Rated 4 out of 5 by Melanie from It's a cult classic.\n\nPros - NO CLUMPS, perfect and even coverage, fans lashes out like a dream. The brush honestly works wonders. The colour is perfect black, flat and non glossy. It's build-able without being flaky, I find it last for a good 6 hours at least.\n\nCons - Smudges easily, this is the kind of mascara where you don't want to accidentally rub your eye while wearing. Doesn't always last the full day, but if you're going out for a lunch with the girls or a dinner date, then it's perfect. Maybe try the waterproof option if smudging is a big issue for you.\n\nAll in all, for the price, it's worth keeping as a back up option for when your fave runs out.\n

Rated 1 out of 5 by Sally McGeary from I got this mascara in a gift with purchase a while ago, and I was excited to try it - I'd heard so much about this product. But when I tried it, it was very wet and took forever to dry; it was still smudging at least half an hour later, and I ended up with mascara all over my lids - not a good look! Because it took so long to dry, it was very hard to build any volume, so I would not recommend it for anyone with short lashes. I was so disappointed with this product I didn't finish it, I tried it a few times and threw it out. Not a fan.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Anonymous from This mascara is an affordable option and cult classic.I love the small wand as it gets right to the base of the lashes and coats them all. It spreads them really nicely and they do not clump at all. It gives my lashes the "natural but better" effect. I am lucky to have naturally long lashes, so I'm not that critical of most mascaras. It's cute packaging and really great to just throw into your bag for a quick retouch for long days. However, it does take a while to dry down so if you have a full face of makeup on and it smudges its gonna be difficult to remove. For that reason, I really only use it when I wear minimal makeup, just mascara and lip gloss because its easy to get rid of a little smudge when there is no concealer or foundation on your face. I would recommend this product to someone who doesn't care wear too much makeup and doesn't need to invest a lot in something they don't use often.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Leonie C from I’ve been using the Maybelline New York Great Lash Mascara in one formula or other forever, and no matter what other mascara I have at any given time I always have a tube of Great Lash on hand. \n \nI find the Great Lash so easy to use. I love the wand which suits my eye shape and lashes so well. The wand seems to be a bit smaller than most mascara wands and I can’t take to some of the fancy shaped wands around at present. \n \nI have quite reasonable length lashes and I don’t necessarily need to add a lot of volume to them. I just need a mascara that coats my lashes and separates them without leaving clumps of mascara. I usually apply one or two coats of the GreatLash which dries fairly quickly. I don’t get any fallout. \n \nI use blackest black and don’t have any trouble with cleaning off the mascara at night. I either use micellar water or an eye makeup remover. \n \nI think the Maybelline NewYork Great Lash Mascara is a super everyday mascara that has stood the test of time. \n\n

Rated 2 out of 5 by Monica Tay from I found this mascara didn't do much for me at all - it didn't add much volume or length, and it smudged under my eyes after about an hour or so. There are definitely better mascaras from Maybelline (try Lash Sensational!), this one just doesn't hit the mark.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Trinie from Constantly smudges. I’ve bought this product before and loved it. I bought again recently and I’m not sure what’s changed but it’s terrible. The wand clumps your lashes and I get constant black smudges under my eyes, but only wear on my top lashes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from A cult classic for a reason! Still the most economical mascara I've ever found that gives an equivalent effect as those 4 times the price. It's been in my makeup bag for 20 years and I'll keep in there for the next 20!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Megs from Bit dissapointed I use to use this way back in high school and always remember it being amazing. I bought it yesterday and although its still good I expected it to be a little bit more intense than it is.
