Side by Side Comparison of: Maybeline New York vs Maybelline New York

I have used Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof mascara for a good 2-3 years now, and was thrilled to see that Amazon sells it at a fair price that is comparable to what I pay at Target but I had the option of adding it to my Subscribe and Save cart !! Fantastic ! Now look it's nothing fancy, it's not the super "Extendo-Lash" mascara but it's a beautiful mascara that applies very well and holds up all day long without running even with tears (I'm not even joking.) This is my favorite brand, and that's that. Happy Mascara-ing. ^_^

I buy these items online because I work late everyday and don't get a chance to get to the store as much as I need to, I sit at my computer while having coffee and order what I need, its so easy, I don't like to shop in the stores, the price is good the item is perfect and as expected, no complaints

This stuff is my summer go-to for truly waterproof eyelashes. As a redhead with invisi-lashes, I rely on this stuff at the pool to avoid looking like I have no hair on my face (my eyebrows are super light too, so having eyelashes is a must). I probably replace this stuff more than more expensive brands of mascara to avoid clumping, but it's so cheap I don't mind.

I love this mascara. I have tried other, more expensive brands over the years, but I always go back to this one. It isn't clumpy when I put it on, and it always applies nicely.

A mascara classic. I've been wearing this one for decades. Seriously, it was the first piece of make-up I ever owned. Bought my first tube when I was 12 years old. I've tried other brands. Fancier ones. Newer ones. And I keep coming back to this one. The waterproofing works as well as any waterproof one I've tried. (I recommend using an eye makeup remover liquid with it. Neutrogena makeup remover cloths do a great job taking it off,too. Water alone won't do it and soap and water still is challenged by it. ) The color looks as good as any brand of the same color I've tried. The brush is your classic old school straight little brush with little bristles on it. No huge brush, no wild curved shape, etc. But it works fine. I didn't seem to get any better results from any of the other fancier brands or newer styles. None of them gave me the huge lashes and invisible lift and curl and separation or whatever they promised. None of them worked so well that I didn't also have to use an eyelash curler for optimum results. So it doesn't bother me at all to use this one and an eyelash curler like women have been since your mama started wearing makeup.

Maybelline great lash is the best----have been using it for years... It is effective and very economical! It also doesn't irritate my eyes as other mascaras have.

This is my favorite mascara of all time! I've tried much more expensive mascaras (YSL, Chanel), and this one still is my favorite! I have dark blonde hair, so the brownish-black is the perfect tint. I highly recommend trying this out- and why not? It's only $5 on Amazon! :)

I've used this mascara for years now and they used to have a washable waterproof version that I can't find anywhere! So this will have to do. Makes my eyelashes black, long and beautiful and I never have to reapply. Comes right off with washing.

How come I never knew about this before?? I usually like having my eyelashes out on the edges but not too long in the middle and the inner. this does exactly just that without having to fight with it!!! I think I will buy few spare one just in case they take it out but its making my life so much easier now

I have used Great Lash mascara for years because it is cheap...and good! I fell in love with the shape of this brush, but I can no longer find it in this color in any store in my area. They have the Blackest of Black color, but that is too dark for me. I'm so glad I can order Brownish Black with this brush from Amazon!

My favorite mascara to date. I love the applicator and color and the fact that I only need to apply one coat. My lashes appear longer and thicker. I think the price is great for the product and I'll purchase this again next time.

I've been a dedicated Great Lash user for YEARS now, and this is the best formula/brush combo they have. I've been using this exact mascara ever since it first came out in stores. I hate the look of overly thick, clumpy lashes, and this has been an answer to my prayers! Adds great volume while still looking natural, and (the best part) the brush easily removes any and every little clump you might notice. Super easy to use, and has never irritated my eyes (I am a daily contact wearer with a slight astigmatism in one eye). Love, love, love!

Waterproof mascaras are best if eyes are sensitive. This comes off with make-up remover. It does not smudge and therefor does not irritate.

Maybeline does a nice job with mascara. The wand is good and helps extend lashes.

This is an old school mascara. Last time I tried it was approximately 20 years ago. Unfortunately, even though it claims to be waterproof it is not and smudges quite a bit. Won't purchase again. I gave it four stars because it doesn't clump, etc. I don't care for the chemical smell either.

This is one of the best water proof mascaras I have ever used. It stays on all day, and requires a make-up remover to get it off at night. I need a water proof mascara for daily wear as I am one of those people that cries whenever I laugh, so I have tried many. This one holds up better than the higher priced brands I have tried. The only dislike I have for this product is the old style brush they are still using on the wand. I have a harder time getting an even coating and get more clumps with this style brush.

Great, a bit chunky so I gave it four stars. Arrived in a timely manner and I would definitely Recommend this product for anyone wanting big beautiful lashes! Pictures were taken after being worn throughout a busy day with only one coating/application!

It's the best mascara I've found for not smudging under my eyes, but it still does smudge under my eyes. Also, like most mascaras, it's not easy to completely remove. Any residue will continue to smudge while you're sleeping at night, especially if you've used an oily remover to try to clean the mascara off your lashes. I use eye drops for high ocular pressure. The drops stain my skin under my eyes and the mascara, I think, worsens the stains, making them darker and more indelible; I'd rather it didn't.

It gave my lashes a really thick coat on the very first pass already, didn't need to do a 2nd coat. I like the tapered tip of the wand, easier to apply to corner lashes.

I am Asian and have very sparse eyelashes. This wand coaxes out the shortest of lashes!. Most brushes are too bulky and I always seem to get mascara on my lids. Not with this! This is my go to mascara because of the wand. I use this wand with other mascara I have.

I try new mascaras all the time and always come back to Maybelline. Everything about it is better for me than other mascaras. It definitely lasts longer as far as what you get in the tube. It seems to go on thicker than the mascaras that try harder with weird shaped brushes, etc. I like this classic Great Lash with no frills. I gave it a four because this doesn't make my lashes look like the models. :)

My go-to mascara. I've tried lots of others and always come back to this. Easy to apply and not clumpy. I only give it four stars because it's not a natural product, which would be my preference.

Love this mascara! It is really better than most others I've tried. I didn't think there would be much difference, but the applicator design makes the brush coating complete so you don't have to push the brush in and out of applicator to get full mascara coverage on the brush. My lashes look so good I don't even have to curl them anymore. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is that it does clump a little more than I would like. But otherwise a surprisingly good product. I use it every day and recommend it to my family and friends.

I love mascara and love to try new kinds. I've had several tubes of the "traditional" Great Lash mascara, but I wanted to try this one because I saw it has a new brush.As you can see in the picture, the brush tapers off. I know the idea is that you can use the small end to get the tiny lashes in the corners of your eyes.PROS: The mascara is very dark and thickens each lash, and maybe lengthens them a bit. I can get by with just one coat in the morning if I'm in a rush.CONS: I think the brush ends up being a huge problem. The brush has so many clumps of mascara on it when you pull it out of the tube. I figure that because the entrance of the tube is wide enough for the thickest part of the brush, it's took big for the rest of the brush, so it doesn't "rake" the excess mascara off the middle and end. As a result, I have to do extra work to prevent my eyelashes from clumping together.Overall, I would not buy this product again, because of the problems with the brush / clumping.

Not thrilled with this product, because it's not the same formula as the Great Lash in used to. Maybe it's fake, who knows. It didn't seem to have a lot of mascara in it. Maybe it's an older product, not sure... It may work for you though...

The package seemed to be opened from one side and the cap didn't look tightly fixed so I was reluctant to keep it, but when I completely opened it, judging from how there were no marks from the black liquid in the opening, it may have not been actually opened or used. I just expected it to have been packaged more carefully despite it being an add-on; afterall, it is a makeup applied on the eyelashes.

This is a classic. It's BLACK and I love that but it's messy to apply and the only good thing anymore is that it's truly waterproof.

Brush is thinner than the old one that used to come with it (must have changed it in the last 2 years since I last bought this brand), and makes it hard to apply. I have to put on a coat, wait til it dries, repeat, and do this at least 3 or 4 times before my lashes look full. I find that while it's drying it likes to come off onto my skin and stain around my eyes. I always put it on BEFORE my foundation and eye makeup due to this problem.

not too waterproof

I have a problem with eye products: they like to fall off. When I apply mascara, a couple of hours later it's collected under my lower lashes (yes, even when I only apply it to my upper lashes). So I decided to try a waterproof mascara on the theory that it would stay better.Pros:- The mascara goes on well. It has a nice basic brush and the product doesn't clump.- It looks nice.Cons:- It's not all that waterproof. Although removing all of it takes make-up remover, I can get a lot of it off with plain water. It will also run down your face if you're in the rain/cry, although not as badly as non-waterproof . . . plus, of course, then it's harder to get off your face.- There was a lot of flaking and fallout. At least for me . . . it fell off and collected under my lower lashes so that, within a couple of hours of application, it looked like I was wearing thick black eyeliner under my eyes. Charming.I gave this product three stars instead of two because I'll still sometimes use it. (2.5 stars might be a better bet.) As long as I'm not planning on bursting into tears, all I have to do is visit the bathroom every couple of hours and scrub a wet finger under my eye.

A little wet and heavy,cant keep the effect and lash goes down soon

It's OK

The classic formula is great, as expected, but the new "heart shaped" brush does not work for my lashes. I found that it was hard to apply to the tiny lashes on the inner corner and bottom lash line. I ended up making more of a mess than I normally would with other mascaras. The bristles were far apart and made my lashes clump together. Otherwise, the formula wore well all day but I would only order again if I had the option for the standard style of brush.

I love the shape of this brush. Gets into the corners well. However for some reason, this formula flakes really bad! I've used Great Lash mascara for going on 30 years now, and never noticed a problem with flaking. I did notice this mascara seemed a good bit "drier" than a normal new tube usually is. I don't know if it's the formula or if it's just old. Think I'll just go back to my regular old "original" Great Lash.

Using this mascara was an adjustment. I forgot how short the wand was when I ordered this. All the "newer" and "fancier" mascaras have crazy wands that are long or curled or think. This one is really short. I dont have any problems with the mascara itself though. Stays on all day and doesn't flake. I miss having a longer brush, but this gets the job done at a fraction of the cost of what I was paying. I'd likely buy this again.

I've been using this on and off since my teens. I love the way it makes my lashes look. But after switching brands, I realize my eye allergies due to contact lenses were actually eye irritations due to THIS MASCARA. Any time I wear it, after a week I can barely keep my contact lenses in through the end of the day, my eyes itch and burn, and eventually they feel scratched even when my lenses are out. I had always assumed I couldn't wear contacts (one time a doctor told me I had horrible allergies that caused bumps on the inside of my lids, so he wouldn't even prescribe me contacts!) Then, I switched mascara brands once to try a different one, and then lo I could wear contacts again. Thought maybe it was seasonal, until two years later I bought this again. Ahhh! My eyes are in so much pain! So sad because it really has a great look.

It still smeared during the day. I thought it was waterproof. All other mascaras I have tried that are waterproof don't smear, stay put until I take it off. I see why it is so cheap, I rather stick with other products.

Love the price, but unfortunately it smears for me. Not a fan :(

I guess I need volume mascara. This is waterproof but removes easily with make up remover.

I don't know why people like this mascara other than the price. I'm glad I only spent a few dollars on it.

Maybe the product is fine...but the one I received was not creamy and hardly even visible on the wand...pretty dried out I would say...probably should have complained that it was old.

I had read an article that had given this waterproof mascara a high rating but I was very disappointed. It seemed to be even less waterproof than any non-waterproof brands I had tried in the past. I was disappointed to see I ended up with raccoon eyes when I wore this mascara to the office. As a mascara it's not bad, but in my opinion, it fails as a waterproof one.

The wand on this mascara is the worst .... I wish I knew ... I ordered a few ... ugh!

Did nothing for me. Wasn't thick enough to even show. Just not great at all

Not a big fan. The brush is too small and since the mascara is thick, it just becomes a gloopy mess. I love Maybelline mascara but I wouldnt buy this wand again.

This is cheap mascara. It flaked off during the day and would get into my eye so I was always rubbing my eyes, which would just cause more to flake off. good in a pinch it you need something cheap, but not something I would buy again.

I have used Maybelline Great Lash in the past and saw the price and decided to try it again. I HATE the brush. It is not like what is pictured. The brush is small and terribly angled. One end of the brush is very small while the opposite end is big making a sharp angle. It is hard to apply. You have to decide which end you want to use and make a thousand little strokes with that end to get coverage. I will not be purchasing again because of the brush. Also, I have noticed on more than one occasion after I have been wearing this for a while it makes my eyes water. I work 12.5 hour shifts and by the end of my shift I couldn't wait to take it off. This may just be me, but I had to stop using this after only two weeks.

I am an AVID makeup user and I don't usually get makeup from drugstores, but I have seen this get so many great reviews for many many years so I just had to try it out. 1 Star for the brush shape 1 star for the price.Pros:•The price•I like the shape of the brush (not the quality)Cons:• When I try to wash this off my face, it never wants to come off completely. I always end up having to scrub my eyelashes which causes them to sometimes fall out.•This is not a thick mascara so if you like a bold look, I would look elsewhere.•This does not make your eyelashes really long and luscious, it feels heavy and I don't see any volume.Overall, I wouldn't buy this again, I'd rather spend $10 more for a higher end mascara. I did like the shape of the brush because it tapers and makes it easier to apply to short bottom lashes. I would recommend Two Face Lash Injection if you have short eyelashes like me (asian eye lashes). The truth is, I haven't been able to find any drug store mascara that can compete with Two Face, Clinique or any other high end mascara that I have tried. I would recommend this product to someone who doesn't have short eyelashes and doesn't necessarily need to add volume or thickness to their lashes.

I put this mascara on at 9 a.m. and by 11 a.m. I looked like a raccoon. I wasn't wearing any other makeup and hadn't done anything except read. This is probably the worst mascara I've ever purchased.

I bought this per a great review. I used it twice then tossed it into the trash. The mascara flaked and left me looking like a racoon at the end of the day. I was trying to move away from Cover girl with this purchase but I can't. To this mascaras defense, it's not in the trash alone. It's in there with some much more pricey mascaras too.

Buy their Maybelline's washable one instead. It is easier to build longer lashes with it. Also, the waterproof one is impossible to remove. I bought it by mistake.

I used to use this mascara all the time about 5-10 years ago and I loved it. I decided to try it again recently and was very disappointed. It smudges and l leaves marks on upper eye lids within hours of application. I also don't think it's waterproof, despite what the label says. Don't get caught in the rain, exercise or cry, if you decide to wear it...

This was the worst mascara I have ever seen. Not only was the tip just terrible, thin, and difficult to use. You had to keep reapplying and kept seeing no difference. Then when it was time to remove this mascara was just impossible to remove. Even using waterproof eye makeup remover was no help. I then had to wash my eyes with soap several times to get this off my eyes. Both my daughters hated it as well. It was a waste of money.

I will never buy this brand of mascara again. Within an hour after applying it I have smudges all under my eyes. I find myself having to clean away mascara smudges all during the day. Very disappointing...

Didn't like this mascara. It doesn't make my lashes look with more volume. It was a big disappointment because of all the great reviews I had read before buying this product.

This product has mostly flaked off by the end of the work day. The flakes stick to my eyelids and the area below the eye. They look terrible and cannot be easily removed with remover and a swab, tissue or pad. I have to scrub off this mess, taking other makeup off in the process. Besides, why would I want to be fussing with messy makeup in the ladies room at work?

This stuff is horrible. I'm sorry to say, but it is so bad once it dries and after a couple hours feels so heavy that you just want to peel it off haha best mascara for me : Berger than sex mascara also sold on Amazon bte

Not a fan of this. Years ago I was a Great Lash devotee, so I figured this (very inexpensive) mascara was worth a shot. I just tried out my first subscription and I will not be using it again. The brush is a great concept, but no matter how I tried to apply this, it clumped my lashes together like no other mascara. After three attempts (cleaning my lashes and brushing them apart in between each attempt), I still could not get this stuff on without ending up with my lashes clumped together in three messy bunches. I'm pretty disappointed, since I was really in need of a fresh tube of mascara, but I would rather go without for a day or two until I can pick up a different brand. Glad I only spent a few dollars on it. It's ironic too, because this is supposedly "Lots of Lashes" and it made me look like I only had a few that were plastered together...

The brush is terrible. It clumps worse than any other mascara brush I've ever used, no matter how little or how much I use.

This is a horrible mascara. The plastic applicator brush just leaves a big clumpy mess. The tip has very short spikes and the back has long spikes that deliver globs of mascara. Nothing like the normal wire brush Maybelline Great Lash applicator.
