No, this NEVER flakes. I wear it all day and I've never had any problems.

I hate flaky mascara, too! Like Long Pretty Lashes, this mascara has not flaked at all while I'm wearing it. If I apply to the lower lashes though, it does seem to smudge a bit by the end of the day, creating that "racoon eye" look. Overall I'm very pleased.

This mascara doesn't flake when I wear it - I wear it EVERY DAY. It is great for day to day use. I use another brand for more dramatic eyes.

i havent had that issue, and I often rub my eyes. i o notice that sometimes if it is really hot out it may smudge/run a little, but no racoon eyes like i've experienced with other mascaras

I have yet to have it flake off and I have been using this mascara for almost 10 years. Even if you put on a few coats, no flaking.

No, absolutely not. This is an amazing mascara.

just a very small amt....much less than others I've tried

It's totally flake free, I wear contacts also and had no problems even during a sweaty 11 hour work day.

I've never had a problem with it flaking. I really like this mascara.

no

From my experience, this mascara does not flake at all. It is very natural looking. Wonderful for day time. If you are looking for a night time or more dramatic eye look, this mascara may not be for you. Good luck in your new mascara search!

Almost Black.

The "Jet Brown" is a deep, rich brown

dont know i got the jet black

It's a dark brown that looks great on fair to light skin tones.

Brown / Black - I have blond hair and light eyelashes, but I think that true black mascara looks weird on my face. I like this because it's dark enough but isn't such a dramatic contrast.

It is more of a black/brown.

It's a dark brown, probably closer to the black/brown side than a "true" brown. I've honestly used both colors and don't think I have a preference for either one. I tend to go with the black more though just because it's usually easier to find.

dark brown, but not black brown

pretty basic.. I bought the brown black on accident.. intended to get the jet black... but it was still pretty dark.. maybe a little more natural looking.. :)

It is a very dark brown that looks very natural.

No it isn't but it stays on, I ran out of eye makeup remover and it took a lot of washing to get it off.

It's not water proof but stays in place. doesn't smudge or end up leaving a black shadow on your lower lid by the end of the day.

NO

It's not waterproof.

Nope!

No, it is not waterproof.

it seems tear proof but when I took a shower it came off and the primer stayed

No, this one is not water proof.

Yes its waterproof

not water proof.. but it does not smudge in high temps..

no

Definitely not waterproof

no

No it is not waterproof.

This is not a water-proof mascara. It does run when coming in contact with water. Although, a few tears won't send it running down your cheeks, but I would not recommend swimming or showering with the intent of not removing it first. It is my favorite mascara, but I wouldn't use it if you need a water-proof product on a daily basis.

No, it is not waterproof.

NO. It does smear on the bottom lashes. When I washed it off with my face wash I still had some black under the eye area so maybe you will need a gentle eye make up remover. But no, not waterproof.

Nope! Washes off with soap and water and easily runs if you cry ;)

No

Nope. it's not. Though it can withstand a bit of water - wouldn't recommend it if you're going swimming!

i think so

I tried great lash and hated it. I like my mascara to look natural. This is the only mascara I have tried that does not give you that gunky lash look.

Way better!

Love this! Used for about 15 years now. I have very long light blonde eyelashes and the brown is perfect against my irish skin a pale blue eyes. Doesnt flake or smudge, looks very natural. One heavy coat looks more dramatic than other brands but stays very flexible all day.

I've used both, and this stuff is DEFINITELY better- no clumps.

Clinique Naturally Glossy mascara is clump-free and flake-free and always looks natural.

I've used Mebeline as well. This is my favorite mascara! I have used it for about a year and experience NO clumping what-so-ever. It lasts all day and doesn't flake, clump, or look like I'm wearing a ton of mascara. I put 2 coats on, and my eyes really pop but still look very natural. You should try it- the price is very reasonable compared to many other products. I used DiorShow for a while, but it was getting costly to replace it at $30(approx.) a tube! This is definitly a great product, I would recommend it to anyone!

I think this is better than Great Lash. It isn't goopy or clumpy.

Well this mascara is extremely light. It goes on very very light and I have to use three applications to get in on in order for it to be visible. It does look nice one on, but it also smeared when I wore it on the bottom. I don't know if that helps you.

This is absolutely better. I have used great lash several times because of free give-aways, and this blows it out of the water. The only mascara I continue to buy. NEVER any clumps or flakes which is why I adore it.

Yes!! It is not waterproof

I haven't had any smudging or flaking issues.

No smudging or clumping.

No it does not smudge! It goes on very nicely with no clumps or flakes. It dries quickly. If you are looking for a big, bold look, this is probably not the product for you. But if you want natural, well defined lashes, I definitely recommend this product. I've used it off and on for 15 years (love to experiment with new products, different brands) and it is my go-to for no fuss naturally pretty lashes.

sometimes

It hasn't for me.

No. It's awesome!

This mascara did not smudge.

If you have itchy eyes that you rub at or your eyes are water (which happens to me every spring :) this will be on your under eye before you know it!!

It isn't waterproof so if it gets wet it will smudge.

I use them together constantly. I find the primer keeps the mascara on better than the mascara alone. They are a good pairing for me.

Yes! It's great to use with the lash primer. Without the primer, you get a beautiful, natural look, but with the primer, you get defined, voluminous lashes. It still doesn't clump with the primer. It's like having two lash looks in one bottle!

The point of this product is to look natural. If you added a primer, it would start to look thicker and probably be prone to clumping. So if you want a thicker look to your eyelashes, just use Clinique High Impact Mascara, and then you can save yourself the added step.

i have never used a primer

I have not used it with a primer but I bet it would work well because the formula is so clean and not clumpy.

very well, I use both every day
