I would just like to start off by saying, this is the BEST MASCARA EVER!!! I am a makeup artist, and I would never go to an appointment without this in my case. If you want even longer, thicker lashes I recommend using the Prep & Prime Lash and the EyeLash Fan Brush along with this product. You will get the results you see in a professional photo shoot. I cannot praise this mascara enough. It does exactly what the name says, it plushes your lashes! Full of volume!! It does have  a double sided brush, maybe tricky to use for starters, but The M.A.C. Ladies/Gents will def show you how to use it!!...
