Reviews about Givenchy Noir Couture 4 in 1 Waterproof Mascara

This mascara was my biggest disappointment! I bought it based on the recommendation of a consultant from a well-known cosmetics store. I don't understand how this mascara can be called waterproof when it smudges on the lower eyelid just 10 minutes after application. As a result, I didn't even bother applying it to my lower lashes. By the way, I bought it for my winter beach vacation, but I didn't dare to use it as intended because a regular mascara turned out to be more reliable. Once I was wearing it and got caught in a heavy snowfall, and to my surprise, it didn't run. On a positive note, it beautifully coats the lashes and adds a decent amount of volume, but only with the first coat. Additional applications cause clumping. Unfortunately, I never found a use for this mascara.

It's unfortunate that there were no reviews when I bought this mascara. For a brand and price range like this, it is simply TERRIBLE! It does not come close to fulfilling its purpose - being waterproof! After swimming in the pool, there are smudges on both my upper and lower eyelids, and throughout the day, I constantly have to check myself in the mirror to clean up my eyelids. I bought it at the beginning of autumn for winter and the pool, and I'm afraid to imagine how this mascara will perform in the summer on a sweaty face... I do not recommend it!

The water resistance is very conditional, only protecting from rain, but if you go swimming, you'll end up looking like a panda! The brush is not very convenient, it's a matter of personal preference.

I really like this mascara. I use the regular one, but I opt for the waterproof version when going to the pool.

The mascara did not impress me; it cannot be compared to Chanel, for example. The brush's peculiar shape does not provide any noticeable effect.

It stays on great - truly waterproof! It applies smoothly, lengthens the lashes, although at first the brush feels unusual. However, it tends to flake off closer to the evening.

I was pleasantly surprised by the interesting and unusual shape of the brush. At first, it felt unfamiliar, but the advantages of this brush shape quickly became apparent. The mascara applies smoothly, and its waterproof quality has been tested and proven - everything is great! The only thing that I didn't like is that I have to check and remove a slight smudge from my upper eyelid a couple of times a day. I didn't expect such a drawback from a mascara of this level (I had already forgotten that lashes can leave fan-shaped marks on the upper eyelid, even mascaras of much lower price ranges don't have this issue anymore).
