Estée Lauder Mascara

This is a mascara that I bought with my own money and it turned out to be a failure. It smudges when I apply it, and it doesn't seem to suit me well. My daughter bought it for me, but my eyelashes didn't curl up properly and didn't seem to have any strength.

I'm not sure if it's just me or if the Tarod mascara doesn't suit me.
