What it is
Longer, fuller, and more defined. Create bold, striking lashes. The newly developed brush lifts all lashes firmly while gently separating each individual lash for a defined, defined look. Waterproof formula.
Ingredients
How to use
Apply the mascara using a zigzag motion with the brush, moving from the base of your eyelashes to the tip. The tip of the brush is ideal for small areas such as the inner and outer corners of your eyes and the lower lashes. For even more defined eyelashes, apply mascara over the entire brush and then use the tip to separate. *To remove, use eye makeup remover.

A beautiful bright red lipstick! It's smooth and easy to apply. It gives a mature finish.
I bought this hoping it would last and enhance the look of my eyes. It's waterproof, so I was hoping it would last for a long time, but when I used it alone, it would smudge onto my lower eyelids in the evening, and I didn't feel it lasted as long as I'd hoped. The liquid is a little heavy, and it tends to clump my lashes together, which is the opposite of separating them. Rather than giving a natural volume, it gives a more pronounced, eye-catching finish. When combined with the Mascara Base Ink from the same series, the lack of smudging is compensated for, and it finally feels usable. It seems like it's formulated to be used in combination with the base, which was a bit disappointing.

This was my first time using this product. I had read reviews beforehand, so I didn't have high expectations... but it worked for me. Perhaps it's the comb, but it adheres beautifully and just right, and I was surprised at how naturally long my lashes are, about twice as long as my natural lashes without mascara. (My friends told me the same thing.) Even when I apply it in the morning and into the evening, the curl is still there, and there are no issues with color fading. However, I haven't washed my face with it yet, so I'm hoping it washes off easily. Because I have inverted eyelashes, most mascaras often lose their curl immediately after application. I've been using a certain mascara for several years, and I feel this one is a good value for the money.
