I have hooded eyes, and long lower lashes. It's been a multi-year quest for me to find mascara that, 1: keeps my upper lashes curled, 2: does not flake or come off on my upper eyelid/brow bone area, 3: withstands my watering eyes during allergy season, 4: gives my lashes DRAMATIC length without clumping or multiple coats, 5: goes on my lower lashes smoothly, with lash separation, 6: does not smudge under my eye. 7: does not make my lashes overly stiff. After trying lash extensions, magnetic and glue false lashes, as well as dozens and dozens of luxury and drugstore mascaras, I had thought such a holy grail did not exist. Then I saw a online article about Heroine Make waterproof mascara, so I gave it a try. This mascara is the BEST! It does EVERYTHING I want and need. There is no 'chemically' smell either. I now get comments all the time about how big my eyes look, and when I tell people it's the mascara they tell me it looks so natural! I highly recommend this product. I also recommend the Heroine Made Speedy Mascara Remover, it works perfectly. Swipe it on and the mascara comes off easily, no scrubbing, tugging or leftover mascara AT ALL! I have also noticed that both products did not dry out my lashes, quite the opposite, my lashes feel soft and supple once the mascara is off. I absolutely love this mascara and remover!It's so odd taking a picture of your eyes but trust me when I say to GET THIS PRODUCT.I've never used a mascara that's really wowed me before.. until this. I have stick straight, short Asian lashes that don't seem to stay up no matter what I do. I've tried the classic Dr. Mascara Fixer and Telescopic Mascara combination, and it was fine but never made my lashes look like this. Somehow this Heroine Mascara holds your curl and lengthens, to the point where when you take it off at the end of the day your lashes remain curled as if they were permed. I tried using just regular Neutrogena oil-free eye makeup remover to see if the remover that they include is 100% necessary. The Neutrogena takes most of it off, but leaves a little at your lash line—I only noticed the remnants when I was curling my lashes the next day and it stuck to my curler. It'll take a little more swiping with a cotton swab to really get in there and take all of it off. If that doesn't appeal to you, I recommend getting this pack with the Heroine Makeup Remover. You sweep it through your lashes and it immediately dissolves the mascara so that you can sweep it away cleanly with a cotton pad! I'm probably never trying new mascaras again after this :)I found this mascara after doing a search for mascara that wouldn't smudge. I don't wear makeup much and have always hated mascara because of how I'd get raccoon eyes. I usually just chose not to wear any at all.This stuff is the real deal! It does not smudge at all, even when I put on the remover to take it off. You really do need the remover, regular eye makeup remover or soap/wipes do nothing to take it off.Not only does it not smudge, I love the way it makes my lashes look. It's not thick and clumpy like other mascaras I've tried.really hold on to my lashes well and make them stay curled ‼️Wow! Japanese waterproof cosmetics are a game changer. This mascara is one of my favorites, especially for the summer. I wake surf and I’m in the lake a lot. It does not budge! I went looking for options after Cargo discontinued their Better Than Waterproof mascara, and this one does the trick. The remover is convenient for travel and uniquely packaged. I would definitely recommend. My only criticism would be that I prefer soft bristle brushes (as opposed to rubber). Of course, it’s just my preference!Goes on without clumps and makes your lashes super long. Does not come off or smudge at all. The included remover works quickly and application is easy.Ummm YES YOU WILL HAVE TO GET THE OIL TO ACTUALLY REMOVE THE MASCARA!!!I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way it looks and I love how once I have put one coat on, it's not going anywhere lol definitely Waterproof!I’m so glad I bought this mascara, my eyelashes look so long and fluttery. I was out somewhere until midnight, and my lashes were still curled. It can smudge if you don’t set your under eyes but otherwise it holds up well. You do 100% need the remover though, takes it off in seconds with no tugging. I’ll be buying the brown one too for more natural looks.
