this stuff is great for hooded eyes, downturned and straight lashes, and those with oily eyelids. I curl my lashes, apply a layer of this fixer, wait for it to dry, and then apply my normal mascara on top. i was able to go hours without my eyelashes falling or drooping or smudging underneath my eye, which are all problems that i have with my very hooded eyes. I will say that you need a makeup remover to get rid of the excess fixer at the end of the day- it didn't come off just with me scrubbing my eyes with my normal facial cleanser. but it isn't nearly as bad as trying to scrub waterproof mascara off your eyelashes, so i think it's a fair trade-off!
