Best Waterproof Mascara
I have oily skin, and this mascara is the only one that stays on all day with no smudging. Even for my wedding, I asked my makeup artist to use my personal mascara, and it didn’t fail me. The best waterproof mascara on the market.

worst mascara I've ever used
bought this because it was the only waterproof option available after extreme dimension was discontinued, big mistake. clumpy when wet, crumbly when dry, hard to apply and even harder to remove. I tried using a different brush, wiping off excess product, manually combing apart my lashes after application, but it just looks and feels bad no matter what I try.

Thanks for taking the time to share your review of MACStack Waterproof Mascara. We understand this formula missed the mark, and want to help you in your search for the perfect lash look. Take a look at Extended Play Gigablack Mascara for an alternative. This delivers a smudgeproof (although not waterproof), longwearing and clump-free look: bit.ly/MACExtendedPlayGigablack.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been trying out the MAC Stack Elevated Mascara, and it really lives up to its reputation. The formula is super lightweight, which makes it perfect for layering without that heavy, clumpy feeling some mascaras give. I love that I can build it up depending on the look I’m going for. One coat for a soft, everyday lift, or multiple coats for bold, dramatic volume. The wand design is a game changer. It separates and lengthens my lashes so well, and I notice that it actually lifts them without needing to curl as much. It holds throughout the day without smudging or flaking, which is a huge win for me. If you’re looking for a mascara that gives you that “wide-eyed, lifted lash” effect while still feeling weightless, MAC Stack Elevated is definitely worth the hype. Highly recommend if you want versatile, buildable lashes with staying power! Full disclosure, I received this product for free from MAC COSMETICS for testing and review purposes.

Love Waterproof for my straight lashed
This mascara holds the curl. Does not flake, but it will clump a little so just go slow on application (hence 4 stars). I only wear waterproof because my lashes never stayed curled.

I have to wear waterproof mascara at all times and this is the best waterproof mascara I have ever used. It lengthens my lashes and they look full.

Stain
When lining and blinking, it has left me with spots on my eyelid and under my eye.
