With 10x the volume from bare lashes, there's no smudging or clumping - just long, full eyelashes that stay put all day! It seems that most mascaras have very little in common between their regular and waterproof formulas, so if it's the formula you like, you might be disappointed if you switch from one to the other. You won’t find me scrubbing them loose with washcloths or wipes, I stick to oil-based removers and I treat them with castor oil regularly. Pro-tip: Pair with Covergirl Perfect Point Plus Eyeliner for extra contrast that brings your eyes out even more.

The downside of the blunt ended brush with short bristles is that it's hard to get all the tiny lashes in the corners of my eyes or to get right to the roots of my lashes, especially on the back/top side of them (which I always coat, because they are blond, and they will look two-toned otherwise).Good Housekeeping participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may get paid commissions on editorially chosen products purchased through our links to retailer sites. The most noticeably different formula is the 24 Hr which seems to be made of house paint (I kid, it’s oil-based rather than water-based; very very longwearing, but does not claim to be waterproof). After all of the mascaras I've tried, I can assure you that more mascaras than not leave my lashes looking as straight as they were before.

Probably the strongest recommendation for this mascara that I can give you is the fact that, despite trying many dozens of other mascaras over the years, I have bought at least one tube of Covergirl Lashblast Volume annually for almost a decade now--and in several of those years I bought multiple tubes.In my experience, the 24 Hour version has the widest mouth – this allows more product to remain on the wand – hence this is why I find the 24 Hr one to be the most clumpy of all of the LashBlast.
