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 use.<br /><br />I've 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 5 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 don't think I would order again though. It took too much effort to apply.
