This mascara is decent overall, it is a lot better than I thought it would be. I purchased it at Sephora because of a friends recommendation that I wanted a more natural look. It does not clump if you apply it from root-to-tip doing a quick back-and-forth wiggle motion. This mascara gives my lashes more volume than I am used to, especial when they advertise it for a natural look and feel! The other downsides are that the mascara does flake a little throughout the day; you wind up with tiny little black debris on the tops of your cheeks. And easy trip to the washroom, and problem solved, also the price can be steep for some.
