L'Oreal Manga Mascara: Am I doing it wrong?

[MrsBertMacklin]

I bought the purple one today on impulse. It's meant to give super thick, long lashes.

It took three coats to get the same thickness as I get with one coat of my normal mascara.

The first page of search results gives me a load of blog posts, all saying it's a 4 star mascara, plus pages of reviews on the L'oreal site, Makeup Alley etc, also rating it highly.

Anyone here used it? Is there a particular application technique that I should be using?

I use it, its my new absolute favourite, so much so i bought another 4 whilst they were on offer

I find wiggling thr brush side to side the best technique and if this makes sense, turning the brush vertical and pulling it through the ends of my lashes.
Also make sure your lashes are free of any moisturiser/eye cream as this can cause it to have trouble adhering. hth

I would persevere. I always find that new mascara is "weird" for the first few uses. Every single sort/make.
