This mascara has a small wand and short bristles, making it easy to coat the lashes from top to bottom. It does not clump, separates and lengthens the lashes. It lasted me all day but most mascaras lasts all day for me anyway. Unfortunately it does not provide much volume and since the bristles are so short, it requires a lot of time to properly build up the lashes to the desired look. I recommend using this for the bottom lashes but for $30, there are many other options out there for a fraction of the price.
