This mascara has to be understood: don't wiggle it in and force something. It does its magic better, the softer you apply. Sounds bs but is true. Once in my life i was asked about my great lash look, this did it. Doll like, eye-opening effect, holds the curl but is easily washed off at night (saves your lashes). I know so many mascara formulas/wands..this is one of 3 mascaras i re-stock. I know, the bristles look like nothing but it is amazing

For me this is the best mascara, give you a dramatic eyelash look (long and with volume), but without being excessive. Its the third time I but it. One small remark, I have very oily skin and sometimes the mascara micgrates (black eyes), but if I fix my makeup with powder is ok.

I really regret this purchase, wish I had read the reviews first. I have not used mascara that smudges so much in years! It's awful. After an hour of walking and sitting I looked like a panda.

I have very straight eyelashes so I don't rely on mascara to provide a sufficient lift. I use an eyelash curler every time so mascara should keep the lift and not straighten eyelashes, this is a must. Second is fallout. This mascara has kept eyelash curl quite well, however the product fallout was heartbreaking. I looked like a racoon practically within an hour, so this was a disappointment. However my lashes looked quite nice with it.

I rarely buy expensive mascara. I just buy drug store. I heard good things about this mascara. I wanted to try and LOVE the wand. Easy to take off too!

i loved it if i want volume- a good dupe is the mabeline false lash effect or elf big drama (cruelty fre)

I bought the travel size recently, so I couls test and see what the hype is all about. It goes on nicely, makes my lashes feathery and adds a little bit of length. Not much volume though. Unfortunately, it crumbles a lot throughout the day and I can see tiny black spots in my undereye area, as well as on my glasses (when I wear them). It looks OK when applied, but it's just OK. Will not repurchase, as I have other mascaras that work much better and are way cheaper.

I bought this mascara in high hopes it would work. Unfortunately, it’s the worst mascara I’ve owned. The mascara went on well, I read it needed building up, so slowly I built it up and it looked okay this morning. By lunch time the mascara had flakes under my eye (this is the first mascara I’ve owned to do this) and to make the situation worse my lashes were flat and short! I’ve since thrown the £21 NARS Climax Mascara away and bought a Maybelline £7.99 mascara which does exactly what I need. I’m kicking myself for wasting my money on this, I’m hoping you don’t too!

This is seriously over hyped. I am a big NARS fan but this one truly disappointed me. You have to keep applying this on your lashes to feel that there is mascara on them. Thumbs down.

I was looking forward to buying this mascara, as I am a huge mascara fan, but it is not great at all. I think I need to many coats for to make my lashes look as I want them to look, and I usually need to use only one coat! Also, really hard to remove it and does not matter how hard I try, in the morning I have black smudges under the eye. Many other better options. I will never buy it again. PS I still love NARS though.
