Maybelline New York Define-A-Lash Lengthening Washable

Maybelline Define-A-Lash Lengthening Washable Mascara in Very Black is a zero-clump lash formula with a shaped flexible brush that delivers clean definition and visible length.

Designed to sculpt and elongate lashes without flaking, this compact 0.22 fl oz tube combines a uniquely contoured brush with a washable formula for everyday wear. The shaped-to-the-lash wand separates lashes while coating each strand for a defined, lengthened look. Ophthalmologist-tested and formulated to be safe for contact lens wearers, it’s built for reliable daily use when applied and stored properly.

How does the brush create longer-looking lashes?

The patented shaped-to-the-lash flexible brush hugs the lash line and reaches even the smallest hairs at the inner and outer corners. Its contouring profile distributes product evenly so individual lashes are coated from root to tip, minimizing clumps and providing a naturally elongated finish.

• Flexible, contoured wand for precise reach
• Thin bristles separate and lift each lash
• Wiper mechanism meters the right amount of formula

Will this mascara smudge or flake during the day?

The washable formula is designed to wear cleanly while resisting common issues like flaking when applied to clean lashes. Although it’s not waterproof, it offers stable wear for typical daily activities and removes easily with gentle makeup remover.

• Washable finish for straightforward removal
• Formulated to reduce flaking and smudging in normal conditions
• Best removal with an oil-based or gentle eye makeup remover

Is this safe for sensitive eyes or contact lens wearers?

Maybelline Define-A-Lash has been ophthalmologist tested and is labeled suitable for contact lens wearers. As with any eye cosmetic, proper hygiene and discontinuing use if irritation occurs are important to maintain eye health.

• Ophthalmologist tested
• Recommended for contact lens wearers
• Do not share the mascara or dilute with liquids

How should I apply and care for this mascara to get the best results?

For clean, lengthened lashes, start with dry, primer-free lashes and wiggle the shaped brush from root to tip. Use light, building strokes instead of a single heavy coat to avoid clumps; recap tightly after use and avoid applying in moving vehicles.

• Apply in short, upward strokes for separation and length
• Layer lightly to build intensity without clumping
• Store upright, cap tightly and do not share the product

Who is this for: This mascara is a practical pick for anyone seeking defined, longer-looking lashes with a clean finish—particularly those who prefer non-waterproof, easy-to-remove makeup. It suits daily makeup routines, contact lens wearers, and users who prioritize a hygienic, no-clump application. Avoid use if your eyes are irritated or injured, and consult a physician when needed.
