So, I don't usually write reviews, but I put in a makeup order that I based a lot on other people's reviews so I thought I would pay it forward. I have eczema on my eyelids, so any mascara has to be really gentle, and this passed the test. I don't wear contacts. Before this, I used one of Lancome's mascaras, but I'm probably never going back. The formula is light and my lashes feel soft even while the product is on. With the Lancome, my lashes felt almost crunchy and it was flaky, but this mascara hasn't flaked or anything. The application was smooth, and you only really need one coat. My only issue is that it takes a long time to dry, so when I touched my eye it transferred to under my lower lid and my fingers, so that was a mess.
