Our Review

Sky High's flexible tower brush grabs every lash for length and curl without clumping. The buildable formula is a viral favorite for a wide-eyed, fluttery look.

Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara revived faith in the drugstore lash category when it launched with a flexible tower brush and a buildable formula that lengthens without instant clump catastrophes at the inner corner or along the lower lash line. The brush bends to reach inner corner lashes and root areas that stiff brushes skip, which creates that wide-eyed, lifted look people associate with falsies—minus the glue, band learning curve, and late-night removal that makes falsies a sometimes treat rather than a daily habit for most of us who value speed in the morning.

The washable formula is a daily-driver favorite because removal does not require industrial-strength solvent that leaves eyes red and lashes sparse over time. Micellar water or balm cleanser takes it off without losing lashes to aggressive rubbing when you are tired. The waterproof version exists for weddings and humidity, but most users prefer washable for everyday given removal friction and the risk of tugging delicate lids. Build one coat for office, two for dinner, three if you accept some clump risk at the tips where fibers accumulate if you rush.

Smudging can occur on very oily lids or if you skip eyeshadow primer on hooded eyes where transfer is structural rather than formula failure. Setting powder on the lid and letting eye cream absorb fully before mascara improves wear without changing the tube you bought. Compared with essence Lash Princess, Sky High skews slightly more natural on the first coat and less fiber-heavy, which some sensitive eyes prefer for all-day comfort. Compared with luxury tubing mascaras, it may flake sooner on twelve-hour days but costs a fraction of the price for similar length.

Shade range includes black and brown; brown softens the look for fair complexions and casual makeup when harsh black feels too formal for grocery runs or video calls in daylight. Replace every three months to avoid bacterial buildup and dried formula that clumps no matter how good your technique is or how carefully you recap the wand after each use. The tube runs out at a reasonable pace—not too fast, not gloppy for months—so you are not throwing away half a dried tube like some luxury formulas that thicken early when air enters the wand channel and ruins the second half of the product.

For Lachaor readers who want length and lift without falsies, Sky High is the Maybelline mascara worth the viral praise when you shop the lash aisle and want proof before paying prestige prices. It will not replace a lash curler if your lashes point straight down—curl first for maximum lift—but as a mascara it delivers one of the best cost-to-impact ratios in mass retail for everyday wear and event makeup alike. Keep one tube in your daily bag and one at home if you are prone to forgetting makeup on trips; at this price, duplication is painless and sensible.
