I have oily eyelids and hooded eyes and have been searching for years for a mascara that doesn't smudge and give me raccoon rings, especially in the humid summer. I read so many good things about this one and was hoping it would do the trick but no :( This does make my lashes look thicker and longer but even in the cold weather it smudges quickly and then gets brittle and flakes (often right into my eyes. Ouch) Still searching!! 

I have been a fan of Dior Hypnose Drama waterproof mascara, but it's so dang expensive, and even then, it still smudges a bit above the eyelid and below the eyelid by the end of the day. I came across Heroine mascara and thought to just try it out, but wow I was so amazed by the result!Stunning! None of the lashes clumped together, and each lash looks longer (magic?). I also forgot to remove the mascara and went to take a shower instead, I also washed my face with makeup remover in the shower, but my mascara game is still popping after I came out of the shower! The mascara is still intact to my lashes, and my lashes stayed curled!! Like What?! What kind of black magic do they have inside this bottle?! amazing, hands down, must try! 

Surprisingly found this mascara to look pretty natural, kind of like the look of covergirl clump crusher but with much more length, if that makes sense. It didn't curl my lashes too much, but it did lengthen a lot without any clumping or spidery-ness. It is definitely the most waterproof mascara I've ever used -- I've worn this in the rain, during workouts, and during naps and it will not come off. That being said it is also a pain to remove (I have to oil cleanse around my eyes twice and then regular cleanse 1-2 times as well) and usually results in a few of my lashes falling out. However, it is the only mascara that I trust to be fully waterproof, without smudging or flaking, so I keep this on hand for special occasions. 

I've tried a lot of mascaras in my time and this is my favourite. If they ever stop making it I'll be lost! I'll try to keep this short: > Brush shape is curved at the end, narrow width. Helps fan out & separate, pushes up lashes from underneath when applying - means curl doesn't get pulled down and flattened and instead keeps the curl in place once dry. > Narrow width of brush means corners and lower lashes are easy to apply to > Micro-fibre formula - lengthens quite dramatically > Does not clump or remain sticky > Remains soft, feathery and full even as more coats are added > Does not irritate my contact lenses once dry, can use eye drops and it won't dissolve > Practically bulletproof once dry - no smudging, no loss of curl angle/height, no flaking, no panda eyes unless you rub your eyes or similar >not affected by rain or crying, eye drops etc >looks as good at the end of a hectic 13 hour on-call shift at the hospital as it does at the start. Seriously, it does not budge! >comes off easily with cotton pads and a cheap biphasic eye makeup remover i.e. the ones with an oily layer on top of an aqueous one. You don't need the brand's own remover. >good price point - average £10-15 per tube with shipping, while it outperforms £25 diorshow and all the Benefit mascaras I've tried A bsolutely the best mascara I have ever used! « less

I love this one! It's as the said on the tin, really lengthening, it's thickening version is really good as well, but I prefer this one a little more just because I like the feathery long lash affect. I find that I don't need to take off the excess with this one, doesn't clump up at all, and holds the curl all day. Now, it is really smudge-proof, I have very heavy hooded lid, EVERYTHING smudges on me, but all kiss me water proof ones don't, this is great for me, though I heard some people who doesn't care about the smudging say it's a bit too much work to remove, I don't find that as I use a oil based balm cleanser.
