This is the best mascara I've ever used. If you're looking for a fiber mascara that applies cleanly, this is it. Usually, fiber mascaras or fixers tend to flake off and smudge over time, making you look like you haven't brushed your hair after a haircut. But with this one, there's absolutely no fiber fallout! Some say it dispenses too much product, but if you just wipe the wand once at the opening, you can achieve that perfect idol-like lashes effortlessly. As someone with monolids, I've tried countless smudge-prone mascaras, but this one barely smudges at all. At first, I thought the thin brush wouldn't provide enough curling power, but it maintains the curl amazingly well. It's fantastic! Of course, I did get a lash perm, but even then, other mascaras often require using a heated lash curler, while this one doesn't really need it. Anyway, it's truly the best!
There are no real downsides. If I had to pick something, I'd say the amount of product might be a bit on the lower side!
It's super easy to control the amount of product by gently wiping the curved part of the opening as you pull out the brush. It's perfect!
