I usually only use black mascara. This is a natural color that even I can wear without any hesitation. The finish is natural, it doesn't smudge, and it's easy to use. It also keeps the curl pretty well. The brush is thin and easy to use. I bought it because it was limited edition, and it's actually pretty good.

AVANCE SEPARATE LASH Gray Black As you'd expect from a gray-black color, the color is very natural. It adds just the right amount of volume to your natural lashes without being too overpowering. Brown or gray completely eliminates eye impact and makes your face look dull, while black makes the area around your eyes look too dark and old-fashioned, so this was the perfect color for me. It provided excellent coverage, but didn't have much of a lengthening effect, so it may not be enough for those who simply want length. Also, since I have permed eyelashes, I felt that it helped keep the curl, but it may not last as long on my natural lashes. The brush is thin, making it easy to apply even to the bottom lashes and without clumping. It's resistant to water and abrasion, and it still held up well on my lashes even after 8 hours of sweating, so I can go to work without worry.

I've been using Ettusais Mascara Base for the past two years because I easily get panda eyes. It takes time to apply two or three coats of mascara in the morning to get volume, so I was hoping for a quicker way to add volume, and then my sister gave me this as a gift. It's so good!! After work, it drips a little on the outer corners of my eyes, but it's within acceptable limits, and best of all, it gives volume with just one coat. The curl stays perfectly until the evening. Plus, it feels like my lashes are getting longer, probably because of the beauty ingredients. I'll definitely be buying it again!!

I also purchased Mode Brown, which appears to be a limited edition. Black is my favorite mascara, but this one isn't exactly a colored mascara. It's close to black, but it gives off a soft, subtle finish, which I really like. The Avance eyelash serum is packed with eyelash care ingredients, which gives me peace of mind. It's waterproof, so it doesn't smudge, but with point makeup remover, it removes more easily than other waterproof mascaras, which is also gentle on the lashes. I use an eyelash curler, which I don't usually use, when applying this mascara. It allows me to enjoy the nuances of color and makes up for the lack of impact. Since it's apparently a limited edition and is a bit pricey for a budget-friendly product, I'm deducting one star. See my original review here: ↓ I've been using waterproof mascaras and thought they might be harsher on my lashes than film-type mascaras, but then I discovered Avance's waterproof mascara, which is also gentle on the lashes. Speaking of Avance, long before I started wearing makeup, they were a brand that offered eyelash serum, a rare product at the time. I never bought it, but I knew them as a pioneer. I'd been happily frustrated (lol) by the lash-growth benefits of regular volume mascara, which could end up looking too over the top depending on the occasion, so I was looking for something with a more natural finish. This mascara has a delicate finish and comes in two exquisite shades that aren't black, but aren't overtly colored. I chose the cool shade. I already have other brown mascaras, and this one seemed closer to black, which I preferred. The short, slim brush makes application easy and prevents mistakes. However, because it's so delicate, it doesn't get caught on my lower lashes, so I use a different mascara instead. It looks almost black when applied, but it makes my lashes look natural and beautiful. It can look a little whitish depending on the angle, but it's not that noticeable and I like it. It's also surprisingly easy to remove, and seems gentler on the lashes.

I used Gray Black. This eyelash cosmetic contains double cultured cell extracts (apple fruit cultured cell extract, alpine rose cultured cell extract) as repair ingredients. Other hair serum ingredients include acetyl tetrapeptide-3, red clover flower extract, sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed silk, hydrolyzed conchiolin protein, loquat leaf extract, and yuzu fruit extract. It's waterproof, quick-drying, clump-free, and fiber-free. It features a hollow fiber slim-fit long brush and is free of six ingredients (alcohol, fiber, UV absorbers, surfactants, fragrances, and synthetic colorants). It's Made in Japan and cost 1,650 yen (tax included) on Suzykirei shopping. I've been a mascara lover since I could no longer buy Marie Claire mascara, but this one is relatively gentle on the eyes and left a good impression. I'd never found anything that really stood out because it would smudge or cause eye discomfort, but this one only caused a little fatigue, and I'm happy to continue using it. The color is a light black, and while I personally prefer jet black, this has a modern, light feel. It gives natural length. I don't feel it has much curl or hold, but I think a lighter feel like this is better these days. It doesn't smudge easily once it dries. There's a strong scent, but it's not too strong so it didn't bother me. The packaging is stylish, with a gradient from gray? purple? to white. It's slim, so it fits easily in a pouch. The brush is relatively easy to apply. It's relatively easy on the eyes, doesn't smudge, and naturally enhances the look, so I was impressed.
