So it’s almost impossible to convey how UNBELIEVABLY thick your lashes will look with this mascara. Too thick for some? Perhaps. But for those of us who would rather die than wear a bunch of eyeshadow every day, but also want to emphasize our eyes, thick, fluttery lashes are the ticket. And we can only really express its utter magic through photos.

You’ll also notice a little trick for hooded eyes which is to just focus on your lashes for drama, and not the lid. Because now that we’re all post-40 and we have to make peace with words like “laxity,” we just don’t want to bring anyone’s attention to our impending crepe.

But if you have short lashes, thin lashes, or only like 12 lashes, you simply will not believe the false-lash effect of this magic-laced mascara. Oh! We forgot to tell you the best part. It. Doesn’t. Flake. Ever. But truly. Ever. Try it. You’ll see.
