The new Maybelline Sky High Mascara, everyone and their Mom seems to be raving about it online at the moment. I can't even scroll through tiktok without seeing several reviews for the damn thing, all of which were hailing it as the best thing since sliced bread - so obviously I had to try it out for myself!
Now when it comes to mascaras I have pretty high standards. I've tried out tens of different products over the years so I'd like to think I know exactly what makes a good mascara, and what really doesn't. So what did I think of new Maybelline offering? Not that much if I'm honest.
Maybelline Sky High Mascara, why I hate it...
Pros
We'll get on to the bad in a second but lets start on a positive note shall we? The mascara isn't all bad, in fact there are a few things I actually like about the Sky High Mascara.
- It's affordable. At roughly £10 a pop the product is reasonably priced.
- Nice packaging. The Sky High Mascara looks good, and wouldn't be out of place on a dressing table.
- It's intensely black. The product is a deep black which is something I really like in a mascara.
Cons
From the title alone I'm sure you can tell there are going to be quite a few of these.
- Consistency isn't thick enough - This makes it quite hard to build the product up.
- Brush is too flexible - The brush bends when applying the mascara meaning it can be tricky to use.
- Product doesn't give lashes enough thickness - Leaves lashes looking long and spider like instead of full.
- Takes a while to dry - And sometimes transfers on to the skin around the eyes even once fully dried.
- Doesn't hold and lashes drop after a few hours.
So would I try it again? Honestly not a chance. Although the majority of people who try the Maybelline Sky High Mascara seem to fall in love with it, I just could not get on with it at all. The consistency is weak, the brush is wildly bendy, and while it leaves my lashes looking long, the thickness just isn't there.
Which Mascaras would I recommend? I'm glad you asked because there are 3 mascaras that immediately come to mind.
- Too Faced Better Than Sex £22.00
- Maybelline Lash Sensational £9.99 (a personal favourite)
So save your pennies and spend them on one of the mascaras above if you want long, thick lashes that last all day because I'm sorry to say that's not what you'll get with Sky High!
What did you think of the Maybelline Sky High Mascara? Was it worth the hype?
Thanks for reading!
