takes patience to apply dry mascara [SEP] i have very light brown eye lashes i do not generally go a day without wearing mascara even at home i just like the way it looks mascara and eye liner are the only makeup i usei have used high end and drug store mascara this mascara leans more toward drug store quality it was somewhat dry i had to put the brush back in the tube at least times for each eye in the end i got it to a place the looked pretty good it lasted most of the day as well i do not think i would order again though it took too much effort to apply
