I've been using this for over 10 years now. I have sparse, short, and thin eyelashes. However, I believe eyelashes are crucial, so I always use Etude's fixer after curling. Then, I apply Kiss Me Long & Curl mascara to add color and length, followed by Etude Curl Fix mascara to set the curl. When I want even more length, I use Holika Holika mascara, but be careful with this as it can make lashes look like spider legs if not controlled well. Even though my natural lashes are truly awful, using these products allows me to achieve beautiful mascara looks. I'm truly grateful for these products.
ConsThe green Holika Holika mascara is absolutely amazing.

I usually favor thicker mascara brushes for their volumizing effect, and this Holika product doesn't disappoint. Its brush has just the right thickness - not too thin - creating a defined and clean volume that really makes my lashes stand out. Curl retention and staying power: Having thick, downward-pointing lashes means I put extra effort into my mascara routine. I typically apply a fixing mascara, followed by a volumizing or curling mascara, then use a heated lash curler, and finish with another layer of fixing mascara. With this routine, the initial curl lasts for over 6 hours. I'm pleased that this mascara formula isn't too heavy or droopy. Clumping and flaking: This mascara applies smoothly without clumping. Once it dries, there's minimal flaking, so it rarely leaves any residue under the eyes. This helps maintain a clean, polished eye look throughout the day.
ConsI'm quite satisfied with this product, so I don't have any particular complaints or areas for improvement.

It applies smoothly and flexibly, then sets firmly when dry. It gives your lashes that perfect, pinched-by-tweezers look that really makes your eyes pop.
ConsThis is a well-known mascara that I use regularly because it works so well. I have no complaints!

First of all, the curling lasts even after 10 hours!! It had better curl retention than the Etude House Fixing Curl. And it seems to be the first mascara that doesn't have the issues of eye crease marks or under-eye smudging. It keeps my skin expression moisturized and I clearly understand what it means to have strong curling. The eyelash expression is completed with a glamorous feel within the daily range. The curling is definitely achieved, and the volume is not overbearing but still glamorous. It's not as clumped up as Maybelline, which I liked. Cleansing is also not difficult.
ConsNone. It's too good. My under-eyes used to smudge so much and I had a lot of eye crease marks, so I had given up, but I've found a holy grail product and I'm so happy.

It lifts the lashes without feeling heavy or burdensome. 🌸Longevity: Even when my eyes feel dry from winter heaters and I have to use eye drops every 10 minutes, this mascara never smudges. 🌸Curling Power: It doesn't droop. Even with eye drops or rubbing, the curl holds strong. 🌸[Wet/Dry]: It applies on the drier side. One coat doesn't give a dramatic effect, but a few coats build up nice volume. 🌸Effect: The pinnacle of the Korean preference for moderation and appropriateness.
ConsIt applies too cleanly, so the volume effect is a bit lacking. 🥲

The eyes look very clear!
ConsIt doesn't apply too thinly, so you need to use a little less product.
TipTo look more natural, apply a small amount at the opening and spread it thinly over several layers.

As a volumizing mascara, it has a lot of fibers, which makes it great for long lashes as well. The staying power is also good. When it's sufficiently dry, it doesn't smudge even when wearing a mask. The heavy black color makes my eyes look more defined, so I'm very satisfied with this mascara.
ConsIf applied carelessly, it can look messy due to the fibers. You need to apply it carefully, but the satisfaction of a well-applied look is great with this mascara.
TipIf you apply it horizontally towards the roots and then vertically to the tips of the eyebrows, the fibers will be arranged vertically, giving you a neat, doll-like lifted lash look.

I don't like it when the volume and long lashes sag, so I think volume is important, and this one definitely looks bold while the curling is well-fixed. I can feel it lifting up as I apply it. 💚💚💚💚Lasting power The curling that rises up firmly lasts for a long time even as time passes. It's applied a bit thickly, so I was worried it might sag a lot due to the weight, but it lasts much longer than expected. It also survives well even in mask humidity. 💚💚💚💚💚No powder fall, no smudging In the past, there were many mascaras that smudged, but these days, instead of smudging, products tend to have powder fall that makes the eye area messy over time. This one has no smudging, and there's also no powder fall, so it maintains a clean look around the eyes even after a long time. 💚💚💚💚Definite presence Since my eyelashes are thin and not very dense, I like that this gives a definite presence to the eyelashes, even if it means accepting a bit of clumping. This has the perfect volume for people like me. The slightly thicker liquid type grips the curling well, making the eyelash presence very pronounced.
Cons🤢🤢🤢🤢Clumping It's true that Hwahae Trial Reviewers need to accept a certain degree of clumping to have a definite presence, but this seems to be a bit excessive. I consider mascara very important and have a decent amount of skill, but I think this might be a bit difficult for beginners. Especially at the start of use, there is quite a bit of clumping if you don't shake it well and use it after it's dried a bit. 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢Thick brush The most difficult thing to control with this mascara is not just the thick application, but the fact that the brush is really thick!!! If the brush was a bit thinner, it would have been easier to control, but it seems to have come out too thick. The brush is quite firm, which is good, but the overall size is too large. 🤢Lacking in long lash effect Since I originally bought a volume product, this isn't a major downside, but I still wish it had a bit more long lash functionality.
TipLightly patting the mascara on a paper towel can help remove some of the excess, and using it this way allows you to apply it without as much getting on the eye area. Another method is to shake it a bit at the start and let it thicken up slightly before applying.

It makes my lashes look defined, almost like I'm wearing false lashes! ■Lightness I didn't really like the feeling of Peripera mascara weighing down my eyes, but this one doesn't have that at all! I can't even feel like there's anything on my lashes. ■Design I don't usually pay much attention to design, but I know some people do, so I'm including this in the review ㅋ In my opinion, it doesn't look childish or tacky! ■Gift (Lip & Eye Remover Sample) I usually use the Banila Co eye makeup remover the most, but this one is just as effective without any irritation! Just soak a cotton pad thoroughly and let it sit on your eyes for 3-4 seconds, and it removes everything completely!! I seriously want the full-size version of this!
Cons■Mascara Wand Shape If the wand was thinner, it might have applied more cleanly and easily!! Of course, if I wipe off the excess mascara before applying, it's fine, but when I'm in a hurry, I just apply it as is, and on days when there's a lot of product, it can get a bit clumpy. I have to use an eyebrow brush to separate it... If I don't control the amount well, it can look spidery... It might be great for those without much lash volume, but I prefer a clean, volumized look, so I was a bit disappointed!! ■Curl Longevity It seems to last a bit less than the green mascara ㅠㅠ I definitely curled my lashes and reapplied a couple times before going out, but it didn't stay super strong all day!! It might be okay in the winter, but I'm not sure how well it'll hold up in the summer... Maybe it's because my lashes are naturally quite curly. ■Holding Power Unlike the green mascara, if I don't keep using the lash curler while wearing it, the hold isn't as great ㅠ I was hoping to find a mascara that would set and hold without needing constant maintenance, but this purple one doesn't seem to be it ㅠㅠ
Tip■Recommendation I recommend this mascara for those with sparse lashes!

I tried applying it directly after using the brow gel, without the base, and the panda eyes don't appear over time. The curl is maintained, and I'm really satisfied. True to its volumizing claims, my lashes look full. I've only used Lancome before, but I think I'll switch to this one.
ConsIf you apply it right after opening, it clumps up. You'll need to adjust the amount.
