Mascara flakes off by the end of the day, and the brush is just too bulky and does not enhance any lashes. However, it does not smudge off.20 years ago, I was at a makeup/jewelry convention in NYC called Girls Night Out. It’s the best. Anyway, I tried Fiberwig and have yet to find ANYTHING similar.. many brands claim to be “acrylic” or similar but I’m here to tell you- No... NO. I’ve tried it all. This doesn’t smudge. EVAH. It will flake off in the shower or if you cry super hard but otherwise, you’re in the clear. They must’ve patented the formula and a lot of people don’t know about it. I’m here to tel you it’s the absolute best. Especially, but not exclusively, for bottom lashes.This is my favourite mascara. I used to live in the Caribbean and sweat heavily or went swimming every day, and it never ran or smudged. Yes, you do have to comb it with an eyelash comb to get rid of clumps as soon as you put it on, and occasionally tiny fibers that look like eyelashes fall off and land on your cheek. At least they look like eyelashes, and you don't look like a crying mess. I'd take that over smudges any day.I’ve been using this mascara for decades. It is easy to apply and does add length but the fibers are trapped in the mascara so I can use it contact lenses!!! It’s the best. It stays on with no raccoon eyes. It washes off with water when you wash your face but not in light rain.After using it for decades I haven’t had to rub my kids with makeup remover. That’s about 8,000 times I didn’t tug on my lids...and it shows!!! My eyes look great and I’m in my 50s.I have very sensitive eyes and can wear this mascara, which is smudge-proof and long lasting. It does take make-up remover to completely remove. One of the best fiberwig mascaras, especially with the tiny wand option.I got this for my sister and she absolutely loves it! She says it is much better than the American mascaras she's tried. It looks so natural and makes her lashes look so long! I would definitely recommend it!This is just like most mascaras, not anything outstanding. i would never buy this again, and I would caution others that they are spending a lot for little value.seems as if it does not have many fibers
