DHC Mascara Perfect Pro Double Protection, Black, .17 oz (5g) Net wt.

This mascara is the best I have had. It does not clump up and smudge. The application is very smooth and it gives more of natural look rather than artificially creating unnatural volume. It is a little pricy for the amount you get, but I love the product. It is also water-proof and it does not run under my eyes even if I sweat, but it is easily removed with face wash. It is well worth the money!

I love it! Since moving to Memphis, my regular water-proof mascaras were smudging and giving me raccoon eyes like crazy! (Must be the humidity.) I have used Blinc in the past, but $30 a tube is CRAZY for this mom of 5. I tried the Loreal tube mascara and it works, but it's a drier formula and the brush is too big for my lashes. (I can't get close to the lash line.)The brush is small and great w/ DHC! It's tiny and I can get ALL my lashes. It made my eyes look like doll eyelashes. I tried it for the 1st time yesterday to my son's baseball game in 88 degree weather. No flaking, smudging, or raccoon eyes! I do use ELF's cheap mascara primer 1st, just like you have to do with the Loreal tube mascara. I feel like it adds some volume and extra length.It's only May. As it gets warmer here and the humidity really begins to pick up, I will give an update, but so far I am really impressed!

I have blonde eyelashes and oily eyelids, so if I don't want to look like an albino I have to tint my lashes, and when I do it usually makes it look like I'm still in my goth phase that ended about ten years ago.I've tried just about everything on the market, drug store and high end. The problems I always ran into were thus... Sure my mascara would look great when first put on, but within an hour I'd be getting transfer to my lids both top and bottom. I was allergic to several formulas as well. And worst of all, many of them were so hard to take off, even with oils, that I'd lose eyelashes in the process of just getting my face clean. What a pain!I heard of this particular mascara through Lisa Eldridge on Youtube. I've used some of DHC's skincare products before and they seemed fine, but I guess I'd never really considered their makeup. Part of that is because they are NOT drugstore priced and there wasn't much for reviews or demos of the products either. Skeptical as I am of trying any product when I haven't seen someone else use it, I'm even more so when it costs three or four times what I pay for things I can walk down the street to a CVS to buy.I have to say, Lisa's use of it really did impress me, and even more so that she has used it several times. I loved the look of it, and when I finally got fed up and started looking for SOME solution to my raccoon problem I started seeing a lot of talk about tubing mascaras. It took a while for me to sorta connect the dots but when I realized that this mascara that Lisa had used not only looked great and performed well enough for her to recommend it, but that it was also geared specifically for people like me who want something that stays on but washes off easily, I snapped this right up.My general impressions of the product itself are thus...- The first thing you will notice is that the tube and wand are both fairly petite. I like this because I feel it gives more control and isn't like a brick in a bag (see: CG Lashblast).- In terms of application, it feels fairly wet going on but dries very quickly. I think it works best, particularly if you have light lashes, to coat the tops of the lashes first and then get the sides that show with your eyes open. This forms a more complete 'tube' which I feel prevents flaking, makes lashes look fuller, and prevents flashes of blonde when you blink.- The look of it is more toward length than volume, but the formula is not thin either. I think it is well-balanced and definitely doesn't need more than one coat for a nice "lashy" look without being clumpy, still relatively natural.- This stuff doesn't budge! I have yet to have it flake or transfer at all, even after 10 hours in a hot kitchen. If you get your face pretty wet it might start to come off, but it doesn't do it in a runny way, just little clumps that can easily be wiped off.- Removal is really easy and I don't find I have to use a separate remover for it. I wet down my face thoroughly with warm water, use whatever cleanser I feel like at the time, and just in the process of getting the rest of my face clean the mascara tubes peel off. It basically looks like little clumps of black goo which don't seem to stain or transfer pigment anywhere, it just washes down the drain. Any straggling bits still clinging to lashes wipe right away with fingers or just about anything else. You won't end up with mascara residue on showing up on your face the next morning, the stuff really is gone.

I only use tubing mascaras and this one performs as expected--stays on all day and removes with only water and rubbing. I mostly like the shape and size of the brush--much better than the larger Blinc brushes--but I really wish it had bristles at the end to make lower lash application easier. The formula is very thin (similar to the original Blinc, much thinner than Blinc Amplified) and the brush picks up way too much product, so I have to spend a lot of time knocking as much product off the brush as possible so that my lashes aren't just a gooey clump, but the shape of the bottle does not make this easy to do. It takes 1-2 minutes to dry fully, at which point you really cannot apply another coat or break apart clumps easily.This mascara is very black and is good at volumizing, good at holding a curl all day (I always use an eyelash curler before applying), but not very lengthening. It easily lasts all day with little flaking and holds up even if my lashes get wet. Removal requires much more rubbing than Blinc did--it is easiest to remove in the shower by simply turning your face into the shower head for a few seconds, but if you remove it by washing your face in the sink expect to massage your eyes for longer in order to get all of it off. I recommend using a lash comb after removing to make sure all the product has come off.Overall, I prefer DHC over Blinc, but I am going to keep looking since the thin product makes application difficult and inconsistent. It's a really good mascara but it's not quite my HG.

No smudging no budging and little clumping. This mascara is awesome. My go to brand was discontinued so I went in the hunt for a truly waterproof and smudge proof mascara. Lots of mascaras make these claims, but I have small hooded eyes and I’m a contact lens wearer, so very few actually did what they said.This mascara is wonderful though. It stays on all day. The only con is it starts to flake after about 14 hours, but the flakes are way easier to wipe away than smudges. Plus, 14 hours is a long time! It can clump up if you’re not careful. You have to apply additional coats while it’s still wet to avoid this and it does dry pretty quickly.The brush is super small which is very very helpful for my small eyes and blonde eyelashes. I would recommend this product to anyone.
