The brush is a weird shape, the mascara is clumped all over it and it feels like I'm painting my eyelashes with a paint brush. Step 2: Apply No7 Stay Perfect Mascara with the flexible, short brush that evenly coats lashes from root-to-tip. I’ve always had an issue with mascara smudging beneath my eyes due to oily skin but I’ve finally found a solution; tubing mascara! No7 Stay Perfect Ultra mascara is a long-lasting mascara, with tubing technology that's gentle on lashes.

The mascara literally does come off in tubes which may seem scary to some, they can resemble eyelashes but you can see they are actually flexible once taken off (see pictures below).

It comes off with warm water as instructed, but this left black clumps all around my eyes, which then had to be removed with cotton wool and cleanser. I had previously bought the other version of stay perfect mascara and loved it but this was supposed to be fantastic but was a real let down.

The result is thicker and longer looking lashes, which are truly smudge-free (the liquid dries to a solid but flexible coating, that won’t transfer to the skin). Mascara that lasts through whatever life throws at you, it's: smudge proof flake proof sweat proof humidity proof tearproof .

It can clump if you over use it, but as I said before, this is a one coat type mascara for practical, fuss free women! As for taking the mascara off - dont think they should be banging on about how brill that is either - half of my lashes came off with "the tubes"! The mascara appears to be dry at first, as if the product was old, however once applied it does give a very nice coverage.
