My Experience:
I fell in love with the packaging of this mascara instantly! However, when I unveiled the curvy applicator my feelings changed! It features 3 curves, so I was confused where to start with it! Once I went to work I found it was really difficult to use and to get an even coating. I didn’t see anywhere near 70% more curl, in fact there was very little. I managed to create a little more volume with a second coat and it didn’t clump at all. I think Rimmel have gone a bit OTT with the brush and it is excessively curvy. I guess practice makes perfect but I’m not willing to put the work in as the end results are far from fantastic.
