I can only agree with the negative reviews here. I was just disappointed the first time and wanted to return the mascara again. First, I found the brush too big. You can see the fine lashes at the inner edge of the eye hardly reach, although I have rather long eyelashes and big eyes. Then the brush bristles were totally stuck, so I had a huge dollop on the eyelashes and everything blurred. As another customer already wrote, the mascara needs to be applied very often, because the brush (if it's not even vollgekleckst), gives too little color. I think the reason is that the bristles are too long. I still give you a star because the water resistance when it was raining, it was confirmed. I recommend the classic version of Maybelline Volum Express that has never disappointed me.
