Everyone has different lashes – straight, curly, long or short so, finding a mascara can be a chore. I have short, straight, almost non-existent lashes, making it hard for me to review mascaras.

I’m envious when I see beauty gurus online with naturally long lashes applying mascara and achieving amazing results. For me, finding a mascara that produces a visible result is a huge accomplishment. The first mascara that worked great for me was Cover Girl Professional mascara. A few years back, I discovered the L’Oreal Voluminous line. There have been so many great offspring of the original version that it’s hard to keep up. Some have worked for me;while other have not. The L’Oreal Voluminous line tends to have a somewhat inky, dry formula that allows it to add volume. L’Oreal’s Full Definition performed so well on me, I kept repurchasing it until it was unfortunately discontinued.

I heard of L’Oreal Superstar mascara and was eager to see if the primer would help my lashes look fuller. To my amazement, the primer adds visible volume and definition to the lashes. The fiber mascara itself produces considerable length to my lashes. Here’s my own litmus test: If after I apply the mascara, my lashes touch the lens of my glasses, I know a measurable impact occurred. This happens every time I apply this mascara!

The brush is the standard L’Oreal Voluminous curved wand. The formula is thick but doesn’t appear clumpy on the lashes. Reviewers with longer lashes have complained that the primer makes the lashes difficult to separate and clump together slightly. For me, the mascara applies smoothly and leaves lashes evenly defined. Recently on a hot day outside, I did notice some slight flaking. The waterproof version may not have the same problem.
