Why?
“The mascara isn’t as pigmented as I’d like it to be, so while it’s perfect for everyday wear, I’d prefer a formula that’s a bit more dramatic for night.”
Beth recommends Maybelline New York Great Lash for:
Those who are looking for a subtle, everyday look.
Beth’s review:
“Maybelline’s iconic mascara is a great everyday mascara. The small brush made it really easy to apply, with no clumping or ending up with formula everywhere but my lashes, which is a pet hate of mine. It’s a fail-safe one to apply when you’re in a rush!
At just $12.95, it also has a very reasonable price point. Unfortunately I found the formula wasn’t quite thick enough, so it didn’t have a great hold – my lashes tend to bend in all directions so they need a mascara that’ll secure them in place.”
