If you struggle with straight or short lashes, this will be game changing. With a curved wand and a richly pigmented formula, it uses a double-sided and silicone brush to separate, lift and curl even the smallest of lashes. Smudge and flake resistant, and with a vegan formula, it’s one that’ll work whatever the occasion.
