I was looking for a inexpensive plumping mascara to give me a dramatic look since I suck at applying false eyelashes. This mascara works well. It claims to give you up to 5x the volume of your natural lash but I would not go as far as to stand behind that claim. It does add a good amount of volume but I apply about 3-4 coats to get the look i want. I would recommend it!! Great price & good results :)
