Excellent curl retention. Light brown color for a sophisticated look that eliminates the need for mascara.
I have the impression that the purple doesn't stand out very much. Since the purple is barely noticeable on black eyelashes, I apply pink mascara as a base before applying the purple. That way, it looks a little more purple...or so I guess.
The curl retention may not have been as good as I expected... The liquid is also quite delicate, so I think it would be great for people who like a delicate finish, but it's a more delicate finish than Kate's Lash For Mercreer, so to be honest, I found it quite lacking. I think the color is lovely, so it might be better to use Lash For Mercreer as a base. Personally, I don't think I'll be buying it again.
The color is great! After applying black mascara, I apply this colored mascara from the center to the tips. It has a lot of fibers, so it has a lengthening effect, but the downside is that it doesn't blend well with the lashes and the fibers tend to scatter. If you don't apply too much, but apply it lightly, it will apply nicely.
It's a shame that it clumps when you apply it multiple times... Also, it dries quickly, so if you don't comb it through your hair quickly, it gets brittle. It hurts, lol, but the color is cute. I don't think it has much curl retention power...
