New favorite mascara!

Obsessed! I don’t know how else to say that I love this mascara. I got the waterproof just because I’m used to waterproof, but I have the sample of the regular and it’s just as great. Neither smear or run.

Looks okay but ends up smudged around my eyes after a few hours, especially on hot days, so I don't think its particularly waterproof.

Hi! This has happened to me when the mascaras are old, they seem to gum up a little faster than other mascaras I've tried....What I've heard works well is putting the entire tube in warm to hot water for a few minutes before using it, but if you're like me that's too much work. I've put in a couple drops of eye make-up remover in the bottle and mixing it up and it makes it like new! Would have never known it gummed up in the first place! Hope this helps :)

I love Lights Camera Lashes, so when the mascaras went on sale, I decided to try the Lights Camera Splashes, since I was going on vacation, and waterproofing was a good option. They are not even remotely the same, and I don't get the full, voluminous lashes w/Splashes as I have with the Lashes formula. It makes almost no difference at all, like I'm not even wearing mascara.

Tarte Expert Staff on Jan 20, 2021

How I suggest using this mascara is, for the a little less than 1 week, I remove the excess mascara from the wand with a clean tissue. Afterwards, you will note that this mascara applies really well, with little or no clumping at all. Stays on all day. Has enough product in the tube to last over 3 months, but you need to dispose of your mascaras afterwards since you do not want to encounter any bacterial infection to your pretty peepers. It's really waterproof so I suggest removing it with an oil-based ophthalmologist-tested eye makeup remover. No raccoon eyes, doesn't smudge, little to no flakes, lasts all day long. Elongates your lashes and gives tons of volume! I get lots of compliments on my lashes ever since using this mascara. I really suggest it!

It did for me a little when I applied it to my bottom lashes, but try "blinking through" the application process. So instead of pushing the mascara on, hold it in one place and blink slowly to move your lashes over the brush. That seems to help with the clumping bit.

I find this mascara to go on pretty smoothly with little to no clumping. I have been using it for several years and it is my “go to” product as it stays on until I take it off, and it does not cause “raccoon eyes” . I highly recommend.

It goes on pretty heavy when it’s new. It doesn’t clump but the effect is enhanced nicely if you run a lash comb through after you apply. Can get a little clumpy when it’s getting dried out but that’s how you know to get a new one!

Only when getting towards the end of the product life (only a little product left). I find that happens with most mascaras on the market anyway. This is a great waterproof mascara for the summer.

I do not find this clumps at all. Just apply in a smooth, brush-through motion. I would not “zig-zag” the brush much with this formula or it will apply too much product.

Is this sweatproof?

RebeccaWrong on Nov 6, 2019

BEST ANSWER: For me at least, it stays put pretty well. In fact, I have to use something oil based to get it off. If you're looking for sweat proof, this will probably fit the bill for you. Be careful to let it dry before applying your setting spray, though.

Madoka on Nov 17, 2019

BEST ANSWER: Definitely add powder! If not around your entire eye area, then at least to the lashes themselves. Unless your foundation is oil-free, the oils in it literally act like makeup remover (which are mostly made of oils!) and start to dissolve your mascara.
