    I purchased this mainly for the claims that it holds a curl really well. I don't need any lengthening, but volume and curl hold are really important to me. This does both for me. There is a certain...

    This is an amazing product. I had a hard time shelling out $22 for a mascara base, but decided one time wouldn't be a sin and I read so many great reviews. It makes my eyelashes look super long...

    LOVE this mascara base. It holds a curl amazingly well and also lengthens incredibly. It can make even the worst mascara look good. I usually apply a coat, concentrating at the tips to lengthen,...

    I was unsure about this in the beginning,as I was trying to put it on quickly, then hurry to use mascara so it wouldn't clump as many reviewers had warned. It worked for holding curl, but not much...

    I love this stuff. It is the only product that I've ever used that will hold the curl. I use it with the Shiseido eye lash curler and Clinique curling mascara. But, you don't even have to use...

    This is my HG mascara base/primer. I've tried quite a few, and this is the one that does the most for volume, separation, and holding the curl of your lashes, BY FAR. If you are testing out...

    I'm amazed by this product. This product holds my curl all day and it makes my lashes looks longer. But it's pretty hard to remove it from my eye lash.
