I can only confirm the other reviews. I can not say anything about the special effect emphasizing my green eyes, perhaps the effect is simply too subtle ;-) But the mascara smudged really not. I also have tried all sorts of Mascaras, but always had the problem that I had black circles under the eyes after a very short time. It was so bad that I eventually completely ceased to wear mascara. Then I was lured here but by the advertising promises and have tried this mascara ... and the smears and actually crumbling not. Even light snow can my eye makeup harm. The mascara keeps you up the momentum and do everything that needs to do a mascara. :-)
