My favourite mascara, old trusty. I love it. The brush is more like wee spikes which I usually don't like because they hurt when you stick it in your eye on the train. These ones aren't as sore as some others. The mascara itself is fantastic. It seperates out the lashes, gathering and extending lashes from parts of my eyelids I never seen lashes before, so you can get a lovely defined look. It also doesn't crumble or smudge. Its very easy to layer up whilst its still wet, and more and more lashes just keep appearing. Brush is handy shape for grabbing the little lashes at the corners that usually get forgotten about without crashing into the skin around the eye. So my final word - long, defined full lashes without smudging. My favourite.
I found a handy video on the maxfactor facebook/youtube a while ago in which make-up artist Caroline Barnes shows you how to apply this mascara properly. Using her technique to seperate the lashes out made me love this mascara even more. She recommends that you turn the brush and wiggle it about whilst the brush is against the lash line, the more twisting you do during the one stroke is far more effective than just doing multiple strokes along the lash (blinking onto wand technique - which I used to do before I washed this video)
Here is a link to one of her videos for makeover break: she doesnt use this mascara in the video but she explains the technique on this one. You can see it on any of her podcasts though
Remember to wiggle (left <->right direction) and turn the brush as you apply :)
