gray if possible. Couldn’t find gray, or color only and am too shaky to try dye. So last week, I ordered 6 different brands of black mascara, all at very low cost.<br />I’ve tried them all now, with one coat, with two coats, with remover pads and oil based remover, sleeping overnight without removing, wearing during swim aerobics, wearing all day working in the yard.<br />Some made my lashes clump, some made my lashes stiff, hard, some heavily coated, most flaked off during the day, some smeared during my swim aerobics, some itched, some irritated, some were difficult to apply without getting on my skin, some were difficult to get completely off.<br />The only one that met my needs was QJC Waterproof Mascara.<br />It was the last to arrive and I was really frustrated by that time with the five others I’d already tried, so I wasn’t very hopeful. But I was happily surprised!<br />It went on smoothly without clumping. The applicator is dense and just as fat as others, but I easily avoided marking my skin. It lasted throughout a busy day of swim aerobics, grocery shopping, working in the yard without flaking or smudging. My lashes remained soft throughout the day. I left it on overnight and had no flakes or smudges! And my lashes still felt soft and natural looking. It came off easily with eye makeup remover pads on one eye, and oil based liquid on the other. I ran a makeup cleansing cloth over my eyes after I’d cleaned my eyelashes and there was no trace of mascara. Although I did not try to lengthen my eyelashes, it did so without trying. Other reviews have noted it’s lengthening capability.<br />I’m very pleased with this one. I won’t have to purchase again for a while because it’s a pack of two and very inexpensive!
