I was kindly sent this to review by NYX.  The brush is a weird shape which I have never seen on a mascara before.  It is hourglass shaped but also rounded.  The bristles are all the same length.  It also has a swiper in the tube so that the brush has the right amount of product on.  I found it difficult to apply to my inner corner lashes as I couldn’t figure out how best to hold the brush to get them – I did poke myself in the eye several times.  It applies lovely and has a matte finish which I love.  The first week I only wore one coat and didn’t notice much lift effect to my lashes.  The second week onwards I applied two coats and saw a lift in my lashes.  My lashes in with two coats were flexible and didn’t clump.  The only downside to this mascara is that it dropped and as someone with Dry Eye it is not good to get bits of mascara in my eyes.  I would have liked bristles on the end so that I could hold the brush vertical in order to apply mascara to the inner corner lashes.
