I started using this mascara when I was 16 (I'm 22 now), and like many people, wanted to experiment with other mascaras to see if I can find something that works better. I have tried many different kinds of mascara (department store and drug store brands) and I have given up my quest in finding a bigger and better mascara because I keep going back to Max Factor's 2000 Calorie, which is the only one that really thickens and lengthens my very sparse lashes, with very minimal or no smudging. The only slight drawback is that if too many layers are applied it tends to feel a little heavy on the lashes. I guess I little goes a long way. Still, it's the best mascara I've tried and relatively inexpensive.
