What the gurus are saying

Gurus consistently rank this as a top drugstore mascara staple, praising its curved wand for easy application, strong hold throughout the day, and ability to build volume without clumping. The formula separates lashes well, doesn't smudge or flake, and works equally for natural everyday looks or more glammed-up applications. It's a repeat reach-for favorite that delivers noticeably fuller, more defined lashes at an accessible price point.

"I have a forever obsession with the Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara. This one isn't waterproof, but I don't think you need the waterproof version. It is so good at lifting, lengthening, adding fullness to the lashes without them looking clumpy. If you need a drugstore option, this is fantastic. It has this beautiful, perfectly curled little wand. It doesn't put too much product on your lashes. It holds all day. It keeps your lashes curled. Just cannot say enough good things about this mascara."

"This is the Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara, my most used mascara by far. It's probably what I have on in like 85 of my YouTube videos. I personally cannot put on false eyelashes, I just don't have that magic touch, so if I'm going to be filming or on camera or going to an event or I just want my eyelashes to pop as much as possible, in my lack of skills in applying false eyelashes this is as close as I can get. Part of it is the formula but I also think part of it is the brush. It has this little curve and you can really wiggle it and get up into the lashes. It gives me great volume and a little bit of length. My eyelashes are already pretty long but they're sparse, so something that thickens them and gives that sort of full fan effect without looking super clumpy, which I hate that look, this is amazing. It also doesn't transfer, which is really important. Over the course of the day I don't find that I see fallout or flaking below. It's a very reliable mascara."

I’ve Tried THOUSANDS—The Drugstore Makeup I Always Repurchase
"This is the Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara and it is such a phenomenal everyday mascara. For me it has been a staple because it really just gives you soft and fluffy lashes. You can see how it separates, it lengthens, but it's not clumpy at all. I can build it up if I want to, but it really ends up being something that I reach for on a daily basis when I just want like a little natural definition with my lashes. It also wears beautifully on me, it doesn't smudge or flake, which is key. It's hands down my most used drugstore mascara. I can't live without this, like genuinely, it's too good."

"For mascara we're going to do a drugstore favorite of mine, this is the Maybelline Lash Sensational. For an everyday look I'm not going to layer it up too too much and I'm going to focus it mostly on the top lashes. I'm just going to do basically one layer for just a bit of definition. I like having a bit of mascara on the lower lashes."

I love the curved wand and it has a little bit of a grippier formula, so I'm really able to get in there and it holds my lashes up. I feel like I'm able to build it up. This is great for every day all the way up to a glam look. It's just one of my all-time favorites. I will never not have one of these."

"I just pop on a little bit of mascara. Today I'm going to use the Maybelline Lash Sensational. And I like to focus just a bit of that on like the top lashes mostly, but I personally am a lower lash mascara kind of a gal. So I do pop a bit of that on the lower lashes as well."
