Q: Does it smudge on people who wear around eye moisturizer? Thanks.

submitted by sunshine - 4 years ago
  • A: I've not had that issue and I'm wearing moisturizer plus sunscreen under my eyes. I don't think you'll have any issues with this. I would suggest keeping a lash comb near by as it can go on clumpy a bit. Overall, really good for a budget mascara!

    submitted byGTO Mama - 4 years ago
  • A: it is super clumpy for me and I never wear any other makeup just mascara and it smudges for no reason and I never touch my eyes so idk what it is but yea

    submitted byJordyn - 2 years ago
  • A: Hi Summer! The essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara has a long lasting formula that leaves lashes free from flaking, fading or wear. Hope this helps :)

Q: Is this mascara longwearing? I have oily skin and dont want it to rub off under my eyes.

submitted by targetlover - 1 year ago
  • A: Hi there! This is a great mascara for length and volume but does not specifically have a long wear claim. I would suggest the waterproof version of this as it does not budge!

Q: What is the best eye makeup remover to use with this (lotion, cream, etc.)? I have sensitive eyes and find this is still on after using my eye makeup remover. Thanks!

submitted by GTO Mama - 4 years ago
  • A: Hi GTO Mama! We would recommend trying a micellar water. Apply it first to a cotton pad or round, and then use to remove the mascara. They are typically very gentle and work well. hope this helps!

Q: is this waterproof?

submitted by Scorpius24 - 4 years ago

    This was not sealed in any way. The bristles looked clumpy, not smooth like a fresh mascara should look. I suspected that someone might have opened the container a few times to swatch it, and the mascara clumped up on the wand because of that. I looked it up and Essence does not seal any of their mascaras or lip products. This is not something I want to put on my eyes.

    I agree that this is a great mascara, especially for the price, but I threw it away after a month because no matter what face wash, eye makeup remover, or makeup eraser I used, it was still on my eyelashes. This is kind of a pet peeve so I wouldn't buy it again

    I think I'm the only one in the world that hates this mascara. Doesn't stay on, smudges and flames off even though I'm not touching my face. Didn't think it was up to the hype. Milani is a better brand for me.

    Nice lengthening and stayed on well. What I noticed that over time it began to pull out my eyelashes. So I just use to touch up. Can’t have lashes here and there removed. Stopped buying.

    Length, volume, curl, separation, everything!!! This is so effortless to apply, I can feel the quality right away from the first swipe. Life changing for your makeup routine if you want fluttery princess lashes everyday. The fact that this is a fraction of other mascara prices is just the cherry on top. Has a cult following for a reason!

    I have been using this mascara brand for years. I try new brands every so often, but I always come back to this. It really gives my lashes volume. It can be difficult to remove but it is worth it. Also, my eyes are very sensitive and I do not have any issues using this mascara.
