It’s a bit crumbly and the wands bristles aren’t long enough to grab the lashes. It does a good job I’ve just had better. Not sure if it’s because it’s waterproof or what. It stays quite well and doesn’t smudge but I think Telescopic provides more length.

Probably taken over for my favourite drugstore mascara, beating out Lash Paradise. I love it. It goes on so well, no clumps, one coat is enough (pictured with two). It’s got a bouncy applicator that makes the product transfer to lashes so comfortably and well.

Okay so what I requested to review and what is pictured in the product listing doesn’t seem to be the same item I received. I’ve included a picture of the bottle because what I received is great and 10/10 wil hunt down and buy again, especially at a price point lower than $10. This is better than some of the more expensive mascaras I’ve purchased or had the opportunity to review. I included a picture of one eye with it and the other without it (sorry my eye is watering in the picture) and it’s obvious that this works well and its buildable. I really like the product I received and have every intention of buying again!

I had chemo 4 years ago and my lashes grew back very thin. I am constantly buying mascara for fullness or length. This mascara made my lashes soooo long. Even my husband noticed!

No it doesnt add lenght but it does a good job to thicken lashes and doesnt runs or smudge after it dries with really and good brush.

I have tried many mascaras, none of which work as well as the maybelline sky-high. It gives my eyelashes amazing lift with just using this single mascara; which previously i would have to use at 3 different mascaras to try and achieve the same level of volume and length the skyhigh provides. Amazing mascara, will only be purchasing this one from now on.

I bought the Maybellone Sky High mascara after I saw it on Instagram and it looked like a possible dupe for the Hourglass Unlocked Mascara which is $29. From looks and appears I definitely feel like this is a dupe for the Hourglass Unlocked mascara and for the money I will definitely will be repurchasing this and forgo the Hourglass mascara.
First, the size and width of the mascara tubes are very similar. It appears that the Maybelline mascara is about 1-2 mm shorter than the hourglass mascara. Like many luxury products the Hourglass component is significantly heavier than the Maybelline mascara which gives it the “luxury” feeling.
The brush application are nearly identical between the two as you can see from one of my images. They both have plastic applicators that are slender with short bristles. The slender applicator with the short bristle makes it easy to grab and lengthen the inner corner lashes that are hard to reach with fatter mascara applicators.
However, the biggest difference between the two mascaras is that the Maybelline mascara head is significantly more flexible than the Hourglass one. Upon application, I found the extreme flexibility in the Maybelline mascara applicator made it very difficult to apply the mascara to the root and push it through to the tip of the lashes. I typically like a mascara wand this isn’t so flexible so I can use the firmness to help push the mascara formula into the roots of the lashes and up to the tips of the lashes. However, due to the flexibility in the wand it was extremely difficult to do this and it took me a while to apply the mascara to get a fanned out effect. Yet, when I finished applying the mascara it looked great.
Once dried the mascara feels the nearly the same when I gently run my finger through my lashes. If anything the Maybelline one feel slightly more tough whereas the Hourglass feels soft to the touch.
I actually did a test and applied the Maybelline mascara on one eye and the hourglass on the other eye and asked my roommates if they noticed any difference and which they liked more. They both said there was very little difference between the two but preferred the Maybelline one because the lashes looked more separated.
Both mascaras make your lashes extremely long and fanned out. They don’t give too much volume which is okay with me because I prefer that look anyways. I know some people don’t like that look but I personally prefer long individual lashes that look like my natural lashes but longer. Both of these mascaras are washable and can be easily be removed with warm water and/or makeup remover. They have identical lasting power too!
In the end, if you’ve been wanting to try the Hourglass Unlocked Mascara and it’s not in your budget I would highly recommend you get this one instead give the Maybelline is $9 and the Hourglass Unlocked is $29. It’s a really a great dupe and I’m so glad that Maybelline came out with this mascara given they you’re supposed to change out your mascara every 3 months. I don’t feel as bad if I lose this mascara or it’s passed it’s shelf life given the price.

I bought this product after reading other reviews and I must say I really like this mascara. It didn’t clump and I just applied about three layers and that was enough for me. I would definitely recommend.

I’ve been through like 8 of these now and will never go back to another mascara again. My lashes look SUPER long and if you layer it then they’re voluminous too, best of both worlds. The waterproof one holds the curl literally all day and does not rub off or leave that icky black mark under your eye after a long day.

Bought this after a terrible experience with L’Oreals telescopic mascara and this one is SO much nicer. Makes my lashes look full and dark but not clumpy. They really do beautiful with this on. Only gripe is that it’s a bit tough to remove.

Everybody is talking about this mascara, and I do mean EVERYONE. You can’t type “makeup hack” or “best mascara” into Google or YouTube or Tiktok these days without having Maybelline’s Sky High coming up in the results.
Now, don’t get me wrong, this is a very good mascara. It gives you terrific length and doesn’t clump easily. But, that being said, it doesn’t even compare to their The Falsies mascara.
OK, this is a review for Sky High, but let me wax poetic on The Falsies for a sec. That mascara gives you amazing length AND volume and you can actually find it in stores. Using The Falsies makes my lashes so long they brush my glasses, and I don’t get that with Sky High.
So it’s really up to you. All length? Go Sky High. Length and volume? The Falsies.
