Since I not often apply mascara to my backside lashes, I targeted all my efforts on the highest—and went in with a number of coats to get the specified size and elevate. The result’s tremendous delicate, with a mild fanning of the lashes that’s finest appreciated up shut. (If need precision with little drama, you’ll in all probability love this mascara.)  I additionally generally tend to rub my eyes rather a lot all through the day, however fortunately there was minimal flaking. Removing can also be straightforward—a bit micellar water does the trick.
