What the gurus are saying

This mascara delivers strong separation and volume, but the drier formula comes with a tradeoff: it's notably harder to remove than most mascaras, which some gurus find frustrating enough to skip it. The formula also tends to flake slightly with wear. Mascara preference is personal, so those prioritizing long-wearing hold over easy removal may find it worth a try.

"I got the Benefit FanFest Mascara in PR and I actually don't like it. It's a much more dry formula, which gives you more separation, but I feel like it's shockingly hard to remove. You might like it if you're somebody who has a lot of problems with mascara running, but I also cannot stand mascaras that are hard to remove."
