Eye Makeup Review: Maybelline Define-A-Lash Mascara

I got Maybelline’s Define-A-Lash mascara in #601 Very Black and I’m trying a new makeup rating system for mascaras, so check it out:

lengthening: 5/5
Wow! Define-A-Lash made my eyelashes look a half-inch longer. Seriously!

separating: 4/5
My lashes were well-defined, but the mascara didn’t find all of them. Try this instead: L’Oreal Paris Telescopic Mascara

curling: 5/5
An unexpected bonus! My lashes reached for the sky.

volumizing: 2/5
The only disappointment: it doesn’t plump very much. Try this instead: Dior Diorshow Mascara

The verdict: 8/10 – Who cares about volume? Defined, nicely shaped lashes are way better in my opinion. Pick it up at Amazon for only $6.97.

P.S. Do you like the new grading? I think it’s clearer for mascaras at least. Help me think of how to use it for other kinds of makeup!
