I have monolid-like hidden double eyelids and super straight lashes. My lashes grow in different directions, so no matter how much I curl them, they never stay up. Some even bend sideways when I use an eyelash curler. Being so straight, mascara usually smudges within 30 minutes, making my usual lash routine quite frustrating. My lashes are on the longer side, so I chose this product for its strong fixing power over other features. It definitely holds better than others I've tried. I've always used skinny mascaras before, but this one lifts my lashes much better. I was worried about application since the curling part is thicker than skinny wands, but it was surprisingly easy to use. It even applies well to my lower lashes! I think I'll stick with this product for all my future mascara needs.
As expected, not all of my lashes stayed curled, and a few still lay flat. The staying power wasn't as long-lasting as I'd hoped, but it definitely held up better than any other mascara I've used before!
Pro tip for those with super straight lashes (actually, this works for everyone): First, curl your lashes intensely. Then immediately apply a lash primer, followed by two coats of mascara, being careful not to clump. This significantly improves longevity! Start applying from the lash roots, using more product at the base compared to the tips. Apply firmly at the roots with multiple strokes, then use a flicking motion towards the ends for a more natural look. This technique helps the mascara set more firmly at the roots, improving both longevity and overall appearance.
