I got this mascara from Benefit Real Cheeky Party Palette which I reviewed previously. This mascara is a little tricky to use. Sometimes it's a hit but often a miss due to smudging, flaking, and panda eyes. Some gurus say it's not for beginners and there's a learning curve to it. I found that rolling and wiggling the wand upon application yields better results. I do think it's an overhyped product for what it's worth. Continue reading for full review and swatches.
My lashes are very short and this product surely adds length, definition, and thickness to them. The formula is not waterproof and since I have oily skin on my lids, the mascara smudges and transfers to my lower lid and under eye area giving me a panda look which is not flattering all. It also feels a little sticky and heavy which is very bothering. It's clumpy with multiple coats.
The brush is a little on the larger side which makes it a little tricky to use. The spiky bristles, however, are well-designed to give lashes more definition and length. The spikes extend up to the tip for hard to reach lashes.
Bare lashes vs One coat vs Two coats
Flaking and Fall out
Final Thoughts
All in all, it works well in making your lashes long and defined but all for the price of the sticky and heavy feel along with the smudging and clumping. Whenever I use it, I just put on one layer and skip the bottom lashes, This way, there will be no smudging and fall out on my undereye area. It works great that way.
I would recommend this for people who have experience with mascara which means it's not for beginners. I won't recommend this as your first tube of mascara.
