Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara Review Summary

Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara gives some of our reviewers Hollywood type lashes that never flake or smudge. Other reviewers don't see what the hoopla is about Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara. This mascara is one of three formulas that Mary Kay sells and is its most dramatic. Our beauty divas are decidedly split on the performance of this mascara but those who like it, LOVE it and call it the best mascara ever. Others say it is sticky and hard to remove. As with everything, this one comes down to personal preference. Looking for more Mary Kay product reviews? We have loads of them for you to read and compare.

Ok this is by far the best mascara I have ever used... in fact, I never go without it.  This mascara has a patented "one swipe system" so when you pull the brush out there is enough on there for both eyes.  There is no need to pump or reinsert the brush and add germs.  It lengthens and thinkens for... review »

I love Mary Kay, but the Ultimate Mascara, I confess, seems no different to me than any other mascara, and is hardly worth the $15 price tag. It seems to dry up rather quickly in the bottle and weighs my lashes down a bit whenever I wear it. I really recommend sticking to the basics on this one, or at... review »

I had never found a mascara that didn't smudge under my eyes until now. I was amazed... this mascara stays where you put it all day, even in the hot, humid midwestern summer. No more raccoon eyes! This stuff gives my lashes the right amount of oomph without looking overdone and tacky. It lengthens and thickens lashes without clumping or flaking. I personally have no trouble removing it with foaming facial cleanser and water, and my dimestore eye makeup remover works just fine on it as well. The $15 price tag is definitely justified, in my opinion!

I personally love the Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara!  Mary Kay has 3 different formulas for people who like different mascara types, like lash lengthening, and waterproof.  Which have completely different formulas in them.  If you want the cutting edge HOLLYWOOD lashes use the Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara.  It is awesome.  I also love the Mary Kay 100% satisfaction guarantee, If I dont like it, I can trade for a different color or get my money back.

Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara

Mascara, mascara! I can do with so little make up but I do like mascara and lip gloss.

My lashes: 

The great news is that my lashes are REALLY long.  The bad news is that the ends are so blond that they are barely visible.  A swipe of mascara to color those ends is all I need.  I could Tammy Faye Baker lashes in an instant if I went to far with mascara.

The Catch 22 with Mascara:

The catch 22 with mascara is that we want it to stay on all day, not smear and smudge and leave us with raccoon eyes and yet we want it to come off right away and easily when the party's...

I can not live without my Mary Kay ultimate mascara, which currently retails for $15.  Yes, I used to be a Mary Kay consultant, but not anymore.  It was not for me, luckily I was not one of the ladies that bought $1000's worth of product in the beginning.  Now I buy my mascara from a consultant that gives me 40% off or you can find it for a great deal on ebay.  Active Mary Kay consultant's are not supposed to sell their products on ebay or any sort of internet outlet, they are supposed to use the website that is purchased by them through the company.

Anyways, more onto the specific mascara...

I love this fairly new mascara- I know it sounds expensive at $15, but it lasts forever and really makes a big difference in your appearance with very little effort. All you need is a little lip gloss and this- and you are set!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have tried every mascara known to man espically hypoalergenic ones due to my sensitive skin and eyes. Mary Kay is the ONLY mascara I can use.

What a marvelous company! I love the entire line and I also love the ideals that the compny is based on. I would rather support a company who is giving back to women's charities like Breast Cancer and Domestic Violence-...

I have had a long, ongoing struggle to find a decent mascara for my eyes.  My eyes seem to be pretty sensitive, and cheap mascara always flakes off and gets in my eyes anyway.  Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara has been a god-send!  This mascara both thickens and lengthens my sometimes puny looking lashes.  It also keeps my lashes soft and manageable, rather than brittle and coarse!  With cheaper mascaras, it seems like my eyelashes will break off if I wear them all day, but not Mary Kay's Ultimate Mascara!  It keeps them going strong!  I could NOT ask for more!!  I am so very happy with this mascara... review »

I've used Max Factor for years due to its lash lengthening and various colors. I started Using Mary Kay black/brown over a month ago and I do like it. It lasts a long time which I need (I don't use the water proof version either).  My only issue with this brand is when I pull the wand out, there is a lot of mascara on one end and I have to reinsert to get it off so it doesn't end up all over my lashes.

 

Wish there were more variety of colors - auburn for those with lighter skin!

My sister used to sell Mary Kay and she raved about this mascara. I have long eyelashes, so I love to emphasize them and love mascara. This mascara had a sticky consistency and was extremely difficult to remove. I had to use eye makeup remover, then wash my face with my soap as usual, and then wipe the mascara residue out from under my eyse with a q-tip dipped in lotion. I hated this mascara!

I have to say, I have tried countless brands and types of mascara.  All of them have been just "okay" for the most part. That was until I found marykay's ultimate mascara!  It goes on smooth, easy and clump free. It's buildable and truly lengthens beautifully!

I have never had good luck with mascara.  (It may have a lot to do with me having dry eyes and rubbing them...) I haven't had nay trouble with this mascara coming off when rubbed.  That is also the down side - it is difficult to remove at night.

I have been searching for a decent mascara for years and a friend told me to try Mary Kay Ultimate.  It is great!  I am tired of trying over the counter mascara that is clumpy and difficult to put on.

I love Mary Kays mascara. It is the best Mascara I have used.  But when it starts to get old you will know it because it get very clumpy.  Besides that I love it.
