I am a mascara junkie. I have heard so many make up artists on tv say that mabelline greatlash is the best on the market. My eyelashes have a mind of their own and I need something a little thicker. I use mabelline illegal lengths. A great way to avoid clumping is to stretch your eye lid with your finger from the outer corner of your eye making your eye almost shut. Then wiggle the wand back and forth from root to tip. Always brush a little towards the outer corner of your eye. It helps them look open and give that doe eye appearance. Don't forget the little lashes too. Good luck!
