2V Mascara, Red Earth
I found this dual-application mascara to be quite thick and heavy on my lashes, probably because you apply a lash treatment base prior to the actual mascara. In terms of all-day durability, I did have some slight smudging with this product. However, the removal process was pretty easy using proper eye-makeup remover. -- Sarah Hatten
This mascara is a two-step process. You apply a white base coat, then the black colour coat. The end results are nice -- my lashes look longer, darker and thicker. But I don't like the two-step process. Two tubes of mascara take up more room in my makeup bag than one and I don't like clutter. Plus, it takes longer to switch from one tube to another instead of just applying two coats of your favourite one-step mascara. I didn't notice any fabulous results compared to my regular mascara so I don't have any incentive to accept the hassle of changing my mascara regimen. Makeup application should be quick and easy and if I'm going to lengthen the process, the results have to be worthwhile. Like the other two mascaras I tried, this one stays clean all day long with no smudging, clumping or flaking. -- Jen Melo
