"I don’t wear makeup daily, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much better I looked with this mascara. It makes my sparse lashes appear full and vibrant. It doesn’t flake, and I love the curved wand for easy application!"

"I am absolutely in love with this Lancôme mascara! It doesn’t clump or flake and gives my lashes a beautiful fan effect. While it’s not waterproof, I appreciate that it doesn’t damage my natural lashes. It’s a 10/10 product for me!"

"After years of searching, I finally found a mascara that doesn’t give me raccoon eyes. Yes, it’s a bit pricey, but it’s worth every penny! I love how it enhances my lashes without making a mess."

"I don’t usually write reviews, but I feel this mascara deserves recognition. I’m quite picky about mascara and have tried many, but this one is by far my absolute favorite! The thin and flexible wand allows for even application without clumping, making my lashes look long and beautifully separated. I highly recommend giving this mascara a shot!"

"I typically go for higher-end brands like Better Than Sex or Dior, but this mascara has truly impressed me! It keeps my lashes curled, looking long and separated, and doesn’t flake throughout the day. It’s also affordable, which is a big plus. I even ordered one for my best friend, and she loves it too!"

"I ordered the True Brown shade and was pleasantly surprised with the color! It’s a beautiful softer brown that complements my lashes perfectly. This tubing mascara doesn’t smudge, even in humidity, and it removes easily. I’ve been looking for a more cost-friendly option, and I will definitely be ordering again!"

"I’ve been using makeup since my 20s and contacts since I was 12. This is the first mascara I’ve used that doesn't irritate my eyes. It's amazing! Though pricier, the comfort it provides while wearing contacts makes it worth it. Thank you, Clinique!"

"I love my Clinique mascara and it’s my go-to! Initially, I faced a delay of a few days in receiving it, but I waited because I needed it. I’m hoping it’s as good as always when I finally open it!"

"After trying many brands, I’ve found this mascara to be my favorite. One layer gives me long, pretty lashes without clumping or mess. I truly appreciate its performance!"

"At 73, my lashes had almost disappeared. After trying this mascara, I'm SO GLAD I DID! It really lengthens what I didn't think was there!"

"I have chronic Blepharitis, and this mascara has transformed my routine. It goes on easily, doesn't irritate, and separates my lashes beautifully!"

"I've tried many mascaras, but this one is the best! It gives me incredible length and volume, and it's easy to remove with just water!"

“This mascara is awesome and exactly what I needed. It enhances my lashes without looking like false eyelashes. I have sensitive eyes, and this product does not irritate them at all. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it for older ladies.”

“I really appreciate the small separating brush. It allows me to build layers as desired, and it lasts all day without flaking. Plus, it's easy to wash off with my regular facial cleanser. My daughter, who is only 33, loves it too!”

“Unfortunately, this mascara burned my eyes and felt like a thick oil. I was shocked by how many cotton pads it took to remove it after just one coat. It's one of the worst I've ever tried, though the brush head is nice.”

“I’ve been using the teal brand mascara, but it made my eyes itchy. I decided to try Rumi, and I'm really pleased with it. It doesn't clump or create a mess like some others. My lashes look really long, and my eyes feel comfortable.”

“This mascara is fantastic! No smearing or clumping, and it doesn’t flake into my eyes. I’ll definitely recommend it and buy again once I need a replacement.”

“I had high hopes for this mascara. It's nice, but not worth the price tag. I can find similar results for half the cost at the drugstore. After three coats, my lashes didn’t achieve the look shown in the ads.”

"After using one mascara for over 30 years, I was disappointed by others until I found this one. At 70+, my lashes are thinner, and this product keeps them from clumping while defining them naturally. It lasts all day without flaking or smudging. I'm definitely sticking with this mascara; it's an excellent value too!"

"I really like this mascara. As a senior with thin lashes, it applies beautifully without clumping. I've even recommended it to my sister because it's been such a good find for me!"

"I bought this mascara because I appreciated the small brush size for my thinning lashes. However, I found that it leaves some fibers on my lashes and clumps more than expected. Plus, it doesn't wash off as easily as advertised. Overall, it didn't quite work for me."

"I had given up on mascara, but after trying this product designed for women over 60, I feel proud of my eyelashes again at 76 years young! I highly recommend it to my fellow Sisters who want to feel fashionable!"

"I think it’s a solid product. The price was fair, and I received two tubes. It applies well without smudging, and it comes off easily with a good remover."

"Honestly, I struggled a bit applying this mascara. I kept poking myself in the eye. While the product itself might be fine, I think softer brushes would really help!"

"I really enjoy this mascara. It's my go-to for daily wear; it stays on all day, doesn't clump, and arrives quickly after I order. I've just ordered another tube and hope others like it as much as I do!"

"Initially, I loved this mascara. However, my second tube melted on my face, leaving me with a raccoon appearance. Despite several attempts, I ended up with more product under my eyes than on my lashes, which was quite odd."

"At 68, I've noticed my lashes thinning. This mascara helped create the thicker, longer look I remember. With just two coats, it lasts all day and comes off easily with my facial cleanser. I'm very pleased with its performance!"

"I've just started using this mascara and I'm enjoying it. It's easy to apply and looks good, but it doesn't give as much volume to my diminishing lashes as some pricier options. However, it’s gentle on my sensitive skin, and easy to remove, so I'm waiting to see how long it lasts."

"The first time I wore this mascara, everyone commented on my make-up. People asked how I made my eyes stand out! My short, light lashes received lots of length and volume, and it doesn’t smudge or run. I’m really impressed, especially since I’ve tried many mascaras before, and this one outperformed them all!"

"I appreciate the affordable price and the quality is just as lovely. I’m still using my first tube and it’s lasting a while. It doesn’t glob on, so I will definitely repurchase."
