Almay Multi-Benefit Mascara 504 Black Waterproof — Volumizing & Lengthening, Hypoallergenic for Sensitive Eyes

Almay Multi-Benefit Mascara in 504 Black Waterproof is a hypoallergenic, ophthalmologist-tested mascara that delivers visible volume, length, separation and long-lasting, smudge-resistant color.

Designed for people with sensitive eyes, this multitasking mascara combines a lightweight, conditioning formula with a plant-derived bristle brush to build dramatic lashes without flaking or irritation. The waterproof version keeps pigment in place for up to eight hours while the keratin-containing formula helps lashes look healthier and feel more conditioned. Fragrance-free and cruelty-free, it’s made to be gentle on contact lens wearers and those who prefer clean-beauty options.

How does this mascara create volume and length at once?

The formula balances pigment density with flexible film-formers so lashes appear fuller and longer without stiff clumps. The brush deposits color evenly while separating lashes to maintain a natural fan effect.

• Keratin-infused formula for a conditioned look
• Lightweight pigments buildable from natural to dramatic
• Plant-derived bristles reach each lash for even coverage
• Brush shape designed to lift and fan lashes

Is this safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers?

Yes—this mascara is hypoallergenic and ophthalmologist-tested to reduce the risk of irritation. It’s fragrance-free and formulated specifically to be gentle around the eye area.

• Ophthalmologist-tested formulation
• Hypoallergenic and fragrance-free
• Suitable for contact lens wearers and sensitive eyes
• Cruelty-free manufacturing

Will the waterproof formula smudge or flake during the day?

The waterproof formula is designed to resist smudging and flaking for lasting wear—up to about eight hours—so color stays put through daily activities. Proper removal with a compatible eye makeup remover is recommended to avoid tension on lashes.

• Smudge-resistant waterproof finish
• Non-flaky wear for extended periods (up to 8 hours)
• Removes with oil-based or waterproof removers
• Avoid rubbing to preserve lash health

How should I apply and remove this mascara for best results?

Apply from root to tip with a slight wiggle to coat each lash; layer while slightly damp for more intensity. To remove, use a gentle oil-based or waterproof eye makeup remover and allow it to dissolve pigment before wiping.

• Wiggle brush at the base, sweep through to tips
• Layer coats for added volume and length
• Use waterproof remover for clean removal
• Be gentle to avoid lash breakage
