I dislike this brush. The large end is too large, it is hard to get close enough to the base of my lashes. When using the smaller end the larger end is just too big to judge how close you are and...

Like everyone else, I got this as a bday gift at Sephora. And honestly, it's really terrible. I hate the shape of the brush, I couldn't get it to go on evenly. And then, after 3 coats, it looked...

Like most of the reviewers here I also received mine from my sephora birthday present. I like it a lot because it does not smudge or fade and it thickens my asian lashes. See my video for the...

I loved it! This is the mascara I've been searching for all my life! I got mine (as did several other reviewers) as a birthday sample from Sephora! I love it because it doesn't clump. It...

I received a sample of this mascara and it did not work for me. I have straight lashes so I have to use a eye lash curler. This mascara did not hold my curls. The brush is huge, so it was difficult...

I also received this as a B'day gift from Sephora; and am glad I did not pay for this mascara! Brush is too big to maneuver and the mascara itself burns my sensitive eyes. Would not recommend.

I also received this in my Sephora birthday gift, and they could have kept it. NOT a good mascara. Yes, the brush is huge and awkward. And the formula really never does seem to dry completely. ...

NO, NO, NO....I've big eyes with long lashes and if I can't get this brush to work I'm surprised anyone can! It's so annoying. This brush is skinny at the end and gets big (to big) at beginning....

I've tried drugstore mascaras that are better than this one. It felt like it was melting off my lashes halfway through the day and like it never dried. Plus it felt like I couldn't build it. Not...

I got this for free as my birthday gift from Sephora. I'm always excited to try new mascaras, but this one REALLY disappointed me. I think the idea of that shape a brush was good, but it's so big...

I am really loving this mascara. The brush is working for my lashes really well. I don't have very long lashes and this seems to lengthen and separate really good. I don't know what the...

I got this as a Sephora VIB Birthday gift, used it twice and threw it away. I really don't like the wand and didn't really do anything for my lashes just "some" volume and length.

It's a great lengthening and voluminizing mascara. The thing is, it's really expensive. If you have the money to spend, go for it! The only reason I got mine was because if my bday!

Got this as a bday gift and wowww I really like it. I thought the brush was weird at first. There was no goop here n there on the brush which allowed for even application and it didn't smear (even...

Got this in my bday gift from Sephora. For reference: I have very long lashes and dry skin. When I first apply it, it coats nicely, separates, and adds nice volume. Initially, I was really...

As did many others, I received this as a gift from Sephora. I like Make Up For Ever, but this mascara was truly disappointing. Didn't glide on smoothly, no styaing power, and flaking. I hate...

I was not a fan of this mascara. I'm usually not a fan of bristle mascara wands, and this was no exception. First off, the shape of the wand was extremely hard to use. Getting the larger part of...

I got it as part of my b-day gift, and I am impressed (based on this sample size at least). The brush is a bit too big/thick, but it applies the product evenly. I was shocked when I saw how much...
