Q: Does it smudge on people who wear around eye moisturizer? Thanks.

submitted by sunshine - 5 years ago
  • A: it is super clumpy for me and I never wear any other makeup just mascara and it smudges for no reason and I never touch my eyes so idk what it is but yea

    submitted byJordyn - 3 years ago
  • A: I've not had that issue and I'm wearing moisturizer plus sunscreen under my eyes. I don't think you'll have any issues with this. I would suggest keeping a lash comb near by as it can go on clumpy a bit. Overall, really good for a budget mascara!

    Not for straight stubborn lashes

    I really like how dramatic it made my lashes look! But it only lasted 15 minutes and then my lashes drooped.

    Solid!

    This mascara is great for the price! Does what you need it to do and actually doesn’t come off easy for a non-waterproof. My lashes are longer and more defined with just one application! Not buildable however, will clump. I don’t wear much makeup but this product is great and I keep one for when I’m on the go!

    My favorite mascara 💖 I’ve been using this for years and it’s way better than any high end mascara, I’ve tried almost everything but this is where it’s at. It makes your lashes look so much longer even with one coat

    Packaging is cute, product.. Isn't

    I bought this product at my local drugstore a week ago. I bought it because the mascara was cheap, and the packaging looked so adorable. I bought the Essence false lash mascara. Whenever I put it on I expect it to look like a false lash, but it just looked ugly and clumpy. It didn't look like a false lash at all. And I'm really sad. I need to put on many different layers of this mascara for it to work. I don't like this product at all. It's starting to dry out. I just wouldn't get this type of mascara again. I'll try out more. Doesn't separate the lashes like a true false lash. I want this mascara to look fluffy. Like a real false lash.

    From Customer Service team
    We're so sorry our Lash Princess mascara didn't give you the lash look you were hoping for! For best results, try starting at the base of your lashes and gently wiggling the wand back and forth to build length and volume. We appreciate your honest feedback and hope you'll find your perfect lash match with essence!

    Love this mascara. It’s a great job at lengthening, and it’s far less expensive than most other drugstore brands! I’d love to use it with the Essence lash primer too.

    Used to be great but something changed

    This mascara has always been amazing. However they must have recently changed an ingredient. It irritates my eyes and makes my eyes get so irritated/sticky/watery. So sad about this and won’t be buying again after years of buying it.
