Great

January 21, 2012
By emmybleu
from Newark, NJ
"This product is great. I have hazel eyes that change colors. It doesn't actually brighten your eyes the gold specks reflect light which pulls attention to them. It did just that. It was a little clumpy though which made me not want to buy anymore. :("

Not what I expected.

November 12, 2011
By Madee
from New York, NY
"I was really excited to try the "eye brightening" mascara effect. I have deep brown eyes and I bought the mascara in black pearl it didn't seem to brighten my eyes at all. Also the mascara clumps my lashes together which is unflattering."

Not bad

"Had originally bought this in Black Pearl since I have brown eyes, but I didn't see a change so I decided to switch it up to Black Gold and have been faithful ever since. I like the gold flecks! I did also try Black Sapphire but prefer Black Gold."

I Need Help! Any suggestions?

By ClairesyDoll
from Cincinnati, OH
"I really want to try this product, however, I am in a somewhat tricky situation: I have 2 different colored eyes. My eyes go between green and hazel, but about half of (my left) eye is brown. I don't know which shade to try to get the best results.."

Response from CoverGirl:By JennyCoverGirl TeamJune 15, 2011
Wow, you sound like you have beautiful eyes! I think any of the shades will work really well for you. My favorite is Black Gold.

"I admit, I was skeptical when about this brightening my dark brown eyes, but when I tried it out, I did feel like my eyes were "sparkling"! I naturally have long lashes, but this made them pop even more! I love this mascara! I will surely buy again!"

"No flakes, no clumps, no smudges, and it's not even listed as waterproof! This is one of my all time favorite mascaras. It leaves my lashes darker, fuller and well defined. Lovely!"

Excellent!

By franie
from Parkersburg, WV
"I am very picky about my mascara and the brush. I was pleasantly surprised that I liked this one. The black for hazel is just a little lighter than what I normally used, which is good as it looks more natural. Great value w/coupon I received."

unsure on colors?

March 1, 2011
By crazyath11
from Henderson, NV
"well, my eyes change colors often from green to blue and back to a blue-ish green, so it's really hard to figure out which mascara works better than the other. so I'm unsure what to do about it. it would be a lot easier if I knew what color to use."

Response from CoverGirl:By CathyConsumer CareMarch 3, 2011
Wow some people have to buy colored contact just to have your eye luxury! I can see why it is challenging to pick a color for you. I would go with the Black Sapphire since most of the time you tend to have a blue hue to them. The Black Sapphire is designed for blue eyes and will help to bring out your "baby blues".

Have a good day!

Unsatisfying

February 26, 2011
By Quarter
"I used to use this mascara, but I stopped because it didn't even brighten my eyes at all. I love CoverGirl, so I was pretty disappointed with it. But on the plus side, it's good about staying on your eyelashes and not flaking or clumping."
Response from CoverGirl:By CathyConsumer CareFebruary 28, 2011
I'm glad to hear that there were some positives for you with the Exact Eyelights Eye-Brightening Mascara but sorry to hear that you are disappointed in the "brightening" effect. This is a subtle effect that is intended to brighten the color of your eyes vs. your lashes. Did you use the mascara in conjunction with the Exact Eyelights Eye Brightening Eyeliner and Eyeshadow? If you use all three products together you will find you get the best effects. Please let me know if there is any other suggestions I can provide for you!

Have a good week!

"When I first opened it, I was freaked out. WHY DID I BUY A MASCARA THAT WAS BABY BLUE!? It, no joke, was light light sky blue. I put it on my lashes... and it turned BLACK. Not even kidding. It was so! cool! I love it!"

Disappointed

"I really like the hazel eye-enhancing products, but this mascara clumps like crazy on my lashes. I thought it was a fluke, but there have now been multiple occasions when I have to strip the clumps out of my lashes."
