This mascara is of a super gentle type, the one you would go to for a natural look. i have dark eyelashes and my goal was to make them look longer and curl a little. Neither of these two was achieved, I almost couldn't see any effect on my lashes. Going back to my favorites: Chanel and Armani
I know this mascara is loved by many, but I have had trouble with it flaking. My biggest mascara pet peeves are clumping, flaking and not being black enough. My lashes do gold a curler curl pretty easily, so I can't speak to the curling power of this mascara. I would give this 3.5 stars if I could.
