The hype this product has is true and real. I highly recommend grabbing yourself a bottle because it really does make your base *that* much better. I put this on after my primer and I love how isn’t full coverage but is still buildable!

This is the only thick brush mascara that I’ll use! I’m not typically a waterproof girly because of how hard it can be to wash off, but I will get this one. It stays and does not budge or flake at all. I did my own makeup for a wedding I was in and t...

My daily and go-to mascara! I have long lashes and the thin brush that comes with this is *chefs kiss*. It lengthens and spreads the eyelashes apart giving a fuller and natural look. I highly recommend
