This mascara is awesome especially for the lower eyelashes, great for the corner eyelashes and it doesn’t flake off. I have oily skin and it’s been a great buy !!!...Great primer -- less great liner...It is okay for that, it takes me awhile if I want to do it, doesn't really save any time. As a primer, I love it!

It lays down black pigment between each and every lash for instant tightline eyeliner definition and the look of a fuller lash line.
