The bottom lashes were slightly trickier to coat with mascara because of the thick wand. I used the tapered edge to catch each lower lash but again, make sure you remove excess on the side of the tube first. Once I started zig-zagging the tip of the wand through my lashes, though, they were immediately stretched out and looked so long and dark.

While it isn’t the most dramatic mascara finish I’ve come across recently, the finish was actually my ideal everyday look. My lashes didn’t droop once and despite the wetter formula, it doesn’t leave lashes looking crispy. In fact, when the formula dried down completely, my lashes still managed to look wispy and fluttery. It’s basically a lash lift in a tube and for that, I’m sure I’ll be reaching for this daily.
