I bought this mostly to condition and strengthen my thinning lashes..Since it is also a tint, that was a plus..I have tried tints before, and really had no opinion one way or the other..they are what they are, and they are definitely not like a mascara..The thing I did not like about this particular one, was that it is very liquid, and runs and smears..I tried it twice, and had it all over my eyes..kind of a waste of time, money and product..
