Okay so I have never used a Mascara with a brush like this before. I really like how long the brush wand is too - it makes it easier for me to apply for some reason. Anyway, thanks to the tiny brush you can really easy go for a day look with natural looking lashes, with no nasty clumps. You can probably layer it too but I have not tried it, if I need more volume I would pick a mascara specifically made for that.
