Mascara, Thickening, Volume & Length Eye Makeup with Aloe and Vitamin B5, Hypoallergenic-Fragrance Free, Ophthalmologist Tested, 401 Blackest Black

I have sensitive eyes and on top of that my job requires me to look at a computer all day. Staring at a screen for long periods of time slows down our reflexes - we blink less and tear production is reduced which then result in tired, dry eyes. Flaky mascara that irritated my eyes made this even worse. If my eyes aren't so dry that I have to put eye drops in them, I would be tearing up excessively because of some kind of irritation.Since I also have oily eyelids, I always went for waterproof mascara. If I couldn't find the waterproof version for it then I didn't bother because the washable ones have just always transferred on my bottom lids.When I started noticing that my eyes felt even worse than "usual", I did some research on what could work for sensitive eyes like mine. I found a few that seemed like they were exactly what I wanted - except for one thing: the price point... That, and I was in a hurry to just replace the mascara I'd been using but I wasn't about to go hunt for each suggested mascara that I might not even find in the stores. I decided on this. This is way cheaper than what they have at my local drugstore. It is sold at around $7-$8 depending on which drugstore you try to find this at.This mascara is washable. It does not transfer despite my oily eyelids but it will run a little bit if you sweat a lot and if you put in eye drops then you definitely will have panda eyes. Washable mascara just doesn't hold a curl as well as most waterproof mascaras do, and that is because of the formula. Even so, this still does a pretty good job. At the end of the day my eyelashes are still curled and not weighed down - like some washables tend to do. It doesn't make my lashes look stiff, it doesn't clump, and it doesn't flake - which makes it great for sensitive eyes. I will note that I do not load up my lashes way too much in the first place. My eyelashes are naturally long but are not thick so it looks sparse in some areas. This does exactly what it says, it thickens them and adds the volume that I want.My eyes feel more comfortable since I have started using this. I do not rub my eyes as much, they haven't gotten red from being extremely dry and I haven't teared up from any form of irritation from the mascara. Although this product works for my sensitive eyes it might not work for everybody else, what causes irritation and what doesn't is different for everyone.

This is the gentle formula that I needed with the deep intensity and thickness that I wanted- and all for under $10 bucks! Amazing. You have to work with this is little- wiggle the wand- do a little spin and flick - but the very cool thing is that it IS workable. It doesn't clump up if you keep applying strokes of it to get it right- and if does you can keep going and fix it. The formula is more pliable than most mascaras too which really helps. The best thing is- it doesn't irritate me- even if I happen to fall asleep with it still on- not a problem! My secret- I favor winging out the corners first and lengthening them- flaring them off to the side for more drama- then I go into the middle. I think it's a fun effect. I used to spend $38 a tube for Estee Lauder Sumptuous extreme- which was the absolute bomb- BUT it irritated my eyes. Same with Mac Stack- another great product= but too harsh for me and much eye rubbing. If you give this a little love and patience- it won't let you down.

I have had trouble finding mascara that doesn't flake or clump. I finally had to buy the more expensive clinique. When I saw this Almay mascara was inexpensive, I decided to give it a try. It went on smooth with absolutely no clumping! Didn't flake with a full day of wear--my eyes were happy and didn't itch! The reason for 4 rather than 5 stars was I had to coat it on my lashes about 4 times, verses one or two swipes with clinique. The product seems drier. Not sure how long the tube will last. But, mascara is suppose to be switched regularly. So, if Amazon continues to sell at the $4 I paid, I will definitely buy again. It's a great product at a price point you can't refuse! Still much cheaper than clinique, even if I have to buy it more often.

My 2 favourite makeup brands are Almay and Neutrogena because they do not irritate my skin. I especially like Almay's eye products because they are hypoallergenic and work well with my very sensitive eyes. I also live in AZ and need something with staying power when it's really hot. This made my lashes look much thicker, does not run, and is worth it for the price. Will buy again.

I purchased this because I needed something hypoallergenic when I started reacting to my old standby, Lash Blast. It's fine, does not irritate my eyes, does not clump badly.The one odd thing is that whenever I get a face full of steam (opening a hot oven or pot of boiling something) this mascara gets very sticky suddenly. Once it basically glued my eyes shut without warning. Another time a strand of my hair was caught in it and when I brushed it out of my face, I lost a couple of lashes.So basically, don't wear this if you have to do any cooking - otherwise it's good.

Love this mascara and have been using it for years. It covers my thin light eyelashes so it looks like I have lashes.. Resonably priced. It's not waterproof but I don't want that. Waterproof it too hard to get off withoug losing some eyelashes. This stays in place and comes off very easily. It's the one I always reach for.

I bought this mascara and forgot about it for months. I found it in my old makeup bag and started using it recently. Still, after all this time, great quality.

na

Ich konnte jahrelang keine Wimperntusche tragen, weil die Haut an meinen Augen danach sehr stark reagiert hat aufgrund von Neurodermitis. Mit dieser Wimperntusche hat er sich allerdings geändert, und ich habe nach dem abschminken überhaupt keine Hautprobleme mehr an den Augen.

Excellent

This the only mascara I have found which: thickens, holds my lashes bending up a bit, is hypoallergenic for wearing contact lenses, no strong chemical smell, stays put, does not smudge (except maybe if you physically rub your eyes). Easy to wash off with my normal foaming face wash.I came across it in the States and would stock up each time I went. Then I stopped travelling and found this in Amazon.I have been using exactly the same brand and type for about 15 years and still haven't found anything else which works for me and looks like this one does on my lashes. I like a fuller look, not a barely there, natural look.Tip: I use disposable mascara wands. I started after an eye infection, but continued, as when you first use a mascara tube, the supplied wand has a lot of mascara on it and if you scape it off back into the tube, it's then nit properly coated. As you use it, it becomes less coated, until it's perfect and then becomes too little.I find the best way is instead of putting the disposable wand into the mascara tube, I fill and take the tube's wand out and use this to transfer exactly the right amount of mascara and distribute it only where I need it on my disposable wand. That way, I get just the right amount each time :)

Surprisingly good !!! Good price point

I have tried this mascara before and like it because I have allergy problems and most other mascaras irritate my eyes. The mascara is gentle and does not clump on one's lashes. It is also relatively easy to remove.
