So, why do I continue to purchase this mascara? I switch off between this one and the Iconic. maybe because my eyelids are of an older sort there is a tendency for this one to smudge. On the upper lids the blackness seems to be more intense and really dramatic.I have to clean my lids after application. On my lower lids the smudginess actually adds some nice dimension. I do have to check during the day to make sure I don't have a mess going on. Definitely don't use when you're going to touch your eyes a lot. Looks good at night when you need a little more drama.
This mascara went on "goopy" and felt sticky. I had to constantly separate my lashes with either a lash separator or a safety pin. Definitely exchanging it.
