So far .. my top MK mascara.

Being a consultant, I'm trying all the mascaras, haven't quite made a full round yet. But this one is by far my favorite, the brush covers every single lash. There's no flaky mess and it lasts all day. It really does give bolder, longer looking lashes. If you're having trouble removing it, it's best to use the MK Oil-Free Makeup Remover.

gets the job done!

I have tried other mascaras and I don't like them because they end up leaving my eyelashes dry, somehow this mascara deeply penetrates leaving my eyelashes soft. I have been using this product since it first came out 7 years ago, and it works wonders. I rarely have eyelashes but somehow with this product I am able to achieve longer fuller eyelashes.

Gets The Job Done

This is my go to mascara when I don't want to apply a lot of mascara but want a lot of results. It definitely goes with its name, actually lengthens and volumizes the lashes to give it a bold look. Only complaint is that it's hard to get off sometimes and can get very runny if you start crying or rub your eye too hard. Other than that, I love it.

If you use the Mary Kay eye makeup removed it is very easy to get off! I'm a consultant so wanted to make sure you were informed. Ask your consultant if you can try the oil free eye makeup remover. You will be shocked at how little you need and how good it feels at the end of a long day!!!

I'm a consultant also, sometimes I have to do multiple applications, even with the mk eye makeup remover. I love the ultimate mascara, don't get me wrong, and I'm glad it doesn't come off quite easily, but sometimes it can be a pain. I was just being honest, but I appreciate your response.

You're welcome and you are right! It does take a second go around many times! I love this mascara. It looks like your post was more than a year ago! What's your thoughts about using it with the primer? I like it a lot better than the Lash Love, how about you?

I love the lash love. This mascara will always hold a special place in my heart, but I use it on my bottom lashes now more than top, especially if I'm looking for a dramatic look. The only thing I dislike about the lash love is that it can be too dramatic and can give the spider eyes effect. It's definitely not an everyday mascara, but I've been looking for a mascara with more drama for so long that I was so happy to get this one. Have you tried the new time wise foundations?

I used this mascara for a while, but have since abandoned it for other things. For me, there was nothing extremely special about this mascara, it wasn't outstanding not was it terrible. Just very middle of the road, but middle of the road is not enough for me to repurchase.

Mi Gusta!

I really like this mascara because it is so versatile! With one swipe you can achieve dark, natural looking lashes, but if you want a more dramatic look it is easy to build up! With 3-5 coats you will have MEGA length! It doesn't flake off during the day, even when placed on the lower lashes. My only complaint would be that it definitely gets a little clumpy if you're not careful, which can cause the lashes to feel stiff (a weird pet peeve of mine). Despite that minor flaw I do like this mascara and will keep using it!

My "holy grail" mascara!

I have been through nearly 4 or 5 tubes of this in the past year. I tried a sample of it at a Mary Kay party, and had to buy it once I ran out! I haven't touched another mascara since. It makes my lashes long and thick. One coat is all you need, but if you add more, dramatic lashes are a definite. I swear by this stuff. The only downfall is that it is messy at times. You have to be very careful when you apply it. But SO worth it. Another thing I noticed was that although it is not waterproof, it still holds up for a few seconds until you actually get the lashes saturated with water. Then if you gently rub your lashes between your fingers...(GENTLY), it balls up and comes right off. So, it stays on, and it is easy to remove. Needless to say, I love this mascara!

Meh

It does what every mascara does: it lengthens, volumizes and darkens. For me, this particular brand is just too clumpy, and is very easy to get everywhere for some reason. It's nothing spectacular, but it's not really where I would hope for the price. I've found ones for half the price that leave this in the dust.

I like this mascara, if you are looking for false lashes this is the mascara for you. Your lashes WILL BE voluminous, and great. We also have another mascara called lash love mascara. it definds, defends, and delivers four times the volume without looking overdone for those that want more natural, but full lashes. you can go to http://www.marykay.com/asiathurston to purchase.
