This isn’t your standard Maybelline Sky High mascara review. This is a Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara 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. So, 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.
“Are we seeing these eyelashes right now?” one TikTok creator – who coined it the “best mascara ever” said.
I’ve been a beauty editor for the past decade, and I’ve tried hundreds of mascaras – but I’d be inclined to agree. This is my most-loved mascara ever, and the one product in my makeup bag that I’ve repurchased more than any other. So, as it gets reduced as part of the epic Amazon Prime Day sales (kind of like Black Friday in October), I thought I’d share all of the reasons why it’s so great.

Maybelline Sky High Mascara – The GLAMOUR Road Test:
Praise where it’s due, this mascara definitely worth the attention. Let’s start with the price point. Even at full price, this mascara is very reasonable, at £12.99. Generally, I don’t believe you need to spend loads on a mascara, and every time my friends ask me for a mascara recommendation, I tell them the Sky High will act as proof.
