I really love this mascara. The applicator separates your lashes so well to make your lashes look fuller. It all has longer bristles on the outer apart of the applicator so you can really get the inner lashes. Its not messy compared to other mascaras that I have used. Everything is great, lovely length and volume. You will not be disappointed with it in those terms. But I did find that when dried it starts to flake and drop into your eyes which causes irritation.
