It's metal, so it feels sturdy. The wand is thin, making it easy to apply precisely, and even though it's not a brush wand, it applies well.

NEOGEN

Extra Slim Metal Maxi Cara (Refill available)

This is my first time buying mascara in this form. I usually only use basic mascaras, but after seeing Sung Yuri use it on Hemeco's YouTube, I decided to purchase it. Since I'm in my 40s, I really related to her comment about thick or large brushes smudging on the eyelids... haha. What I like most is that it doesn’t clump at the tips of the lashes. Some other reviews say the mascara feels heavy, but I don’t really notice it. Of course, it does feel a bit heavier compared to regular mascaras, but personally, it doesn’t bother me much. It defines each lash, doesn’t clump, and feels natural for daily use. I think I made a good purchase. I’ll keep using it~

Wow, I was first surprised by the very long case, and then surprised again by how heavy it felt. Since the brush part is made of metal, it has some weight to it when applying, which actually makes it feel more stable! Also, it's very slim, so even when applying to my downward-pointing lashes, it goes on evenly without much effort! I went to work out and it barely smudged, so I think this will be my go-to mascara~

The metal mascara was really fascinating. I was a bit scared at first because the brush is metal, but once I tried it, it lifted each eyelash clearly and looked neat. It hardly clumps, applies well even on the lower lashes, making it great for detailing. The curling seems to last longer than regular mascaras, staying smudge-free all day. I was especially surprised it stayed perfect from morning until afternoon. Also, the metal brush makes cleansing much easier and feels more hygienic. However, applying multiple layers can feel a bit heavy, so one or two coats are just right. Overall, I highly recommend this product for those who like clean, defined lashes.

I got the slim version of NEOGEN to use on my lower lashes, and the brush is super thin, so it's really easy to apply! When I use it on my upper lashes that have clumped together, it actually makes them look more separated and prettier. But honestly, I don't think I'll be taking it with me when I travel—it’s just too big and heavy.
