Clumpy and messy
Clumpy and made lashes stick together. 1st opening felt like an old bottle of mascara. Messy, not smooth on lashes and after applying slumped my lashes together. Also clumps stuck to mascara brush. Thought I'd try something different and new and now regret.

Formula change??
This mascara smells so bad! Ew. Brush is horrible too. I used to use this years ago and it was very different. What happened?

ultimate best
this is my favorite mascara ever. zero clumps, it separates and makes my lashes look way better but somehow doesn’t have any of the gloppy mascara look. I just really wish it came in brown!

This was my holy grail last year. The waterproof one is great and holds the curl. It is not clumpy at all so it is a little hard to get volume, but it is perfect for a natural lash day. I rated it a 5 but it is probably closer to a 4 because now mine is pretty dried out so I don’t use it anymore. If you like natural lashes get this and if you like your lashes to be really noticeable then telescopic or milani tubing mascara is great

I am disappointed. I wore this mascara for YEARS and then stopped due to the cost. I was recently out of my normal mascara that I have been wearing (extremely cheap) and decided to purchase my old trusty. Well something changed in the formula and it does not build like it use to.
1 reply from Maybelline Consumer Care team - 3 months ago
Hello Mist! It is truly disappointing to hear that returning to your "old trusty" did not provide the long, sleek results you remembered. We know how special it is to find a mascara that works perfectly for years, and it is never our goal to change a formula in a way that affects the lengthening and building power you’ve come to rely on. The Lash Stiletto is specifically formulated to provide that high-shine, "patent leather" finish with extreme length, and to get the best building effect, we recommend applying the second coat while the first is still slightly tacky. This helps the formula grip onto itself to extend the lashes even further without losing that sharp definition. We truly value your long-standing history with Maybelline, and your feedback regarding the performance of this classic is incredibly important as we continue to evaluate our products.

Nice, washable mascara!
I like that this mascara is removable by simple soap and water. It doesn’t clump like some other mascaras I have used and it has conditioning ingredients gor my lashes.

Disappointed
I've used this mascara for 10 years! Something has changed with their formula and now I have to find a new mascara. So bummed, not worth it to buy again

Holy grail
This has been my favorite mascara for years. I go back to it even after using several high end mascaras. If you aren’t happy with it when you first use it, give it a few uses. It has to try out a bit and then it’s perfect. If you like a natural but truly lengthened, feathery look, this is the one for you. I think it looks like a natural set of falsies, and I have lashes on the shorter side.

Not Waterproof at All – Raccoon Eyes After One Swim
I really wanted to like this because it claims to be waterproof, but that just wasn’t my experience. I wore it in the pool and came out looking like a raccoon — it smudged and ran under my eyes almost immediately. If you need something for actual water, swimming, or humid days, this isn’t it. It might be fine for light, everyday wear, but it definitely did not perform like a waterproof product for me.

Not transferproof
Transfers to the under eye area like crazy as if it never dries.
1 reply from Maybelline Consumer Care team - 5 months ago
Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about our Maybelline Lash Stiletto Ultimate Length Mascara. We are truly sorry to hear that the product is transferring to your under-eye area and doesn't seem to dry properly. This is certainly not the performance we aim for, and we understand how frustrating it can be when a product doesn't set as expected. Your experience is important to us, and we are committed to ensuring our products deliver their intended results.

Love the lengthening this mascara gives!!
I love this mascara! Its not out-of-the -ballpark expensive and does as good a job if not better than the high end mascaras. I also use the Colossal 9X mascara by Maybelline to thicken my lashes. Thats all i really neèd. I love the other big name brand mascaras just to try them out but always return to Maybelline. You never know if theres something that works better for a comparable price.

Why not brown?
Love the Lash Stilleto mascara, especially the brush. But being a redhead, I would love it if this mascara would come in black/brown or brown. Any chance of that in the near future?
