Amazing--I've finally found the one

I don't often write reviews but this mascara is like nothing I've ever used before. At 68, I've no patience for complicated makeup. I've stopped wearing eyeliner and shadow because a clean moisturized lid looks fresher, but I do like mascara to define my eyes. I've tried dozens and they either look artificial and clumpy or don't do much at all. I resigned myself to "low impact" eyes.

When this came today I applied it the way I always apply mascara, looking down into a small magnifying compact. It went on easily--very black with no clumps and full feathery lashes in one coat. So far, so good. Then I looked at my full face in the bathroom mirror and was taken aback. My eyes looked so pretty! This mascara does exactly what a great mascara should do--makes you look like you have gorgeous dark natural lashes. Thank you, Wayne.

Grace is a chameleon color

This is the perfect natural color. I've been transitioning my hair color from medium golden brown to my natural silver. Brown brows look too bold and gray looks odd. Grace looks perfect. I love the flat tip--very precise. The highlighter is very subtle and natural. I reordered!

Love this color

This is the perfect color for my hazel green eyes now that I am letting my natural silver gray hair come in. My usual black was just too harsh and other colors seemed to disappear or make me look tired. This color gives me the definition I need, looks very natural, and adds some oomph to my eyes. I use it with Eyes to Mesmerise gel shadow. Daytime I use it with Jean applied very lightly for just a bit of brightness. For nights out I use it with the matching Veruschka shadow and it gives a perfect soft monotone smokey eye. It glides on beautifully without any tug.

Perfect nude for every day

I am forever ooking for the perfect MLBB shade. Very Victoria comes very close for an everyday polished but natural look. I love that I can put it on and forget about it--no tweaking because it's too bright, too pale, or too brown; and no blotting or adding gloss to get the right texture. I apply over balm and find it stays creamy for several hours. It might just be my chemistry, but the color seems to bloom in the first 5 minutes. That said, it does not have quite enough color for dress-up meetings or nights out. I like the texture and effect enough to try other shades and I'm still deciding between Bond Girl and Walk of Shame. Need to know which one runs more mauve.
