I had been using professional remarkable mascara by cover girl because it did not give me marks under my eyes. My eyelashes touch my eyebrows when i use this! For me, smokey eye mascara is a good daytime mascara. With the mascara tip pointed up, sweep left to right applying product to bottom lashes. My first time i had some flaking below my eyes of fibers but they did not smear, the second time i did not have any residue. Unfortunately, the longer-lived the mascara, the more of a pain it usually is to get off. Allow a high quality eye makeup remover to sit and work at the lashes for a few seconds before gently wiping off. This is a great mascara for really dramatic lashes and a minimum of fuss.

I totally recommend if you wanna look like you have really hydrated healthy skin. The foundation looked so natural and flawless on the photos and i actually considered switching over to this product.

A second coat applied just at the base of my lashes gave them the added thickness i have been craving since i started wearing makeup as a tween. Another cool thing about this mascara is the brush.
