Some of our reviewers agree that Maybelline Great Lash Curved Brush Washable Mascara is amazing and others just don't see the reason for all the fuss. Klaknra says, "I love the great lash mascara because it does darken and at times lengthens and the waterproof really does stay on quite nicely.Still, at just a few bucks at any drugstore, it's worth a shot. This may work fantastically for you like it does for many of our reviewers! Dolphinwmn says, "The curved brush works for me to give my lashes a little extra lift and length."

I am a huge mascara fan and this mascara works pretty well. But theres a problem that I consistently seam to have, clumps. The more mascara the more clumpage, but not with this mascara. Seeing that it has a curved brush, it distributes enough mascara to each lash without all the clumps leaving you with... review »

Quick View: Everyone raves about Maybelline's Great Lash Mascara so, when I saw this on sale, I bought it. I don't know if it is different from the original because it has a curved brush but this one is below average.

This mascara is always rated highly in magazines and product surveys. I find it to be a very clumpy mascara that makes my lashes stick together and it smudges quickly. I like to look like I am not wearing make up but this product makes it too obvious. The price is fair but the product is not.

I tried. I read the magazines, listened to my buddies and bought this cheap mascara more than I can count, and tried to like it. No way. The best it does is add a little color, but no curl, no real sense of lengthening. And this is on all the forms of Great Lash. How it became the best-seller is beyond me. I suppose if you want a very natural look it's sufficient, but my lashes are clear at the tips and don't have a lot of curl. The mascara didn't give me a lot of definition and did not coat very well. For what I paid trying out Great Lash I might as well have gone to Estee Lauder and bought me...

I got married on August 11 of this year, and we all know what that means!! Tears of joy and sentiment and just all around MUSH for the entire day!! Well, this mascara lasted longer than I did. Yes, it was a little clumpy, but I just got out an old, cleaned up mascara brush and de-clumped myself. After that, it looked perfect. After crying and laughing all day, the mascara was still on my eyelashes, not all over everyone else. Pretty easy to wash off, too. I don't use it every day, it is a little drying on the lashes, but for those days that you know you're going to be extra sappy, I think this... review »

I have tried almost every mascara on the market in the search for the perfect one. Maybelline Great Lash Curved Brush Velvet is not the one. It really does not seem to be that different from a hunded others on the market. I found it to go on much too thick and sticky which made my lashes look clumpy and fake. I had to brush it out for quite a while to make my lashes look normal. As far as curling my lashes, that was absolutely false. Stick to the eyelash curler girls (and guys). The only way I could use this product was to first wipe most of it off the wand. I would not reccomend this to anyone....

I love the great lash mascara because it does darken and at times lengthens and the waterproof really does stay on quite nicely.  However I have found that contrary to advertising statements it does tend to clump and not separate as well as advertised.  I find it hard to believe that actors wear it as much as is reported.  of course most of them are false lashes I am sure.  I have yet to find a mascara that truly satisfies me and this is one that really does not very much, yet it is better than a lot of others I have tried

This is one of the most disgusting products I have ever put on my face.  It was recommended to me by a friend who swears up and down by discount cosmetics.  I gave her the benefit of the doubt and was highly displeased.  It clumped the moment the brush came out of the tube, it was the consistency of concealer and it dried out on the brush WAY to quickly.  If you're looking for a cheap mascara that destroys your lashes, this is the one for you.

I did not like this mascara. The brush was short for my long lashes and it was hard to use.  I also felt that it was hard to apply because it kept making my lashes stick together and clump I had to keep using my fingers to "unclump" and a lash brush to comb through so they didn't look like they were all stuck together.  I feel it is definately worth it to pay a little more to not have my eyelashes look all stuck together.

After hearing so many rave reviews in various beauty magazines, I was very surprised to get such poor results from this mascara.  I have very long eyelashes, but you'd hardly know it with this mascara.  It only does a good job of clumping my lashes.  Perhaps the curved brush was not the way to go and maybe their straight brush is better for thickening and lenghthening.  At least it was only a $3.99 investment.

 This product has been around for a great while now, why? because it works! Trust me its not for those girls who want big lashes{like me} but it makes them darker and than most other products. it works great when your in a hurry and dont have time to sit and apply coat after coat. i keep this in my makeup up case for those days, because im one of those girls with short lashes this is not my first choice.

I keep trying new mascaras because I get coupons and I figure it's worth a try to see if I can make my practically invisible lashes look even better but I'm always disappointed.  Great Lash is the brand I always come back to.  The curved brush works for me to give my lashes a little extra lift and length.  It never clumps and it's just a great mascara.

This product is something I would NEVER recommend. I do like to try different types of make-up, mascara in particular. However, when I tried this particular product, it had way to many clumps, no curl, and very sticky. The curved applicator brush is awkward and makes application that much more difficult. On top of that it took me forever to remove!!!!! Washable... I think not!

Good mascara for younger teenage girls. Doesn't plump lashes too thick or volumize, which normally leads to more sex appeal. I don't reccomend this mascara for a night out on the town -- it's more of a daytime, casual wear. Easy to apply, doesn't clump at all, and the brush is comfortable to hold. Small pink container, which is extremely girly, but this mascara is an all-time classic.

I have used other products... but  Maybelline has been the best for me. It is so easy to apply the curved surface fits right in with my eyline.

The mascara really does a great job... not only putting color in my lashes but curves and enhances the natural shape of the lash. A very pleasent woundrous look for my lashes.

And must say price is right for my budget
