It did give my lashes volume, but it didn’t really do much else. The second coat is definitely not needed as it just made my lashes clumpy, but did not add any length or volume. The photo was taken after I brushed my lashes out with a clean spoolie.
However, the good news is that it did not flake. Like, at all. I’ve been using it exclusively for the past few days and it did not budge. I usually go out at around 7:30 in the morning and am back home at 17:30. The other day we went to a dinner party at my boyfriend’s mom’s and I wore the mascara for more than 12 hours and it did not flake, it did not move, I had the same nothing-special lashes as I did at the beginning of the day. You can see that in the below photo (the quality is horrendous, but this is fake bathroom lighting coming at ya) and I tried my best not to wipe my undereye area as much as usual (the concealer is really getting at me sometimes, but I will review it next time).
