Great mascara...I love this mascara! It goes on so smoothly with no clumps. The finished look is not overwhelming like some other mascaras can be....The wand itself is stiff, probably why it works so well but take care around your eyes bc I stabbed myself once with the little bristles and it HURT. It doesn’t smudge (monolid here) and holds up well during the day. The tube opening is narrow and prevents you from grabbing too much product - great for not clumping!
