I think this is ok for wearing to the office when you need to look good yet understated. It just barely makes a difference to my lashes! I expected a dramatic difference but I was let down. There is nothing super about this mascara. Even after putting on a few coats I still didn't see anything impressive. I'm not big on the brush either. On the good side it doesn't clump .. So goes without saying that I will not be buying this again!
