PAUL & JOE Smudgeproof Mascara has a special brush that is called the 'wink' shape. It is curved so that it fits closely to the roots of the eyelash making sure every hair is completely covered. The wavy brush fibers stick out in all different directions to allow ample coverage & even shorter hairs are caught & covered by the mascara. It holds the curl in place. It is resistant to perspiration & the highly pigmented powder gives the lashes a rich colour. It dries very quickly to allow you to apply more than one coat. It acts as a treatment for the lash hairs by containing Hydrolysed Silk Protein & Amino acids. This 'film-type' mascara covers the lash in a cone shape which allows it to soften when it comes into contact with warm water & slide off each lash easily making it simple & gentle to remove.
