Review: Awesome! Does need makeup remover. - Really love this mascara. Once it dries, it doesn't smear or flake all day. Coats the lashes sooo well with a few strokes. Elongates and thickens the lashes. Very smooth, no clumps. Note: It does not come completely off with facewash and water. Needs a makeup remover applied with a cotton ball to get it completely off, but it's worth it. I have the carbon black color and it's very nice with my cool summer complexion and brunette hair. I love that it's not too dark of a black, but gives enough contrast to make my brown/hazel eyes pop.
Review: Great long wearing mascara - This is the best mascara I have tried- and I usually wear high-end ($28-50) brands. Bought the green just to see if I would like the color with my brown eyes before buying green in a high-end brand- love this brand!!! The mascara itself is non clumping, wears extremely well( i tend to touch my lashes a lot), does not crumble under your eyes, does not rub off yet is easily removed with soap and water! As for the color, meh- does not read as green on the lash - maybe with a white primer it would. The color is nice and reads as something not quiet black when applied on natural black lashes. Would def recommend.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the difference between "blackest black" and "carbon black"?**
A: The difference is the type of pigment that is used.  Traditional mascaras use different oxidation states of iron oxides (black, red, and yellow with the red and yellow being only used in the brown shade).  In carbon black the black iron oxide pigment is replaced with a carbon compound that has a much deeper more obsidian appearance.  Black iron oxides are naturally occurring minerals and vary on the shade their "blackness" where the carbon black is much more consistently deep black.

**Q: Has anyone used the black/brown color? Is it a deep brown color or lighter brown?**
A: I have bought this many times . It is dark and not to much difference then the black one. I personally think the color is great.

**Q: does this mascara flake or smudge by the end of the day?**
A: I love and use l'Oreal Voluminous mascara exclusively, but I have found that on me the Carbon Black does smudge. Using the primer helps, but I avoid this color. I haven't experienced smudging with any other color and right now am using brownish black. It's a nice daytime color.  (the Carbon Black is a great color for dramatic nighttime use, and it may not smudge on you! Worth a try!).

**Q: This comes with 5 mascaras?**
A: Well it literally says L'oreal Voluminous Mascara, Carbon Black, 0.28-Fluid Ounce (Pack of 5)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Favorite
*by J***S on July 29, 2026*

I absolutely love this mascara and keep coming back to it. It gives my lashes amazing volume and length without feeling heavy or clumpy. Just a couple of coats makes my lashes look fuller and more defined. The formula goes on smoothly, doesn't flake throughout the day, and is easy to remove at night since it's washable. I also appreciate that it separates my lashes instead of making them stick together. For the price, it's hard to beat the quality. I've tried more expensive mascaras, but I always come back to this one. If you're looking for a reliable mascara that delivers beautiful volume and length, I highly recommend it!
