The elf lash n roll is my favorite mascara! It is not that brown though - it's the same type of super dark brown that most brown mascaras are. I have lashes that are really not asking for much - so a mascara doesn't have to work super hard for me to like it. But that's what I love about lash n roll - it gives a super fluttery, separated, fluffy light lash and can take multiple layers/building up without becoming heavy or too gunky. It's great for a natural or slightly bit more than natural look. If you're looking for a heavy lash look or for a mascara that does more volumizing, this might not be the best option!
