Milani Highly Rated Mascara Black - 0.4 fl oz

I have repurchased Milani Highly Rated mascara four or five times now; I've been using it since its release and haven't felt the need to try or use a different mascara since. I have long lashes with average thickness, but they are quite straight and WILL NOT hold a curl. I've tried so many different mascaras, heated curlers, etc--Milani Highly Rated is the only mascara I've ever used that'll hold the curl in my lash right up until I take my makeup off! Years later and sometimes I still can't believe it how incredibly this mascara holds a curl--just WOW. This mascara does a fabulous job of helping to give you that ethereal and romantic aesthetic--it makes your lashes look and feel incredibly feathery and light; gives a fluttery, flirty look. I've never enjoyed lashes that were too 'thick', and I don't like clumpy or spidery lash looks. If that IS the look you're going for, however, you could 100% achieve it with this mascara really easily--it's a versatile product. It's not at all waxy and it has a decent 'grip' to it. The ONE negative quality of this mascara--not a negative for me personally, but potentially for most other mascara wearers--is that when you build it up, it does flake easily. You CAN build it up, definitely, and it looks gorgeous when you do, but you have to comb through very quickly after applying while the mascara is still as wet as possible. If you comb through this mascara when it's dry, it WILL flake, and it'll flake a LOT--that's the only reason I'm not giving this product five stars. Other than that--and I wouldn't call this a negative, it's just a characteristic of the mascara--it doesn't provide hyper-definition. It defines your lashes, sure, all mascaras do, but it is a subtle definition and separation. For ME this product is five stars, but I realize I'm not in the majority of mascara wearers here applying only one very light coat; most people apply two coats (or more). For a quick one-and-done, though, it is truly remarkable at giving natural looking definition and fullness, nice length, and it *really* holds a curl well!

I like the volume the mascara gives you it does come off easily when rubbed on any fabric. I had to toss the full product because the gold on the lid was peeling and spreading all over my face and make up bag.

Ehhh its okay good for younger kids

have to work it in more than any other mascara i’ve used and was immediately too dry. after 3 uses it was a dry, crumbly mess and had to get rid of it. i feel like i used it years ago and the formula was better and the reason i repurchased. just try another

I purchased this mascara about 2 months ago and the gold wrapping on the mascara tube peels off into a bunch of tiny pieces and gets everywhere. I tried wipe off what i could and use the mascara again but gold flakes fell into my eye. Not only was it painful, I messed up my makeup right before work trying to blink out the stupid pieces. Definitely going to try to get a refund.

Can’t wait to use it while applying my makeup on.

This is a great mascara and it's so affordable. When they go on sale I stock up.

I love this whole line and especially their mascaras. Clean, cruelty free and so easy to smoothly apply.

Goes on smoothly, no clumps, long brush, really extends my lashes.

My wife love Milani mascara I always buy it for her on every occasion

This mascara works amazing,my lashes look so full& long.I get so many compliments .

This mascara is amazing! I am totally in love with it and it's my "Go To" when I don't use my Milani Tubing mascara!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mascara gives the volume that I need for my long eye lashes. No smudging or flakes from this mascara. Other brand mascaras always give me the racoon eyes at the end of the day. Not Milani!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the mascara, dark, thick, but not clumpy. Makes my eyes pop

I love this mascara it serves its purpose of making my thin lashes long and luxurious

Great mascara. doesnt flake like some of the higher priced ones i've had. I have rlatively sensitive skin and eyes, and it doesnt make my eyes burn when it gets in my eyes. Does pretty decent (though not 100%) at not giving me raccoon eyes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best mascara out there. It makes my lashes so full and beautiful!
