By far, this is my fav mascara. I have watery eyes, so waterproof mascara is a must, and need something that is easy to take it off, which this mascara does. There is no clumping, no flaking, and very minor smudging, but I have very oily skin, so it might not be for others. It lengthens well, and goes on very smoothly. I finally found a mascara that works for me. Only with a grace of God!
