Far more than just a Maybelline Sky High mascara review, this article is essentially a love letter. Like many of my fellow millennials, the iconic Maybelline Colossal mascara was one of my first own make-up products as a teen — and when it comes to my lashes, I’ve pretty much stuck with the brand ever since.
It definitely didn’t surprise me when I heard that they’d impressed the universe yet again with the launch of their (now beloved) lengthening formula — the Maybelline New York Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara — which has since been named the number one bestselling mascara in the UK, and TikTok’s most viral beauty product ever.
Type the hashtag “skyhighmascara” into TikTok, and you’ll see that it has over 1.3 billion views (!), from the thousands of videos rolling in from users who are still – despite the amount of time that has passed since its launch – flawed by its ability to lengthen lashes and provide dramatic volume. For a very affordable price, may we add. And that’s before we even get started on the second iteration: Sky High Cosmic Black, which is just as much of a sensation, creating drama and volume with an even more intense pigment.
Best of all, this cult-favourite product is currently reduced by an impressive 39% as part of the epic Amazon Prime Day sales (kind of like Black Friday in July) — so you can now get your hands on it it for less than £10. Definitely one of the shopping giant’s most epic Prime Day beauty discounts, you have until 23:59 on July 17th to take advantage of this saving, and add this staple mascara that our beauty editors swear by to your make-up bag.
Still not completely convinced? I’m pretty confident that my full review will encourage you to take the plunge …

Maybelline Sky High Mascara – The GLAMOUR Road Test:
Praise where it’s due, it’s definitely worth the attention. The wand, which is long, conical and plastic, is nice and bendy to get in at tricky angles. The brush is densely packed with straight bristles to comb through each and every lash from root to tip. This elongates and coats lashes, while preventing clumping (essential, if you want to apply several layers). Then there’s the formula itself, which is infused with bamboo extract and fibres to add some extra length and volume without weighing lashes down.
