I love this mascara! You have to apply it correctly but I have found it the best for making my lashes really big...
I use maybelline comb mascara first, then apply Fatale, then I comb back thru with the maybelline comb, then I use Loreal Lash Architect.
Using these 3 are great and works the best of all for me....

I read the other reviews and I totally understand because I also had clumpy lashes the first time I used Fatale. I went back to the Lancome counter and asked for more information in how to apply it. If that didn't work, I was going to return it. I only gave it a second chance because I loved the lashes the girl at Lancome had.

The trick to application is this: use the comb to start at the base of your lash and work up. Do NOT wiggle the brush. That's how you get the Tammy Faye clumps (I know-it's hard to resist the wiggle habit.) Think about combing your lash from base to tip. It takes a little practice but I was much improved by the second application. You do have to be patient during application and comb the lash out SLOWLY or you will have clumps. The brush has multiple combs so rather than sticking it back in the tube to get more, just rotate the brush and begin again. What's on the applicator when it first comes out should be enough for one application. It took me about a week to get the hang of it. Like all Lancome mascaras, once it's dried it doesn't smudge or flake and will sit perfectly all day. But once all that is done, I have to say I do have gigantic, fabulous lashes that are long and fat.

This mascara provides length and thickness. If you just want length, try L'Extreme which doesn't require any special application tricks and does give you fabulously long, spikey and skinny lashes. Or there's also Definicils, their original mascara and still quite good. Bottom line is Fatale does give you some amazing eyes but it takes a little patience to learn to use it and to apply it, so consider whether you want the extra bother in your makeup routine.

Lancome is usually the best when it comes to mascara. Hypnose is fantastic, but not Fatale. The 3D wand is a nightmare and the product goes on CLUMPY, CLUMPY,CLUMPY!! Unless you want to look like Tammy Faye Bakker, I would not use this mascara at all. Waste of $25.00.

I got this mascara as a gift, but I knew the price tag before I asked for it...a bit much for me.

I am somewhat of a mascara enthusiast...and I must say, I am disappointed with this comb mascara.
It goes on clumpy...and it's only my second time using it. It can dry quickly, and if you like using a couple coats like me...the comb will stick in your lashes, and hurt!

It will give big lashes...but not good enough for the price.

the first time i tried this product i was pretty impressed....and i'm not a mascara person. after buying it i was a little disappointed. it doesn't always go on evenly or smoothly. i dont usually wear a lot of make-up, and very little eye make-up. i prefer to wash my face using jsut a cleanser (dr hauschka cleansing cream--best product ever) and with this mascara i was forced to use an eye make-up remover.
