I don't need mascara or eyeshadow/liner, but, I kept coming back to the demo video and how gorgeous it looked on the model. I'm so glad I got this! The mascara stays on. The brush really volumizes and lengthens. Don't let the magnification of the pic mislead you - the 'prongs' are very small and stiff and work great. The pencil just glides on perfectly, is beautiful, and lasts. The black is a gorgeous blend of black, silver and blue(?). It's stunning. HSN please don't let this girl go! TY Cynde!
