I've been using this mascara almost daily for about 3 years now and love it. The formula is great with no clumping or smudging and only flaking around 6months old when it needs to be replaced anyway. Excellent color pay off and applies with a natural feathery look. However it doesnt do much to curl or volume by itself.
My thoughts on Missha The Style 4D mascara
This is the first Korean mascara I have tried and this one was really cheap so I thought I give it a try.
This mascara doesn’t clump, which is a big hurray. It also is really black in application. It is easy to build layers with it, but I tend to use one or two layers the most, since I am looking for a natural result in all of my makeup. If I go out, I might add some false lashes instead, to get a fuller effect. I simply can’t stand eyelashes that clump together, and I really think it looks awful and unnatural.
When I apply mascara I always take off the excess with a piece of paper, I simply take a paper and drag it over the brush pinching my fingers over the brush. By doing this I get a more natural result, since the brush isn’t packed with product. (a tip from Wayne Goss)
I know that a lot of the products end up in my paper, but you should never use a mascara for that long since there are risks of eye infection.
This mascara won’t give you super long curled eyelashes. Instead it will give you a natural result which is usually the Korean way.
The formula is rather dry which makes the product dry faster than others. It dried up rather quick compared to other mascaras I usually use. I often throw away a mascara because I feel that it is time, not because it is empty. This one I had to throw out because it got dry. And it is impossible to use it like that. There might be a way to save it by adding something to it, but I don’t want to bother or risk anything when it comes to my eyes.
I can’t say that it curls my lashes in any way. I have semi long lashes that tends to bend a little upwards but I usually curl my lashes before applying mascara. The mascara held the curl all day, and did not crunch on my lashes either.
For being a waterproof mascara, it was really easy to remove. I used the Skinfood Milk Shake Point Remover, and I didn’t have any difficulties removing it. It also lasted the whole day on my lashes.
