Kevyn Aucoin The Volume Mascara, Black: Precision detail brush. Tubing tech. Long wear. Clump & flake-free. Pro makeup artist go to that thickens, separate & lengthen lashes. Easy removal with water.

This mascara is great for me! I don’t like heavy mascara in the day and the wand and product allow a simple application for light lashes.

I have been wearing this mascara for nearly 20 years. It’s not dramatic, but it stays on and washes off easily without makeup remover. It’s perfect for every day make up.

Not sure why, but my last 4 auto orders have ended up in dry mascara after about a week. Which is not normal for this brand. Sorry but I think this resale company is storing its mascara for FAR too long resulting in inferior products.

So I love this mascara. Because I squint when I smile I constantly get the "raccoon eye" effect underneath my eyes and was forever searching for a great smudge-proof mascara. This mascara definitely doesn't smudge, and like the other reviewers said, it's really to wash off. I don't even use my face wash on it since my face wash contains granules that I don't want to get anywhere near my eyes, so I'm glad that the mascara comes off with just water and a little bit of light rubbing. I only it apply it in the mornings with rarely any touching up. (I might add another layer if i'm going out in the evening though).I debated on this, but I took off a whole star for 3 reasons (2 minor, 1 major):1. It's pricey for a mascara, and by far the most I've ever spent on one. However, since it does exactly what I need it to, I'm willing to pay for it and will definitely be ordering it again once this runs out. I've only been using it for about a week or so, so I can't say yet how long it lasts.2. It's lighter than I thought it would be. I purchased the "rich pitch black" and when I have it on it resembles my brown "They're Real" mascara from Benefit. Not a huge issue, but worth mentioning.3. The biggest issue is the brush - it is TINY. I don't know if this mascara is designed to be a lower lash mascara specifically, but that's definitely what it looks like. I didn't note anything in the description before I purchased it that it was either or. Because the brush is so thin, it takes me 4 times as long to apply the mascara to my top lashes. Granted, this doesn't cost me an hour of my time or anything, but every single morning when I apply it for the day it bugs me a little. And since the tube is so thin, I can't use a different brush because it would be too hard to cram in there. It does apply to the bottom lashes easily though.In summary, I really like this for the smudge-proof factor and will purchase again, but maybe (hopefully) they can work out the kinks and improve the product a little.

Let's talk lashes—specifically, the kind that turn heads and spark envy. As a former lash extension addict, I've tried my fair share of mascaras promising the world.

This review captures the essence of what makes this formula a true unicorn amongst a crowded market. It's not just about makeup; it's about confidence, ease, and embracing your natural beauty effortlessly.

I have been using Blinc mascara for years because it is really hard to find tubing (if that is the right term) mascaras. It never smeared or irritated my contacts, but it never gave me any volume or length. SO, I was absolutely thrilled when I first bought this mascara, my first tube was amazing, seriously. I literally recommended it to all of my friends. Unfortunately, I have had to return my last two purchases because they were so dry. I got maybe a weeks worth of use out of them. Not great because this is not a cheap product. If it were based on my first purchase, I would give 5 stars. I also understand that sellers are at the mercy of the people they buy from, so I don't want to imply that they purposefully sold an inadequate product.

It is a great mascara, it looks great and lengthens the lashes without clumping them. It washes off with just water which no residue. Highly recommend.

iT DOESN'T GO ON WITH A LOT OF COLOR.
