What the gurus are saying

This mascara's smooth formula and hourglass brush deliver volume without the clumping or smudging that volumizers often cause. The rich black color makes lashes pop, and it holds up throughout the day without flaking or migrating into the eyes, even on camera. Those who've struggled with mascaras that smudge or clump may find this one a solid pick.

"I find that the formula goes on really smooth, it does not make my lashes look like they're clumpy. The color is really nice and black so it makes your eyelashes stand out. During the day as you're wearing this mascara it does not smudge, it does not flake or anything like that. It does not end up in your eyes later on in the day, which is a problem that I have. I also find sometimes that mascaras will get all over the place on me, but this one does not do that."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
