There are no spider eyes with this near perfect product. One Coat comes in brown, black/brown, and black. It retails for around $5 and can be found at discount department stores like Target, beauty stores like Ulta, and at drugstores like CVS.
While there are lots of mascaras on the market today, the above represent some of the very best according to a cross section of consumers and practioners in the beauty field.
