So here's my secret weapon...
I do a coat of MAC prep and prime lash...let it completely dry.
Then I add a coat of Fresh Supernova mascara, again letting it dry completely, another coat of prep and prime lash, then another of Fresh Supernova. Finally I do a coat of Fibrewig. This gives me intensely unreal lashes. I love it! Obviously you have to take the time to get the desired result and it's a little too oomph! for more casual situations.

This brush works wonders on making sure your lashes are completely saturated with color as well as separating and declumping. You may, also, use it to actually apply your mascara as well. It's one of my HG brushes!

It really does make my eyelashes have more volume and gives them a very defined look. Unfortunately, I stopped buying it because I can't really afford it much anymore

The #205 Mascara Fan Brush has to be one of MAC’s cutest brushes of all time! For such a tiny brush it’s a work horse!
If you’ve ever seen one in person and felt its texture what you’ll notice, first, is that it’s a synthetic bristle (which is key). It is very firm and strong for a tiny little brush – and you’ll notice that the ends of this brush have a little play meaning they’re pliable or flexible, and of course when turned on its side it’s, completely, flat!
These unique features will give you extreme control over your application technique, especially when you’re trying to fuss with getting that tiny bit of mascara color into/onto the very neglected outer corners of your lashes.
The beauty of this brush is when you’ve finished wiggling and applying the necessary gobs of color onto the lashes you take your #205 and simply pull your color out from the root base to the very ends in a simple combing fashion until you’ve cleaned up and evened out your color application.
The first time I used this brush it was disturbing – you never know how long and full your lashes are until you’ve used this brush. My lashes, seriously, looked fake!
First thing you’ll notice is that you've combed off any excess color, eliminating the clumps!
Second, you’ll notice you’ve managed to, successfully, separate all your lashes in a nice fashion.
Third, you’ll see that you’ve been able to reach the lash root with ease as well as those pesky corners that always go neglected.
It cleans very easily, as you’ll want to make sure you clean this brush very carefully, as you go along, even as you are still perfecting your lashes. Simply wash/wipe off the excess mascara caught onto the brush so it doesn’t clog the fine, individual, bristles which work to separate your lashes. The cleaner the brush is the better it works.
This brush is also a perfect way to simplify getting bottom lashes as well without having to risk smudging your makeup with the mascara wand. Simply use the #205 to pick up just a trace amount of color off of the mascara wand and color/comb the lashes with the brush instead. You’ll have a lighter - more controlled, precise and easier application.
I always recommend this brush to natural blondes or redheads who have fair colored lashes and simply want to use a clear, uncolored mascara and simply want to darken them slightly with the clear effects - this brush is great for clear mascara applications for a very natural look.
My Fav MA, also, told me that he loves to use this brush to really define and carve out inner creases – he swears by this brush for that as he gets a very defined line with it. I’ve never tried it for inner crease carving, personally, but I will someday. My looks, usually, require a less defined not so thin of a line.
I can see where using this brush with some fluidlines or Paint Pots to, really, edge out a fine razor like line would come in handy, for sure!
This brush would, also, be perfect for applying pigments to hair for those funky party streaks. Since it’s stiff enough to carry the desired Piggie color as you pull it through the hair.
When you decide to get one have fun!

Shiseido Mascara Base will truly benefit any kind of mascara you use and create an illusion of great lashes.
Some great mascaras that I can recommend are: Dior Diorshow Mascara, The Socialite Collection Mascara (a bit expensive), Too Face Lash Injection Mascara, Lash Fusion Lash Plump Mascara, Are They Real Mascara? by Hotwax (extremely affordable, under $10), Chanel Inimitable Mascara, Cover Girl Lash Blast (extremely affordable, under $10), and Benefit Bad Girl Mascara.

I hate Lash Blast, Great Lash, and all that other stuff that's similar [sorry ladies, its just me, promise!]. My lashes are stupid so those formulas never worked. But for a super false lash look, my go-to is lash stylist. That shit is hardcore. The comb separates and defines pretty good, and I get length and volume. My other HG mascaras are Full N Soft and Lash Discovery [they won't give you the look that you want, but are great for everyday].

Diorshow and Plushlash are HG mascaras for me
A few (3 or more) coats Lasblast works for me in a pinch.
But now I will, like a lot of you ladies, run out and get that fan brush
