Is this mascara waterproof?

No. It is a regular washable formula, so it can smudge with tears, sweat or humidity. Use a waterproof mascara if you need all-day hold in water.

How does it compare with the original Voluminous?

The formula is the same volume-building one; the difference is the curved brush, which is shaped to lift and separate lashes as it coats them.

How many coats should I use?

Two to three coats give full volume. More than that can clump, so let each coat set briefly before adding the next.

Use an oil-based eye makeup remover or cleansing balm and gentle pressure. Rubbing with water alone leaves residue.

What is in the formula?

It contains Panthenol and Ceramide-R, which are included to condition and protect lashes. It is not marketed as a lash growth product.

Does it work on short or sparse lashes?

The curved brush reaches small lashes and builds thickness, but it adds volume rather than length. Those wanting length should look at a lengthening formula.

Our take on the L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Original Curved Brush Mascara

L'Oréal Voluminous Original is a volume-building mascara with a curved brush that thickens, lifts and separates lashes. The formula uses Panthenol and Ceramide-R to condition lashes and is built to resist clumping and flaking. It suits shoppers who want a full, bold lash look without a fiber-heavy formula. Against tubing and waterproof rivals it is easier to remove, but it is not water-resistant and can smudge on oily lids.
