As the name suggests, yes it does give your eyelashes instant volume and lift. It can do wonders to your eyelashes.It comes with its own wand like brush so it is super easy to apply. If you have thin eye lashes, then I would suggest to use eye lash curler before applying this mascara . It’s waterproof and smudgeproof as well, so you don’t have to worry about after 4 to 5 hours as well.Nice product in this price range.
