What I like about this mascara is that it does deliver good volume on the upper lashes without looking clumpy, and it also adds curl. I think that if you pre-curl your lashes beforehand the mascara would do even better at this. The brush is a curved shape for giving lashes curl and it is also very good at defining lower lashes without any clumping. I think this improves the look of my lashes without looking unnatural in any way.
