Dream Wing Washable Mascara​

Maybelline Dream Wing Waterproof Mascara is a winged-out lengthening mascara built around a weightless airy mousse formula and a 5.5mm slim curve wand, with up to 24H of smudge-proof, sweat-proof, water-resistant wear.

Unlike a washable mascara, the waterproof formula is engineered to hold its shape through humidity, sweat, and tears, which means it will not smudge under the eye or flake down the cheek through long wear.

It is the pick for events, workouts, travel, and hot or rainy weather.

Dream Wing Mascara delivers a fluttery, elongated lash wing to the eye for an eye-wide-open effect. The end look is delicately fluttery while delivering elongated lashes especially toward the inner and outer corners of the eyes.

Lash Sensational Sky High Waterproof Mascara delivers limitless length + volume to the lashes. This sleek volume allows for a comfortable and weightless feel.

Both Dream Wing Mascara & Lash Sensational Sky High feature a lightweight formula for an all-day comfortable feel.

The 1.2X eye-opening effect comes from lift and direction.

“For me, an eye-opening effect is really about creating lift and direction,” says makeup artist Jenna Kristina. Her top tip is to “get as close to the base of the lash line as you can. This creates a tight line look and starts the framing of your eyes even without eyeliner.”

As she puts it, “Mascara is such an easy way to subtly change the architecture of the eye.”

No. In a consumer study, 90% agreed the formula felt as light as air on lashes.

“I have very straight lashes and even with curling my lashes if I wear a mascara that's too wet it can actually negate the curl I applied,” says makeup artist Jenna Kristina. “This mousse formula never does that.”

She adds, “The mousse-like formula feels light, so you can build length and definition while keeping that airy quality.”

Yes. Dream Wing Waterproof Mascara is built for exactly that.

The waterproof formula is smudge-proof, sweat-proof, and tear-resistant for up to 24H of wear.

It will not transfer under the eye or down the cheek in humid conditions, and the airy mousse stays light on the lashes so there is no heavy or flaky feel by the end of the night.

Yes. The 5.5mm slim curve wand reaches tiny lashes that a larger brush may miss. In a consumer study, 93% agreed the formula coats every single lash, even the tiniest ones.

“For shorter or straighter lashes, I'd spend a little more time at the root and build in thin layers,” says makeup artist Jenna Kristina. “The slim curved wand is great for that because you can actually get close to the lash line and reach those tiny inner and outer lashes.”

“For rounder eyes, I love pulling the lashes outward and putting a little more emphasis on the outer corner to elongate the eye,” says makeup artist Jenna Kristina. “For more almond or naturally elongated eyes, you can really exaggerate that wing.”

She also notes, “Because you can control where you place the product, I think it can work beautifully across different eye shapes rather than forcing everyone into the same lash shape.”

A regular long-wear mascara is built for daytime durability but typically breaks down under water, sweat, or tears.

Dream Wing Waterproof adds true water resistance on top of long wear, which is what allows it to hold through swimming, crying, humid weather, and high-sweat workouts.

The trade-off is a slightly more involved removal step at the end of the day, which is why Dream Wing also comes in a washable version for everyday use.

Yes. Dream Wing Mascara is also available as Dream Wing Washable Mascara.

Choose the washable formula for everyday wear when you want the same fluttery winged-out lash effect but plan to rinse your makeup off with water and a gentle cleanser at the end of the day.

The washable version is especially well suited to sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

Choose Dream Wing Waterproof when you need the look to hold through humidity, sweat, tears, or a long event.

Start with one coat and build for the evening.

“For daytime, I think one really beautiful coat of Maybelline's Dream Wing mascara is enough. I want to still see the individual lashes and keep everything soft and fluttery,” says makeup artist Jenna Kristina.

“For evening, I would layer… I can add another coat through the outer lashes and really pull them outward for more of a wing or build through the center if I want the eyes to feel bigger and more open. You're essentially using the mascara to sculpt the eye rather than just putting more product everywhere.”

Dream Wing works with soft washes of color and bold graphic looks alike.

“A soft wash of color pulled slightly upward and outward, paired with fluttery lashes going in that same direction, is really beautiful,” says makeup artist Jenna Kristina.

“If graphic/high contrast makeup looks are more your thing, then Dream Wing is the perfect complement to that look. You get fluttery winged eyelashes without taking away from the graphic lines.”

For the rest of the face, she keeps things fresh with Cloudtopia blush and a soft stained lip using the Super Stay Peel Off Lip Liner and Lifter Gel Lip Oil.

Use an oil-based or bi-phase eye makeup remover, not soap and water. Soak a cotton pad with remover and press it gently against closed lashes for 10 to 15 seconds to dissolve the waterproof formula. Then wipe downward in the direction of lash growth, never side to side. Avoid scrubbing or pulling, which can break lash hairs over time. A second pass with a gentle facial cleanser around the lash line removes any remaining residue.
