Quiz: Discover Your Perfect Mascara

1/5

What is your desired mascara effect?

1. Maybelline Great Lash

Maybelline Great Lash I know that seeing this mascara on the list of worst mascaras will be big shock for some of you ladies. I know it’s a classic and it has legions of fans but not everyone seems to agree. People have described this mascara as smudgy, flaky and difficult to remove. It’s also been faulted with drying out too quickly so if you’re new to Great Lash, keep these user's tips in mind before you buy!

***

On the upside, if you do decide to give Great Lash a whirl, remember that it's a budget-friendly option that has been around since the '70s. It's often lauded for its classic pink-and-green packaging and its ability to provide a natural look for those not seeking dramatic volume. However, as some beauty aficionados point out, it may not live up to the current-day expectations set by newer, more advanced formulas. For a tried and true product, its place in the beauty hall of fame is secure, but it might not be the mascara for the modern makeup maven.

2. NYX Faux Lashes Boudoir

NYX Faux Lashes Boudoir Another popular brand that got the worst mascara award is NYX with their Faux Lashes Boudoir mascara. The product description says the formula is infused with fibers to lengthen lashes and is great for bottom lashes, too bad users don't agree! Ladies described this mascara as clumpy, runny and smudging very easily. NYX isn’t exactly famous for their mascaras, so if you’re new to the brand, head on over to their lip products and eye shadows, they are so much better!

3. Benefit BADgal Lash

Benefit BADgal Lash It might be a shocker to see Benefit’s BADgal Lash on this list of worst mascaras but it is! While BADgal Lash has a lot of fans, there are plenty of critics out there as well. BADgal Lash has been described as being too wet, smudgy, too natural-looking and clumpy. BADgal has its fair share of admirers so this one might be worth a try, but since it’s on the pricier side at $19.00, proceed with caution!

***

Benefit BADgal Lash is a mascara that has gained a lot of attention for its high price tag of $19.00. However, many customers have reported that the mascara is too wet, smudgy, and clumpy, making it difficult to apply. Additionally, some customers have found the results to be too natural looking for their preference. Despite its popularity, Benefit BADgal Lash has earned a spot on the list of worst mascaras to steer clear of. Before making a purchase, it is important to read customer reviews and take into consideration the potential drawbacks of this expensive mascara.

4. Wet N Wild MegaPlump

Wet N Wild MegaPlump A mascara that promises to provide up to 5x volume can’t be a low-rated mascara, right? Wet n Wild’s MegaPlump seemed like a promising product for under $5.00, but based on the product's poor reviews, it’s hardly even worth the low price! MegaPlump was called clumpy, thin, flaky and drying, none of which we want in a mascara! No one really had any good things to say about this mascara so it’s probably safe to say you’re not missing out on anything if you pass on this one!

5. Revlon DoubleTwist

Revlon DoubleTwist Revlon’s DoubleTwist is unfortunately another bad mascara. This mascara received some positive comments for its lengthening and separating qualities. But, there was an overwhelming number of bad reviews that placed it on this mascara hit list! Smudging, flaking and a bad brush design were all to blame for its lackluster performance.

6. Stila Forever Your Curl Memory

Stila Forever Your Curl Memory Stila might the queen of the crème blush and lip glazes, but Forever Your Curl ended up being one of the worst mascaras. Forever Your Curl said that it would be long-wearing and instantly curl lashes, but the lack of rave reviews says otherwise! Some ladies had some good things to say about it, like how it defined and lengthened, but it was also called runny, smudgy and flaky.

7. Rimmel Glam Eyes Day2Night

Rimmel Glam Eyes Day2Night Rimmel is responsible for this next low-rated mascara. The Glam Eyes Day2Night mascara features these two cool caps for lengthening and volume. While the tube looks like it can do some serious double duty action, users called this mascara thin, messy and said that it didn't provide any fullness or length. Rimmel makes pretty decent mascaras, too bad this one wasn’t very useful!

Rimmel makes pretty decent mascaras, too bad this one wasn’t very useful! Even though the design aims to offer versatility, the performance fell short of expectations, leaving many users disappointed with its lackluster results. For those seeking both length and volume, this might not be the right choice.

8. Maybelline Define-a-Lash Waterproof

Maybelline Define-a-Lash Waterproof We had to include a waterproof formula of bad mascara on this list, and Define-a-lash was the unlucky one! This mascara actually won Allure’s Beauty Editors’ Choice award but surprisingly, got bad reviews. Mascara lovers said that the formula was dry, hard to remove and clumped soon after applying it. Maybelline makes tons of other winning formulas so don’t be discouraged if this one let you down!

Have you ever used any of these worst mascaras? I’m pretty obsessed with mascara so unfortunately I have used some of these bad guys, but I’ve also used plenty of amazing ones too! What’s the worst mascara you’ve ever tried? Is there any feature about a mascara that’s a deal breaker for you?

One question, how is "too natural-looking" a bad thing?

Okay bad gal lash is definitely one of my favorites, but it is too pricey.

My favorite mascara is Clinique waterproof! It's amazing! No clumps or flakes and it still comes off easily while making my lashes gorgeous!

I'd hav to agree with some of these but day2night is my favorite mascara since I hav short blonde lashes
