I tested this mascara because it was recommended as a cheap Action mascara that is not inferior to expensive mascara in a news article. I used it with and without an eyelash curler. He doesn't curl my lashes and doesn't apply nicely. The brush is too thick, I often accidentally grab my eyelid. The mascara is too wet, the brush also often has a string of mascara at the tip. Removing it is terrible, it removes slimy chunks, as if the mascara has never dried.
