I often have transfer on my cheeks due to my face shape. Zero transfer with this!
New favorite mascara!! I’ve worn this all day, many days, including while biking or working out and only once or twice got a tiny bit of transfer. The other mascaras Ive used usually start coming off under my eyes after a while. I’ve never had any mascara work this well before. It also looks great, is relatively easy to wash off, and doesn’t sting, or irritate my eyes, which a lot of mascaras Show more
