I love NARS volumizng mascara and the lengthening mascara as well. I use it with SHISEIDO mascara base (2 coats). It stays on so well without flaking that you can sleep in it (as I do on long flights). Comes off easily with NARS mascara remover or baby oil gel (shhh that's my secret). I like the brush in the lengthening one better so I clean the old ones and replace the thicker brush in the volumIzing mascara. I like to layer the lengthening over the volumIzing one for a great night time look. The volumIzing formula feels softer on the lashes and the lengthening one is stiffer.
Really like this mascara. I have tried many, looking for a mascara that is both columnizing as well as thickening but not clumpy. This NARS mascara meets that need. Was a suggestion from a beauty advisor whose opinion I really value. Great addition to my color / beauty routine!
I love the volume that this mascara provides without feeling bulky. I also really love that it isn't smudging under my eyes after a couple of hours nor is there any flakiness. Great mascara!
