Trish McEvoy High Volume Tubular Mascara in Shade Jet Black

Everything it claims. Easy to apply, washes off with water

Love this mascara- doesn’t smudge under my eyes!!

I’ve been using this Trish McEvoy product for years. I only use it on my lower lashes since I have lash extensions on the uppers. Smudgy mascara is the worst!! This product is a marvel of mascara tech with these little tubes that form with application. They’re long-lasting but easy to remove even with the lash cleanser I use for my extensions! And it never smudges! The product does give nice volume to my lower lashes that are nearly blonde but if super volume is what you’re looking for, not sure this is the product for you. But for me, I always have a tube (and currently 2 unopened ones) for my makeup drawer and travel makeup kit. Did I mention it never smudges?!!

I bought this because I was looking for a small/travel size tubing mascara. I currently use blinc, and it only comes in full size. I figured I would try this one since I barely go through a full tube every six months. Anyway, it’s a bit more expensive than blinc but I figured it would be worth it for a luxury brand item. Wow I am in complete shock at how terrible this mascara is. It’s thick and sorta dry. It doesn’t separate the lashes individually so you end up with the spidery-goopy eyelash clumps. You have to use a separate mascara brush afterward to fix the way it looks. It’s truly awful and I cannot understand how it’s highly rated at all. I missed my return window on this unfortunately, because I used it twice and went back to blinc. I wish I could get my money back because it’s truly garbage but it’s my fault for forgetting. Please try this in a store before purchasing because it’s really that bad. A part of me wonders if I got a bad tube but a few of the reviews complain about the exact same issues I’m experiencing. Blinc tubing mascara is so much better it’s not even close. Please don’t buy this …

Why this mascara? 1. It brushes on nicely. It creates tubes so your lashes get longer…just layer it on, you will see. 2. It does not smudge. I had a work colleague who always had smudges under her eyes. I finally told her, try Trish McEvoy’s mascara. I thought she might get offended, but it turns out she had been looking for a better mascara. She switched and was never smudgy afterwards. 3. My favorite reason to buy it is that it comes off with water! In tubes…so again, you don’t end up with shadows under your eyes.

I love this mascara---it looks very good on me, but the best part is---it's a breeze to take off. I'll admit---there are better looking mascaras (on me) out there, but this is a definite winner because all you need to wash it off is just warm water and that is it! I tried different tubing mascaras and I have to say that this one has the best price to quality ration. I tried Trish McEvoy High Volume Mascara (http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00132FPFY/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and Trish McEvoy Lash Curling Mascara (this curent product). These are defiantly superior to Kevyn Aucoin Volume Mascara (this one) but the price is much higher. I can not say that the quality out ways having to pay ~50$ for Trish McEvoy. I tried Blinc Mascaras in black and purple (http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B001MUNBZS/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and I have to say that even though these are cheaper---I don't like them at all! These are very runny and don't amplify lashes at all, but rather glue them together. I'm done with Blinc. Kevyn Aucoin Volume Mascara (http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0014LLC3I/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1) provides just the right amount of lash amplification, with out lumps and clumps. It also allows for proper lash separation and stay on all day. My main reason for using tubing mascaras----it is how easy to take it off---you just wash your face with warm water and the mascara rolls off in little clumps. No more raccoon eyes!

I’ve used this brand for years but this seemed old and dried out pretty quickly.

I bought this mascara after reading all the positive reviews. It's certainly an improvement from the Loreal Voluminous mascara I was using but it's no holy grail. Here's what I like about this mascara: It absolutely will never smudge. This is a big issue with most mascaras because by the afternoon I'll have ugly dark smudges under my eyes. Then I'll rub off what I can of the melted mascara taking my under eye makeup with it leaving my purple under eye circles visible creating a dark mess. This mascara stays put. I've slept in it, swam in it, in hot and cold water, and it never smudges. When I swim in it, it doesn't smudge but it does flake off which is fine with me. If I don't go swimming, this mascara stays looking freshly applied all day, even after a nap. The cons: 1. You must apply it very carefully and ideally comb your lashes with an eyelash comb after application, otherwise it will glue your lashes together and it won't be pretty. 2. It doesn't particularly add to the volume of my lashes as the name would suggest. My old Loreal Voluminous was great for adding thickness and volume, so I miss that. 3. It doesn't hold a curl very well. I always curl my lashes before applying mascara and when I put this mascara on it immediately weighs down my lashes and I lose half the curl. The other half stays though, so my lashes are half-way curled all day. So, all in all I feel like there must be a better mascara out there that would not smudge, not glue my lashes together, add volume and thickness and hold a curl. But for now I'm just happy to find a mascara that doesn't smudge. If non-smudging is your #1 mascara requirement - this is a good option.
