Ideal Mascara

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the waterproof version of the M·A·CStack Mascara every day for about a week now, and overall I’m really impressed with it. The first thing I noticed was how buildable it is — one coat gives a more natural, lifted look, but adding extra coats made my lashes look noticeably fuller and longer without getting super clumpy. I also liked that the formula held a curl all day, even during humid weather and long days out. Since it’s waterproof, it stayed put really well and didn’t smudge under my eyes, which is usually a problem for me with other mascaras. The brush is also great for reaching smaller lashes in the corners without making a mess. One downside is that it can feel a little difficult to remove at the end of the day, even with makeup remover, so I had to be careful not to rub my eyes too much. After layering several coats, it also started to feel slightly heavy on my lashes. Still, for a waterproof mascara, it gives a really pretty dramatic look while lasting all day, and I can definitely see myself continuing to use it. I received this product for free from MAC Cosmetics for testing and review purposes.

New favorite mascara!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] M·A·C Stack Smudge-Proof Volumizing + Lengthening Waterproof Mascara has been my go-to for a couple of weeks now and with good reasons! It's an intense black mascara with a comb that grabs individual lashes with ease to build volume and length. My lashes don't weigh down when I apply it and, because of the formula being waterproof, it holds the curl and shape after a full day of wear. It's so comfortable and lightweight without enduring that feeling of stiff lashes that other waterproof mascaras have given me in the past. Also, amazed that even on the most humid and hot days, there was no fear of smudging at all! A breeze to remove with micellar water and/or oil cleanser/balm. I was impressed all around and definitely recommend it! I received this product for free from MAC Cosmetics for testing and review purposes.
