    I love this mascara base because it's not sticky and clumpy. I have short, sparse, stick straight lashes and this stuff gives my lashes that extra oomp when I apply the mascara. It's a must have...

    Very happy with this product. It is like having a lash plumper and color sealer in one. I use it before Shiseido Advanced Volume mascara and have never been happier. I was using Dior Show Black Out...

    Oh great overlords at Shiseido, thank you for blessing us with this magical, amazing product. My stick straight, wimpy asian lashes bow down to you in all your glory. You hold a curl like none...

    I bought this mascara base on a whim a couple of years ago at the Shiseido makeup counter, and I have been using it religiously ever since! I have very straight Asian lashes that don't hold a curl...

    What can I say that no one else has said before. This stuff is amazing. It makes lashes sooo long. It turns subpar mascara into HG worthy mascara. I also like the fact that this is clear and not...

    This is my HG because it addresses the one make up problem I have never been able to remedy. Every mascara I have ever worn smudges on me very badly. The raccoon factor has made me switch...

    A really fantastic mascara base that is actually able to hold the curl! I am really pleased with this mascara base, because it can do what I've always wanted a mascara base to do - HOLD THE CURL!...

    I apply this after curling my lashes with the shu uemura eye lash curler and it really holds the curl, eventhough I have stick straight lashes.It makes my lashes look neat and defined.

    while pricey, this base does a really good job of separating my lashes and holding the curl. It helps make my lashes look really defined and "neat." definitely a HG!

    This is so overrated. I can't believe it's one of MUA's Top Picks! :( It hardens your lashes & makes them spidery-looking so that when you put on mascara, it looks clumpy. My little brother told me...

    This base is definitely a must for me every time I put on mascara. The base appears gray and goopy but it surely makes your eyelashes stay curled longer--all day in fact. I think the price is...
