This mascara is the best I've ever tried. It doesn't flake at all, either under the eyes or leave smudges on the eyelids. It also holds the curl of the lashes super well. Plus, it's easy to remove as long as you have an oil-based makeup remover. I've never had such long lashes with any other mascara. I will only buy this one from now on. I also love how the lashes look with this. They don't get clumpy at all, but the lashes come together in a way I've never experienced before.
