    Since I have very short and fine lashes, I decided to try this base to see if I could gain some needed volume. I've used this base three times so far and I can definitely see an improvement in...

    If you use quality mascaras, don't bother with this stuff. It did nothing under my DiorShow except pull out the curl. I wouldn't recommend unless you're using low performing mascaras.

    This mascara base didn't make any difference to the length or volume of my lashes. My lashes are medium length, for reference. This base straightens up my curled lashes, leaving them looking...

    Wow, was this stuff disappointing! My lashes are pretty nice but I love to make them long and thick though not clumpy. This base failed on all accounts. It added pretty much zip in length and...

    I have to agree with the review below. I found this primer very disappointing. I gave it a two because it did help my mascara stay put all day and ensured it never flaked but it does nothing for...

    Bad disappointment, I absolutely hate this product!! Did nothing for length and volume but clumped immediately like cement on my lashes so it's been nearly impossible to put some mascara on. Could...

    I'm not fully understanding what this product is supposed to do. I've used it several times under different mascaras, but mostly under YSL. Perhaps that's the problem. It doesn't seem to add any...

    I was previously using the L'Oreal Double Extend, and, while I love the primer, I wasn't crazy about the mascara formula. After a lot of searching through MUA's reviews, I went with this product,...

    I really like this for the simple fact that it makes all/any mascara stay put and not smear throughout the day. I curl my lashes and they stay curled all day long, so I think this does a good job...

    This mascara base adds length and volume, allows the mascara to apply smoothly, and prevents smudges. If I don't use this base underneath my mascara, I can notice a clear difference. This product...
